I stumbled upon your information on TFL pain and FINALLY knew that was exactly what it was. I did the exercises you suggest (along with core strength for my split in my abs) and there has been such a significant improvement.

 I can actually run again and when I feel a twinge I know what to do to get things back where they need to be. I love your newsletter, and I will surely do the Hip Flexibility Solution soon when I can carve out a bit more time. I have a background in human biology, physiology and anatomy and it’s so clear you know an incredible amount about this, but more importantly, can explain it so clearly.

Thank you again, I truly appreciate you sharing your expertise and look forward to the time when I can use more of your resources.

I just want to tell you how thrilled I am with your TFL program. Honestly I can't tell you how many physiotherapists I've been to in the last 7 years.

After the spine surgery I was determined to get this sorted and thought the best bet would be U of T MacIntosh Clinic. The doc told me it was periformis syndrome and sent me to a massage therapist. Went to many others and just got so frustrated. No one ever said anything about the TFL. Don't even think I knew what that was until I found your site.

You are a rock star and please keep doing what you are doing. And if you can set up training for all the physiotherapists in Ontario and beyond that would be amazing. 🙂

I enjoyed all of it. It’s presented in a very good way. I did Upper Limb Control for a wrist that was bothering me and now there is no longer any discomfort.

Oh gosh I just appreciated the PDF format for my non-computer mind.

Thanks!

I broke my wrist a few years ago and I've been having problems every since so I decided to give the Upper Limb Control info a shot. Eric showed a lot of great techniques and details. Now that I think I've figured out exactly what's going on I will be able to manage it better.

The main reason I purchased the Lower Limb Control program is my knee pain, supposedly related to arthritic condition. Your exercises and stretches have slowed down the discomfort and now I am able to stay on my feet longer before the knee pain starts minimizing my movement. If I keep my heavy movement under eight hours and do not work more than two days in row the discomfort is minimal.

Your course on lower limb control has made a big difference in how I feel and deal with the condition. I will continue to use the course for as long as I am able to. I do not like pain killers.

I'm in my last week of the Lower Limb Control course. I purchased it due to discomfort hindering me from running and training. I love that it addresses aspects of mobility that I have neglected. Many of lunge/balance exercises were especially effective.

I have begun module one of the Spine Control program after many years of lower back pain and I am already feeling better doing the basic exercises. I think your approach and explanation of how to maintain a healthy spine is outstanding and meets a wide spread need due to many people spending much too long sitting at desks.

I just wanted to say I am noticing a huge improvement in my spine from this program. I just actually did squats for the first time and some jogging up hills yesterday, both normally finish me off for days with back pain. I probably shouldn't be squatting yet but no pain, this is weird (but in a good way). Thanks!

I did three of those exercises: Press-up, Bird-dog and Bridge. Just one set before going somewhere, even 5 or 6 reps, 10 sec hold, just to loosen up my back. It works great. I am getting up from the floor so easy after this set, like some 18 year-old gymnast! Thank you for this. It's pure magic!

Thanks for the "Behind the Head" Video. I have been using the exercise three times a day that the last three days. I can feel the difference. My upper back is not as stiff and my head can now rest on the "head rest" of my car seat. That may seem unusual, but I have never been able to do that comfortably before.

I purchased the "Shoulder Routine" from you. Just now reading the manual. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope this works. I've had upper back stiffness and pain since I was a teenager. I'm almost 60 now. Thanks again, I appreciate your desire to help me by sending me the video.

I just want to shoot you a quick email and tell you how much I love every single article you post! I have learned so much from your expertise. Your articles are always written with great explanations and detail but in a simple and uncomplicated way.

I purchased your Hip Flexibility program (about a 1 1/2 to 2-years ago), and it did wonders for me!

I know I need to get your Upper Limb Control program as well. I share your ideas with my Krav Maga students and I encourage all of them to watch your videos, and purchase your programs.

You are one of the few trainers online that I feel give sound and complete advice on improving specific areas, as well as overall health and fitness, and you do so with honesty and integrity.

I just wanted you to know that there are people out there that are truly benefiting from your expertise! I'm definitely one of them! I started your programs when we lived in Indianapolis, IN., and now in Nashville, TN.

Your program is one of the best programs I have ever used to improve my athleticism. My hips are looser than they have ever been, my core is getting a lot stronger and more flexible, and the level of pain in my hips and knees has almost totally diminished. I am expecting the level of pain to be gone completely by the end of the program.

I've had some great results using HFS and your Shoulder program. Most recently healing a teres minor tear, allowing me to press overhead again as well as planche and handstand practice with stability and control.

4 weeks into HFS and I'm see some pretty good progress but feel I still have a ways to go. I feel more balanced and can feel muscles active that have not activated before!

I'm still real tight and finding lots of spots with the foam roller and lacrosse ball in particular on the left side.

Haven't seen the chiropractor since I started and I normally go every 2 weeks. Have never had lower back issues, more so in the shoulders which feel more relaxed.

Jumped on the mountain bike yesterday and was kinda all over the trail but felt very nimble and had much more stamina throughout the ride! This routine has definitely made a difference on the trail.

Absolutely love the shoulder stuff!!! I'm going to tell my friends with shoulders about these. you truly are one of a kind. Never had any shoulder rehab exercises work as well as yours!

Have been performing the rehab exercises as per your program together with other exercises you have posted as supplementary and have to say I have seen a great deal of progress. I am almost pain-free, only on the extreme of my flexibility and back to using weights.

I am now concentrating now on your scapula retraction/protraction program and finding this is really beneficial as I was having real issues with push ups; pull ups, bench press and overhead squat snatch. I think this was my real problem been doing em wrong for years.

I want to THANK YOU for posting what I think is the most important video topic (Technique for Thoracic Kyphosis, Overhead Mobility & Scap Strength). Along with other stretching and Strengthening exercises you have promoted, I've been taking it upon myself to do active hanging from a bar AND I'VE ACHIEVED AMAZING RESULTS for my Adhesive Capsulitis!

I have about 3/4 ROM from where I used to be thanks to you brutha!!!

Keep up the great job & ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a couple of months since I started the program and it helped alleviate the immobility (and pain) that I was having in my neck and shoulders. I can't say enough good things about this program. I spent the last 12 years seeing chiropractors, Active Release practitioners, and even came very close to having fusion surgery for my cervical spine before I found out about your program, and it was only your program that gave me pain relief and better shoulder mobility that I have been striving for.

You have a fan for life!

I have used your techniques for shoulder control and scapular stability for several months now, with great results. So I was excited to try this out.

I have to say, I felt improvements after just the first time using these exercises. And I plan to continue using these methods.
