Michelle's Story: Facing Spine Surgery
to Finding Natural Relief
I felt an opening in my back that I haven't felt in a long time. I felt stronger through my core. That radiating, burning heat pain that I was feeling seemed to dissipate a little bit and it seemed to just open up my back in general.

Michelle's Path to Recovery
Severe Pain Despite Yoga Expertise
"I was feeling very weak in my core area and I was having some radiating pain in my lower back." As a yoga instructor with anatomy knowledge, Michelle was surprised that she couldn't resolve her own back pain despite her expertise in helping others.
Multiple Surgical Recommendations
"I went to two neurosurgeons and I went to a back pain specialist and the surgeons wanted to operate on me in different places." Doctors told her she needed disc replacement and various surgeries, while one specialist even wanted to implant "something permanent" in her spine.
Failed Medical Treatments
"I've had four procedures that involved needles in my spine, epidurals in my spine, and that only gave me like a little bit of temporary relief for a couple of days, but it did not cure or really help anything. It just put a bandaid on the pain." Nothing was providing lasting relief.
Discovery of Overlooked Muscles
"I felt stronger through my core. That radiating, burning heat pain seemed to dissipate. After my second session, I noticed even more of a stretch in my lower back and more strengthening in muscles that had been weak that I think might help support my lower back." Even as a yoga professional, Michelle discovered muscles she wasn't using that made all the difference.
What Made The Difference
Despite her professional background, Michelle discovered a blind spot in her approach: "I'm a yoga instructor. I feel very knowledgeable in anatomy and how to help people that come to me that are in pain, but I was not aware of certain muscles that I was not using in my body that might help my lower back." This program helped her identify and activate specific supporting muscles that even her yoga training had overlooked.
