My name is Angela, and I am a 48 year old former stay-at-home mom (30 years) who is currently trying to figure out what I want to be now that I am grown up. :) Kind of midlife crisising here. My back pain is in my lower right side. I feel it most as an ache and need to move with caution in the mornings when I first get out of bed, but then it seems to go away except with unexpected movement. It is inconsistent with the movements that cause the pain, and I am able to repeat the motion without pain soon after the initial shock. I think it mostly stems from me sleeping on my stomach, so I have been trying to stretch and build up my core muscles more, which is why I signed up for this program. I am doing other options too, but was hoping to find some more tools to add to my arsenal. The biggest benefit is knowing which stretches/exercises will benefit the situation (the back pain), and I really appreciate how Joe was responsive throughout the process. I also am glad that I will have continued access to re-watch the moves should I need a reminder. Because I still sleep on my stomach most of the night, I have not been "cured" of my pain, but I do think if I stay consistent with the mobility tool kit, in addition to my other exercise program, I should be able to minimize the pain or duration of it. Joe has a great teaching style and is very responsive to feedback and questions. The exercises and stretches, if done consistently, should help you loosen up your hips and keep your low back more flexible, which will help reduce your pain.

Heather (39) after years of playing sports and stand all day jobs my low back was a hot mess. It was tight constantly, pain almost daily, barely walking for weeks at a time. I was paying a dog walker to walk my dog, just because I couldn’t. I join Joes program hoping for some relief. I enjoyed the weekly videos, and would replay to follow along as they were preformed. It’s not a difficult program, but it’s well thought out and effective to stretch and strengthen the muscles in and around your low back to receive pain. I appreciated that there was also explanation videos of WHY you do specific things and how your muscles work together effectively. I found Joe approachable and very knowledgeable. Would recommend for anyone looking for relief and a little more knowledge.
