The CBT Program is 100% the best there is for lower back pain, and for the shape of my body.

This program really helped me understand the connection to the core more than any other research or physical therapy I have done. I wasn’t getting a true core bracing grasp before and I really needed this following back surgery and trying to get back to a regular weight training program. I needed to be able to learn the safest way to do what I enjoy, which is golfing and lifting. I am so glad I took a chance on this program. It is perfect for those who need help like I did. I suffered from siatica for a better part of a year and the surgery I chose helped relieve that pain. This program has helped me understand how I can be safe so I don’t continue my bad habits of my first 50 years of life.

Ryan very knowledgeable and explains things clearly. The program was easy to follow and built upon itself in a gradual manner. My SI pain is mostly gone and because of the incremental nature of the program, the exercises have been ingrained in everyday life without me thinking about it.

Spot on help for those willing to put in consistent and very doable effort to get better. Well thought through. Excellent!

Ryan's training has helped me recover from a back injury from a fall. I had been gradually improving, doing exercises. This helped me to better strengthen and balance core muscles, slowing down and using deeper core muscles. So many programs instruct to do so many reps and movements I was not capable of, this approach was do-able! Thank you!

I love the program, love the support, and am completely impressed with all the information Dr. Peebles makes available in his course and in his weekly livestream. I don’t have pain, but I do have pronounced hip imbalances and pelvic tilt. I’ve tried all my life to change this with no success. This is the only program that has had an effect. The problem now is me—getting myself to do the basics routinely for long enough to bring about the “innate” change in my posture.

For the past 10 years, I have gotten regular chiropractic and massage treatments and they did help in keeping me going. But of course, that gets quite expensive. Two years ago I moved to a deeply rural community. One of the things I was very concerned about was how I would find someone to help manage my chronic tight back muscles. And even if I did find someone, we are retired now and don't have a regular income anymore. Bye-Bye spending money. I did find a massage therapist, but she recently relocated; leaving me to wonder how to address this issue. Shortly thereafter, I happened across a short video by Dr. Peebles on Instagram and listened to it. The more I listened, the more I felt like this was worth pursuing. We have a large garden and landscape to manage ourselves, and every morning I would wake up and be a little afraid to move too much until I stretched and did a little bit of yoga. That first trial week of the program, I felt nearly immediate relief. Enough to make me sign up. I would say the percentage of improvement in my back pain after three months is 60%. But I know the more I do these strengthening exercises and move with my core engaged, the closer that is going to be to 100% I went through the program rather quickly, but I have made good notes and intend to continue to improve. The email reminders were very helpful. It's the first thing I did each morning. I'm usually up before everyone else and I would just open my email, do the exercise for the day and then keep it in mind as I went about my activities. Most evenings, I would do them again right before bedtime. Other that the obvious relief of not being in as much pain, the main benefits I value are threefold. #1 I feel that the detailed and intelligent way that Dr. Peebles presented the information is key. His instruction really helped me to understand how the body works and why there is a problem in the first place and what could be done about it. I feel like understanding the "why" is an essential part of the learning process. It wasn't just a demonstration of an exercise or a move and then just telling a student to just go do it. I loved how personal it was to be able to ask questions and get answers that were clear and detailed. Bravo on the customer service!!! #2 In the past, every time I would have to bend down and get something, I would analyze if it was really worth the trouble of doing it. After the program, though I'm still not excited about bending or squatting to get something, I no longer have to worry about whether or not I'm going to hurt myself doing it. I just go through the instruction that I've drilled into my head and do it and it actually feels good and strengthening. That's a pretty big deal. #3 I will probably get a massage now and then, as I still find them beneficial and relaxing. But now I don't feel dependent on them. By completing this program, I now have the knowledge in my wheelhouse to help myself when I have a setback, and a set of maintenance exercises that I know are safe and beneficial. This last two weeks, I helped my daughter with a new baby, slept in a bed that was not my own, and spent long hours, cooking and cleaning. Not unexpectedly, my lower back is giving me a bit of trouble. But I'm not panicked about it because I know how to help myself. Now I'm home, and this morning when I got up and felt a twinge that in the past could've given me trouble all day, all I did was the perfect bridge, a plank, the stretch that's like a child's pose, and relaxing for five minutes over a medicine ball like I saw on one of the videos. I had a very comfortable day and went for my daily walk, (as I have done for years) I will repeat that process (minus the walk) before I go to bed and fully expect that to help. What a relief to not have to panic, and be able to have confidence that I can help myself. Our bodies are amazing. I love that. I will recommend your program whenever I can and wish your business all the best. Sincerely, Tawny Kemp

I appreciate how Dr. Pebbles has been there with his own journey of back pain and is able to communicate well a slow and steady process of just how to get out of back pain that gets you stronger regardless of where you are at. I liked that these are not just exercises you do, but mostly foundational movements and patterns you learn that can serve you well for the rest of your life! I learned so much about how to properly engage my core and protect my spine. These things had not been on my radar before and it was keeping me very stuck in back pain. Now I have tools and can navigate flare ups much better, I also know these are skills that become even more important as I age! I also appreciated the stellar customer service and support! I always got a detailed and thoughtful reply to my questions via email or the student hub from either Dr. Peoples or his staff, so it was a very personalized and encouraging experience. Top notch!! I highly recommend this program if you have back or sacroiliac joint pain, it’s very valuable information!
