ONLINE COACHING

Low back pain rehab programs available worldwide.

WHAT YOU GET

• Free consultation (to determine if we're a good fit to work together)
• 3-hour McGill Method assessment to identify your pain triggers and design a personalised rehab plan
• Detailed written report of your assessment findings
• Personalized exercise program delivered via the True Coach app
• Continued support via the app in between sessions
• Follow-up sessions: to update your program according to your progress and troubleshoot any issues you've had. The number of sessions depends on which program you choose.

HOW ONLINE COACHING WORKS

• Basic equipment / set up: for the assessment session you'll need a laptop with a camera in a room big enough for me to see you from head to toe while both standing and lying down. In addition, you'll need: a yoga mat, a chair, a broomstick, a medium-sized towel and a small 3-5 kg weight (or bottles of water in a bag).
• Assistance: I may ask you to have someone else present to assist for about 10 minutes of the assessment session (if that's not possible, we can work around this)
• Coaching of your personalised exercise program: after I've coached you through your exercises at the end of the assessment session, I upload your program to the True Coach app. You download the app to view your (usually daily) program with videos of the exercises.
• Progress tracking: You record your progress in the app so I can keep track of how you're doing.
• In between sessions: if you have any questions you can contact me via the app. If you have any doubts about your technique you can video yourself and upload them via the app so I can check your form and comment. In the event of any unexpected setback I will adjust your program accordingly.
• Responsiveness: from Monday to Friday I will always reply within 24h (usually less).

WHO IT'S FOR

• You have persistent or recurring low back pain that has lasted at least 3 months
• You've tried local practitioners without success (physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, yoga, etc.)
• You want to get back to sport, work, or simply living without painkillers or surgery
• You're prepared to take an active role in your recovery

WHO IT'S NOT A GOOD FIT FOR

• You have red-flag symptoms (saddle anaesthesia, loss of bladder/bowel control, constant night pain, recent major trauma). You need urgent medical care, not coaching.
• You expect someone to fix you, either by 'cracking you back into place' or massaging, cupping or needling (etc.) you while you stay passive.
• You’re unwilling to change your daily movement habits or do 10-30 minutes of targeted rehab (excluding walking) most days.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

“I have had a variety of back issues for most of my adult life. At 57, despite exercising regularly, I was taking daily pain medication and physiotherapy wasn’t helping. I tried programs for back pain but suspected they were making things worse.

In the initial 3-hour session, Andy was meticulous about understanding my history and which movements caused or relieved pain. No other health care provider has taken this kind of time and attention.

His training sessions are enjoyable, varied, and effective. The app works very well, and Andy is always responsive to questions. When something isn’t working, he suggests alternatives until we find a solution.

Living in a rural area, I wasn’t sure how effective online training would be. Andy’s unique skills make it feel like we’re working in the same room.

Highly recommended!”

Anne Bennett (Canada)

“How lucky to have found Andy! For several years I suffered from lumbar back pain, which worsened after pregnancy despite physiotherapy and exercise. I was starting to despair.

Andy's program saved me—I learned to relieve my pain, move correctly, restabilize my back, and build muscle. Andy’s professional follow-up and involvement, all by video, were simple and effective.

Thank you! I recommend him 100%.”

Rosine Hudbert (France)

“I had been struggling with lower back pain (L4-L5) for almost three years. Surgery helped with leg pain but not the back pain itself.

I began Andy’s program four months ago with online sessions every two weeks. I now have days where I don’t notice my back at all and I’ve resumed ordinary activities I had stopped.

He is an extraordinary professional — always kind and willing to help. If he’s helped me this much in a few months, I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Thank you, Andy.”
