This week we have seen back pain get in the way of some players on the course of the Players Championship:
Rory is suffering and pushing through
Danny Willet had to withdraw mid-round…
Chronic back pain is a golfer’s nightmare and so many have suffered.

Have you ever injured your back, visited your chiropractor, and you talked to him for a bit and he then REFUSES to
do spinal cord manipulation?
There’s a really good reason:
The reason is at that point, you’re in too MUCH pain.
He can’t adjust you without your back biting back and injuring you further.
The muscles are trying incredibly hard to protect your spine and they’re just too tight.
The body has to relax a day or two before your chiropractor can do his best work.
And that’s why my back pain coach Ian’s program has some notoriety.
Amazingly, Ian advises you not to wait and rest first.
He says it actually works better that way.
His method involves eight simple movements done in a specific sequence.
It takes no longer than 16 minutes.
It’s not like those sheets of exercises you get from doctors.
It’s not like yoga, although there’s a lot of powerful
mind-body-spirit connection stuff going on.
If you’re in pain now, or back pain has been a persistent problem,
you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Ian’s methods not only get you out of pain, it more importantly
starts FLOODING your back with much needed nutrients.
The second thing that happens is as you get older you develop muscle imbalances.
For instance, the hip flexors are too weak, while your thighs deal with bearing the load.
Not good at all and…
Next thing you know?
Your back goes out of whack at the drop of a hat and lays you
up for days. Your muscles wound tighter than a spring.
Again, Ian’s methods unlock the back, restores balance and
brings much needed relief.
Here’s Jay’s Story
I’m a golfer. About 25 years ago, I felt a sharp and severe pain in my lower back.
After an MRI, the problem was diagnosed as a herniated disc between the L5 and L6 vertebrae.
I was told this was a very common spot for this to happen.
And that medication, some rest and possibly some physical therapy would help.
The conservative orthopedic surgeon was hesitant to operate, citing my level of pain and my ability to still get around.
The medication did help. And despite occasional flare-ups all was well until…
About 10 years ago, when I felt intense pain while doing strenuous work.
This time the MRI showed that the disc was “obliterated” and there was nerve impingement between the vertebrae.
(The doctor’s words, not mine.)
The initial sharp pain subsided. But…
I was left with a lower back which I had to be extremely careful with.
My sleep was disrupted.
I had to give up most strenuous physical activity.
My yard work was limited to what little I could do.
On several occasions, I had to miss work because of back pain.
At times the pain was so bad, I was unable to get out of the chair or get out of bed.
It made it very difficult to do routine, daily things.
I went to a physical therapist for 6-12 weeks. That didn’t seem to help much.
Worst of all, I had to give up golf.
It simply it was too painful to continue to try to play.
Now it’s understood when you play golf for a long time, many golfers develop conditions in the back.
Whether it’s in the muscles, or whether it’s a joint pain, arthritis in the spine or something like that.
The game also involves a lot of twisting, a lot of torque in the torso.
Of course, your power doesn’t come from the arms, it comes with the larger muscles in the torso and legs.
Unfortunately, I could no longer make that turn necessary to make a decent golf swing.
It simply it was too painful to continue to try to play.
No lifting, no golf, poor sleep and even standing for more than 20 minutes was painful.
Cortisone injections and oral medication helped, but that is powerful stuff.
And it has dangerous side effects and can be used only to a limited extent.
Then back in 2008, I met Ian Hart. On a whim…
I showed him my doctor’s report and MRI.
He put me on his program right away.
To my surprise, I felt improvement in just a few weeks.
I have continued with this program for 4 years and it has continued to improve.
Has my back pain totally gone?
No and it probably never will. That said…
The improvement has been significant and my quality of life has greatly improved.
Today, I am able to play golf again… at least twice a week.
My game has come back and I am enjoying it much more than I ever have.
I’m able to drive the ball further than I did 20 years ago.
And strike the ball probably better than I ever have.
Regardless of whether you have back pain or not, if you’d want to be active in golf or tennis, I think Ian’s program would help anybody’s lifestyle.
I golf, play tennis, garden and even remodel homes.
And best of all…
I now sleep much better.
In addition to my back improvement, I am now much stronger.
My doctor even commented that my lifestyle is keeping me healthy and that I’m in much better shape than most 66 year olds.
Thank you, Ian!
