Tom
A good place to start
After completing the program, I cannot say that I have improved significantly. However, this program has done a great job of including very relevant non-invasive tools for recovery, such as mindfulness techniques and a decent array of exercises and stretches. I originally found this course through a YouTube video where it seemed like it was focused on body movements for recovery, and while there is plenty of that, there is a huge emphasis on mental health (mostly stress and anxiety) and its impact on the body and your pain. Their website does a better job of explaining what to expect from the course as a whole. I wouldn’t recommend this program for those exclusively looking for a motion based recovery regimen or for those who do not agree with the belief that improving your mental health can help with your pain (I don’t fall into the latter category, but, I know there are folks out there that do). What this program does well is bring together helpful techniques into one place, though I wish there were more in-depth explanations as to why some practices are beneficial. The course has a lot to offer, and though it's not a silver bullet, it certainly has the potential to help with those afflicted with pelvic pain. Overall, I would say that this is a good starting point for those who want a thoughtfully crafted and organized routine to help them on their recovery. Lastly. Your health is ultimately your responsibility, so do be sure to go seek medical care (if you are fortunate to be able to) and properly investigate your ailment. As of writing this review the cost of the program is advertised around $700 on the website; that is a pretty penny in this economy. If you have the means to responsibly invest, it certainly would not hurt to give this program a chance, but try to keep reasonable expectations. Good luck to those still suffering, hang in there, and keep hope.

Hi Tom, Thanks for taking time out to share your words with others. I am glad that the program was a good starting point for you, with a wide range of tools. One important aspect to the updated version of the program is the coaching interaction, which I've found to be exceedingly helpful. Like you mentioned, it can be difficult to understand why certain practices or approaches are even utilized, and we cannot see our own blindspots, which is why I offer this type of coaching with the program—so that it goes way beyond a static course. I am most concerned about your personal situation though, as it seems that you have hit a standstill. This does happen, even with a path and a plan. I'd like to offer you a 1:1 call, so that we can talk through what is going on right now, and I will do what I can to point out any blindspots. I just had a client attend a retreat, even after doing much of the online program, he was wable to go beyond where he had before. These live interactions can be very useful (even if over a video call). Please send a message to the Contact page on our website addressing me about this, so that we can set it up. I would contact you, but it just says "Tom," on this review, and we have had multiple clients with that name. Looking forward to helping you cross the chasm, Michael
