Courses Followed: Student of the Precision Movement Academy
Have suffered for years from a lower back prolapsed/degenerative disc. Resulted in lower back stiffness and muscle spasms, some of which would completely incapacitate me where I had to lie on my back for a couple of days until it slowly released. I then felt nervous about getting back into exercises. I would protect my back which I think in turn reduced my natural/correct mobility.
Despite previous physiotherapy and Pilates; I was amazed at how effective your Hip flexibility program was in reducing the tightness and pain in my lower back. It was like a miracle. Before that, I had assumed that my tightness /reduced mobility was something I would just have to accept and live with. Upon recognizing and understanding Eric’s theory and movements/techniques I was keen to do and learn more about your programs. Although I’ll never have a 21 yr old lower spine again, I am continuing to go from strength to strength with more flexibility/mobility. I can now more confidently flex my spine with less worry of it going into a spasm. I generally feel far less stiff in that area, even first thing in the morning when I get up. It’s a great feeling again.
Prior to Eric’s program (as stated above) I had tried lower back and hip passive stretches which on occasions gave short term pain relief, but did not improve my range of movement. Before your programs, I wasn’t aware of the correlation with my lack of Hip mobility.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of the exercises/techniques but particularly the seated butterfly reach, side kicks, 90 90 Bear Sit, deep wall squats & the stairs/ get up hacks were great.
