Dedicated to reversing the causes of lower back pain, Core Balance Training is an online program that uses core activation and movement retraining to help people improve posture and escape the back pain cycle. Students first learn how to activate the spinal support muscles of their deep core by connecting to their 'Core Anchors', then how to apply that connection to movement. Students are guided through a system of core-based movement, resulting in a healthy core connection and supported spine in activities of daily life.Core Balance Training was founded in 2016 by Dr. Ryan Peebles, a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has committed over 20 years to better understanding and reversing the root causes of chronic lower back pain. After overcoming his personal struggles with back problems, Dr. Ryan now guides others to get out of pain.The 12-week program can be completed by all ages and fitness levels. It begins with simple core-based movements, progressing to functional and complex movements over a 3 month period. All movements become healthy for the spine, allowing students to return to higher level activities, such as fitness and sport without pain. Other outcomes are improved function and reduced or eliminated lower back pain. Because the solution focuses on education and movement retraining, the results of Core Balance Training are typically lifelong.

I learned so much from CBT. Using the three core anchors to support my lumbar spine has been a game changer. Although I still have some SI joint pain on my left side, I believe that it will completely heal if I follow the exercises and advice I’ve learned from Dr. Ryan.

I didn't believe it, and you may not either...
Let me lay some ground-work here: I am 86 y/o, female, retired, PT. I had used ALL of my own PT ''tools'' : heat, cold, ice, positioning, back support, and exercises-for-''fixing''my own back pain. I had also tried every PT, OT, chiropractor and personal trainer exercises I could find (free) on-line, all to no avail. I have SIX different AGE-related spinal problems clearly showing on MRI, any ONE of which could be the source of my back, hip, and leg pain. NOTHING helped. So, I thought I'd try one more PT program, in spite of having to pay for it. To be honest, I was very skeptical that ANYTHING might help, but I was also desperate for something that would ease my pain. I am ''allergic to the word surgery'' :-) so that is why I was still searching. At first glance, CBT seemed way too easy to be of any value. But I HAD to find relief, so I reluctantly tried it.
WOW !! after the first week or so, it had actually started decreasing my pain. I will admit that it has not made me pain-free, but it has decreased my pain substantially. As long as I keep using the basic concept of the program (my anchors), I have little or NO pain, except while standing still. I am living proof that the program is well worth the money--I mean think of it--86 y/o; SHOULD have had enough PT knowledge to cure myself, but no; SIX (age-related) problems well-defined on MRI; and yet, I could not find pain relief until I started doing the CBT program. So, my advice is: skip the next 10 lattes, and use that money to cure your back pain--do the CBT program !!

This program is unconventional and helpful
This program is unconventional and makes so much sense. Its not your typical exercises for back pain. Just learning to breathe into my back was wonderful. Thank you for this program.

Try Core Balance Training
I needed a gentle balanced and educational program that I could do at my own pace. The support from CBT is amazing and the live chats allows you to connect with other members. Dr Ryan Peeble is real, he had battled back pain for 10 years so he knows what you are going through. He doesn’t offer you a timeline as it is up to you how fast you progress and prepared to dedicate 20 minutes a day to this and walk like he suggests. Nothing crazy about this program, just honest guidance.

Peebles understands the back and how to help people with pain!
Peebles really understands the interactions between muscle groups and back pain. He's also very good at breaking down a rehabilitation routine into digestible bites and then building them up into a effective and repeatable routine. In addition the online support for questions is just great. I came in without hope and move ahead with vast improvement and hope for continued improvement.
