I started this course after months of doctors, X-rays, exercises, etc for hip, back and sciata pain with temporary short-term relief. Four days of The Big 3 and I'm amazed at the improvements. I saw subtle improvement end of day 1, definite improvement on day 2, blew it on day 3 but I know what I didn't do, back at it on day 4 and feeling hopeful about getting to the point of no pain through the use of these exercises. Thank you , Mark!

I enjoyed Mark as an instructor, he keeps your interest and is very knowledgeable. He is amazing! I actually had back pain when I started this course and every technique that he taught helped my back pain to heal. I have purchased several of his courses and I am super excited to start the next one. Thank you Mark for sharing your knowledge and experience.

I have learnt a lot, with my own kinked back from birth and bad posture, on top of that I was in a terrible vehicle accident 25 years ago with my baby. I hurt my back and she got brain damage, I was lucky, but I need my back, she will be my baby for the rest of her life. These exercises help a lot, thank you.
By Greet Vermeylen on 3/20/2020
It's a good course, Mark is a great teacher. I was expecting it to be a bit more elaborate, but maybe I'm just spoiled, having taken some other of Marks courses that in my opinion offer more value for money.

I have struggled with lower back pain for years. Loosing weight and exercising helped, and went to fysio therapy, but I still were only able to sleep 7 hours before waking up from my back pain. After taking this course and following the instructions here for only a week, the pain is almost gone. Great course, thanks Mark!

This course covers only few basic things. On top of that, teacher is very unresponsive and don't care about answering student questions or confusions which arises after listening to his lectures. I even suggested him that this course should include some other things, but i kept waiting and never received any reply. Very disappointed.
By John Castilleja on 6/14/2018
I think the microtrauma concept is what helped the most. Understanding how I was doing damage every day in little increments was key. I already knew most of the exercises he suggested. One that was new was putting hips off center. I would have liked to see other strengthening exercises though
By Sabine Hansen on 2/1/2018
Der Kurs bietet eine gute und fundierte Basis, ist gut erklärt, gut vorgemacht und weist auf Gefahren und Probleme hin, die entstehen können und wie sie beseitigt werden können. Gute Grundlage, auf der man aufbauen kann. Der Kursleiter macht einen sehr kompetenten, klar strukturierten, freundlichen Eindruck. Weiter so.
By Theresa Johnson on 5/3/2015
Mark does a great job of explaining what he wants you to do in the course and it is easy to do the exercises. I am hopeful that doing these exercises will help me. I will try to report back on how they helped me. I do feel that this is really going to help and a few times a day for a few mins seems quite doable.
By Tracie Toy on 10/17/2014
I took this course with a terribly sore back. I have had numerous injuries over the years and even had a procedure about 8 years ago that gave some relief. The pain had returned in force over the past few months due to a recent injury. I began doing the exercises just about 4 days ago and have had improvement. I am actually sleeping through the night again. I highly recommend this course if you are dealing with back pain or even if you just want to learn how to keep your spine pain free. Thank you Mark Perren-Jones for making this course!
