Remove the Pain

 Before working with Mike, I couldn’t even pick up a sock off the floor without extreme low back pain. Standing for extended periods was unbearable, and I was completely knocked out of sports and fitness for months. Eventually, the pain started to take a toll on my emotional health too. I truly tried everything — multiple physios, yoga, Pilates, massage, and every stretching and strengthening routine I could find. Nothing gave me long-term relief. Eventually, I had to swallow my pride and try something that looked almost too simple to work. Thank God I did, because now I understand why it works. The brain plays a far greater role in low back pain than I ever realized. Today, I’m completely pain-free in daily life and 100% back to playing hockey. My low back feels the best it has in years. I can do all my fitness activities again — I just stay smart and mindful not to overload my back unnecessarily. What surprised me most was that holding simple ground positions and doing low-effort movements with specific breathing could make such a massive difference. I’d always believed more effort was better, but I had to learn to relax and trust the process. If you’re struggling with pain, I can’t recommend Mike enough. His approach might seem different and less mainstream, but that’s exactly why it works. If you go to Mike first, you’ll save yourself a huge amount of time, energy, and frustration. Even if you’ve already tried physio or chiro, Mike’s ability to address the root

 Mike has been an absolute lifesaver for my back and sciatica pain. After spending months in physical therapy focused on general exercises, I was still stuck in a frustrating cycle — every time I tried to return to lifting or my normal activities, the pain would flare up again. Mike’s highly personalized approach finally made the difference. Even as a remote program, his support is outstanding. He provides daily exercises that he adjusts in real time based on my feedback. Anytime I’ve had a concern and reached out, he’s responded quickly and modified my plan to keep me moving forward safely. What truly sets Mike apart is that he doesn’t just give you exercises — he teaches you how to move properly, what to avoid, and how to build real, lasting strength. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have my life back and I’m returning to the active lifestyle I love. I highly recommend Mike and his program to anyone struggling with chronic pain, especially if traditional methods haven’t worked.

 Before working with Mike, I was dealing with persistent, non-radiating trap and low back pain. Sitting for any length of time felt like something was clamping down on my neck and lower back — which was especially stressful because I need to sit for work. I was genuinely worried about my ability to support myself long-term. Prior to this, I had already spent six months seeing a McGill specialist and another physical therapist, but nothing fully resolved the issue. Working with Mike was a turning point. By engraining neutral movement patterns and learning how to incorporate them throughout my day, my pain is now either completely gone or something I can quickly control and fix. Today I feel nearly 100%, and I’m fully back to doing fitness activities again. What surprised me most was how important it was to regain awareness of where true spinal neutral is. It’s easy to lose and surprisingly hard to relearn. At first, maintaining that awareness felt impossible — but after a few weeks it became much easier, and that’s when my progress improved exponentially. I would absolutely recommend Mike. Everyone’s back pain is different, but if you haven’t been able to find neutral and pain-free movement patterns, that’s probably why nothing else has worked. This should be square one for anyone who spends significant time sitting or struggles with standing and moving comfortably.
