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.

This is an expert-guided, encouraging, realistic and universally applicable program. The approach is founded in science and taught in a well-designed, adult education format. I have benefited from this program with greatly decreased back and leg pain, improved core and hip strength and flexibility and overall fitness and mental well-being. I found the course to build concepts that, at first, I found a little slow but now see the intent behind the pace of the program. Now, four months in, the program has become 20-30 minutes to start my day.

Simply the best!
I was a little leary about trying an online class like this but I am so glad I did! I had had been suffering with lower back pain for 2 years. I had been to PT, 3 different chiropractors, massage therapy and had SI injections and nothing except the injections worked but I knew that was temporary and I needed a permenant fix. Well, this is fixing it. I am probably 85% pain free. I know I just need to keep up the exercises and I will continue to improve the rest of the way. The videos were so easy to follow. Some of the movements took me a few days to figure out the proper way to move. I didn't rush it like Dr. Ryan suggested and that really helped to not hurt myself. I had a couple of set backs but I recovered quickly. I would recommend this class to anyone who is having chronic back pain. It works! Thank you so much Core Balance Training!

Finally, an ad that is truthful!
This was by far the best thing I ever purchased from watching an ad on social media! This program teaches us to re-connect with our deep core muscles, and keep them activated, relieving low back pain from years of bad posture, sitting too much, etc. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's not a quick fix, but I think the lessons I've learned and the habits I developed will greatly improve my quality of life, going forward. You do need to commit to doing the work - if you do, you'll be glad you did!

CBT is a game changer
CBT was a game changer for my chronic on again off again on again back pain due to a slipped disc. Recommend 110%. The program is built intelligently, easy to follow and most importantly delivers. I’m on the right path now and so happy with the program. Thank you.

Absolutely the Real Deal – Life-Changing Program
I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone dealing with mid and low back pain, pelvic and sacroiliac dysfunction, bilateral asymmetry and/or spinal degeneration or any kind—all of which I personally struggle with. I just completed the $300 online program over the course of three months and experienced significantly more success than I did with a different $1,000, twelve-month program I completed last year.
As the name suggests, this program focuses on awakening, strengthening, and retraining core muscles through guided video exercises. Unlike traditional physical therapy, which often centers around post-injury rehabilitation, these exercises are specifically designed to address complex musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The program goes a step further by teaching you how to actively engage those core muscles in everyday movements, helping to prevent strain, break compensatory patterns, and avoid reinjury—ultimately reducing the progression of spinal degeneration and help break free from the pain cycle.
The results have been remarkable. I can now sit comfortably on the couch in the evenings, wash dishes without triggering back spasms, and even drive for three hours without major blow back from my body.
Equally impressive is the level of customer service. It's clear that the values of care and support are embedded throughout the organization. Dr. Ryan Peebles, in particular, stands out—not only for the thoughtful, unhurried responses he provides during his weekly live YouTube sessions, but also for the deep competence and dedication he brings to every interaction.
I’m continuing my journey with the skills gained through this program with a renewed sense of possibility for improving my quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Peebles!
