Back improved. I learned better ways to improve the support of my core and that improved my confidence in avoiding more back pain issues. My overall strength is continuing to improve as well.

I have successfully completed the program and will now continue to use this knowledge for the rest of my life. I started the CBT program at the age of 78 and I will turn 79 next month. I have suffered from lower back pain since I was 25, and after these three months of practicing with your program, it has completely disappeared. Thank you very much, Dr. Ryan. What you do is fantastic. Hugo (from Belgium)

I had never received such detailed instruction about how to feel my inner core muscles, rectify pelvic tilt, or walk properly. Since I've always had deformed feet, I just assumed that I had to endure pain and didn't realize how much damage it was doing do the rest of my body. The community and staff support is highly beneficial for many people. I know it's expensive, but it's worth a try if you want to change your life.

CBT does a great job of teaching the progression of exercises needed to reduce or eliminate pain. The daily email was well organized and makes it easy to stay on track. After 4 months my years of SI Joint pain is 0-2. As I finish the program the only thing I would like to see is an option to pay for an affordable yearly membership for viewing videos only. I did not need the group calls or forums, I just used the videos.

Everything made sense, and was explained so clearly. I felt supported and encouraged the whole time! The team has a very positive and reassuring way that helped me get through to the other side of my si joint pain.

I felt accepted in a community that understands what I'm going through with my chronic pain. The process was relaxed and pressure-free, with gentle reminders. I could follow along at my own pace. English isn't my first language (I'm using Google Translate to write this). Even so, I was able to follow the instructions and understand the explanations.

The exercise regimen is very well thought out and will provide a solid foundation of understanding and allow each person to build strength at their own pace. However, access to critical information specific to an individuals needs is not intuitive to find and not organized in an orderly fashion. The weekly Q&A sessions are nice but I needed access to Dr. Ryan one on one that is not an option. I do believe that this program will help a large majority of people but folks such as myself with a different type issue are left wondering through the program, Good luck!

this program fixed my back. my body worker referred me to another program to fine tune which core muscles I was targeting. other than that, I just followed the program in order and now my back is great again. now I just do the maintenance exercises 15 minutes twice a week or so.

One of the concepts that sold me on CBT is that the program is done everyday and can be implemented throughout the day. Although I did not have significant back pain before starting the program I often felt a lot of back tightness and fatigue when standing for long periods of time or walking long distances. Much of this was due to an anterior tilt, some stenosis, and a weak core. Dr Ryan’s program has helped me to connect my core muscles which flattens my back and significantly decreases the amount of stress I was placing on my back. . Honestly, when I keep my core connection and breathe into my lower back I can immediately feel my spine decompress thereby allowing me to sustain activities. As a side note, for anyone who has taken Pilates or yoga classes, the first few weeks may seem a bit slow but hang in there. Dr Ryan’s approach is very methodical as he builds upon previous lessons. As you get further into the program you will see why he ( and you) spent the time in the early sessions focusing on the foundational skills. I would strongly encourage anyone who has suffered from back pain to give this program a try.

It’s been three years since I did a trust pilot review for core balance training. It has kept my back and pelvis stable, cured neck related headaches that I’ve had all my life, and kept me pain-free for three years. I haven’t been back to the Chiropractor since. I’ve been going at least monthly.since I was 20. And I’m now 67. I’m also back to running and doing everything I love. After two years of physical therapy and Chiropractic and nothing working to get me out of SI joint pain and pain down to my numb ankle whenever I walked. I would say you’re crazy if you don’t try this first before you go for surgery. I have another friend who was in the emergency room with horrid pain and she is now pain-free for several years. All for 15 minutes a day for three months and now I’m on the maintenance which is about five days a week 10 minutes a day. It’s worth it. And my posture which I’ve struggled with since I was 14 years old, is now so much improved. Just do it!

Dr. Ryan does a great job explaining not only the exercises but the anatomy of the back and what might be contributing to lower back pain. As someone who’s lived it, he elicits trust and confidence. The program is incremental and works for all levels of fitness. I would recommend CBT for anyone who is committed to feeling stronger!

I'm currently looking at a photograph of me climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon- my profile picture- it's perhaps the most emotional photo of my life. It represents a promise fulfilled, a death of myself and rebirth to something new. At age 28, in 2023, I sustained a traumatic injury to my right SI joint that I never should have recovered from. I fell 4 feet straight down onto a fin of rock- directly into the middle of my SI joint ligaments. I still do not know what exactly occurred from that injury on a biological level. A day after, I had foot surgery on my right foot for a separate issue, and thus began 2.5 years of immense disability, suffering, pain, and personal loss as I struggled with a severely sprained/torn SI joint and an atrophied right foot (in addition to 1.5 years of posterior tibial tendonitis in my weak right foot and then my left leg/foot for compensations). My injury was not only traumatic but paired with unique foot issues from the surgery, in addition to the issues that arise when a severe injury remains non-weight bearing for 3-4 months. I literally could not walk, sit, stand, lay down, etc. for nearly 2 years. I truly had never experienced such devasting and incredible pain physically, mentally, spiritually. I lost everything in my life, including my beloved partner at the end as he suffered for my loss & cared for me exclusively. I don't know if he ever knew I watched him live my suffering before he left. He truly saved my life. I never told him. He was the rock of this miracle. I walked through the valley of death, climbed out the other side. I had no idea what had happened to my SI joint until 6 months later when I found Core Balance Training on youtube. Dr. Ryan was the only individual online talking sense about sacrums and SI joints! Long story short, I discovered that Dr. Ryan and his program are the missing link in western culture/medicine/PT regarding SI joint health and rehab, and how a healthy core should be connected to the entire body's ecosystem. I truly believe this program was an answer to my prayer and God is using Dr. Ryan and Core Balance Training to help hundreds of people who are struggling with all kinds of back pain for every context. Core Balance has been *the only program, the only team, the only life-long philosophy and practice* that addresses whole body muscle imbalances and helps individuals develop the necessary bodymind-core-connection for a healthy back. I might never have recovered if I had not received this kind of help! It was not just Dr. Ryan’s personalized encouragement and help, and the CBT team’s relentless encouragement and responses, but the message and foundation behind their work that allowed me to develop a personalized rewiring and understanding of my body and how I could foster an environment to help it heal. It gave me the building blocks to fight for my recovery, something only I could do but only if I understood what was going on and how I could diagnose what my body was experiencing and telling me. I suffered and endured for so long. Somehow along the way things began to balance out as I committed to the CBT program solely. It was “too slow,” it was painful, it was aggravating, it was nonlinear, it took all my blood, sweat, tears, BUT it left me with the best outcome: Lifelong recovery from pain and an injury that destroyed my life. Eventually I climbed the mountain. There was no magic “aha” moment, I’m better. It was a *gradual progression* that took months and years, but with LIFELONG results and assurance of my recovery. I recovered from an injury that should not have been recoverable, by the grace of God and the help of CBT. I look at this photo now- 31- and I simply cannot believe what I have survived. It has reignited my spirit, despite my losses. This photo of me climbing in LCC again means more than I can articulate with words. I recall an evening I listened to an hour-long message from Dr. Ryan, limping along a trail in my favorite canyon I used

It's a genuine rehabilitation program which addresses the root causes of back pain and core instability. I highly recommend it. The CBT team is always there to answer questions, the student hub is dynamic and well managed and the Wednesday Live sessions is generous with answers and perspective. It's worth the investment.

This is genuine help for the rest of your life - the answer is in me and what an amazing gift it has been to learn about this. the instruction is teaching in a way that you can comprehend and if you have a question they are quick to respond with explanation and encouragement. it's unlike anything I've found in seeking help with my back pain and my quality of life is immeasurably better because of CBT!

9The program has been a life saver. It has supported me in re-training how to move healthily and in respect of my body's natural ways of being; it has re-shaped my whole outlook on life's priorities and on how to live in and with my body. I am forever grateful to the CBT team and program. I highly reccomend this program to anyone wanting to heal from back pain and wanting to establish a healthy and centred relationship with moving for health and ongoing deep wellbeing.

Dr. Ryan’s personal experience was very similar to my own. I was really scared of movement and I felt like in his lessons he understood. I also really benefited from the Q&A’s.
