TESTIMONIALS

“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!”

“I call Andy a miracle worker. I suffered with chronic back pain for four years and tried everything: medication, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, yoga. Nothing worked.

Remarkably, just by stopping the stretches I’d been doing for years, I experienced immediate relief.

Andy’s thorough approach and easy-to-follow program have made a huge difference. I now feel empowered, in control of my pain, and hopeful about the future. I understand my triggers and how to work around them.

Although there’s still a road ahead, I finally see a silver lining. I fully recommend working with Andy.”

“After a year living with a back injury and consulting several specialists, I was losing hope. Then I discovered Stuart McGill and found Andy through the list of certified practitioners.

After a complete assessment and sound advice, I began rehabilitation. I quickly regained movements I hadn’t been able to do and my pain gradually disappeared, despite severe flare-ups.

For context: I went from writhing in pain while sneezing to swinging a 32 kg kettlebell without pain, progressing safely and effectively.

If you want to put an end to your back problems or return to fitness sustainably, I highly recommend Andy.”

“For several months I suffered from back and leg pain that made it impossible to sit or lie down without constantly shifting positions. Skeptical at first, I tried Andy’s approach of targeted postural exercises and reminders on proper movement.

Through patient, detailed sessions, Andy taught me how to move correctly and avoid harmful habits. Within weeks my back pain completely vanished.

His expertise and professionalism are unparalleled. I highly recommend his approach to anyone suffering from similar issues.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for freeing me from pain!”

“After months of back pain and trying massages, stretching, yoga, and physiotherapy that only worsened my symptoms, I found Andy.

We began with a thorough 3-hour analysis via Zoom. I was surprised how detailed and effective it was online. Andy quickly identified pain-causing movements and showed me how to modify them.

I received a written summary and daily exercises, which he updates every couple of weeks. The pain improved quickly and within weeks I was almost always pain-free.

Thank you for your patience and dedication, Andy. This money is well spent for the sake of a pain-free life.”

“I cannot recommend Andy highly enough! Despite being only 24, I suffered from poor posture, hours at the computer, and incorrect gym form—all of which led to a severe herniated disc.

After costly doctor visits, scans, and physical therapy with no relief, I turned to Andy. His knowledge and tailored approach helped me make a full recovery and safely resume resistance training. Andy’s support was truly priceless.

If you’re struggling with back pain, don’t hesitate to contact Andy—he genuinely is a miracle worker. Since my recovery, I have confidently referred several friends dealing with debilitating back pain to Andy.”

“I contacted Andy for the Low Back Pain Rehab Program in January 2024. Two years earlier I had injured my back (herniated disc), which led to chronic pain and fear of training again.

I came across Dr. Stuart McGill’s book, Back Mechanic, which helped, but I wanted personalized coaching. Andy’s at-home program included daily training, face-to-face sessions, and online follow-ups. He listened carefully and progressed my program safely.

Having recently completed it, I am now free of back pain, with greater core strength and resilience. I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you, Andy!”

“Andy was absolutely excellent. I’ve had back issues for years, and I’ve never felt better than after the program he arranged.

He showed me what I should do and also eliminated exercises I thought were helping but were actually harming me.

I cannot recommend him enough — super professional, accommodating, and with a personal approach!”

“After herniating a disc in 2014, I tried many solutions—physios, acupuncture, other specialists—but nothing helped.

I started working with Andy 18 months ago and have now been pain-free for more than a year.

Training with Andy is the best investment I’ve made in my health. I definitely recommend working with him.”

“I never thought working with a coach would make such a difference. For the first time in almost seven years I am pain-free and confident I’m doing the right workout.

Andy has tremendous knowledge of the spine and human body. I always thought I could do it myself, but he showed me the subtle mistakes that kept causing my disc bulges to flare up.

Thank you Andy for helping me out!”

“I had been suffering from sciatica for two years. Despite seeing osteopaths and trying painkillers and exercises, I never managed to get rid of it permanently.

After working with Andy, not only did my sciatica disappear, but two years later it has never come back—even through pregnancy and after having a baby.”

“So glad I found The Back Coach. I struggled with back pain for years, including a herniated disc and pinched nerve.

After just a few weeks with Andy I made dramatic improvements. Six months later, I have virtually no pain and my core is stronger than it has been in years.

THANK YOU Andy!”

“Andy has worked a literal miracle on my back. Before, I had almost constant pain; now I hardly have any. His practical approach to strengthening, stretching, and movement comes from real experience and knowledge.

My general strength and fitness have also improved — I can run pain-free again. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”

“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%.”

“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.”

“I was looking for a conservative way to manage lower back pain caused by a herniated disc. I found Andy through Instagram and began with a 3-hour assessment.

He created an 8-week program and met with me in person every two weeks to monitor progress and make changes. After following the program, my pain is now close to zero, my core is stronger, and my mobility has improved.

Andy also taught me subtle daily techniques — like how to pick things up or sit and stand without pain.

A true professional and expert in his field. Highly recommended.”

“I was in severe pain after a flare-up from a herniated disc. Andy helped me understand what was wrong and how to recover. He showed me how to move correctly in daily life, guided me through an extensive movement test and history, and gave me exercises to build endurance.

Even when I had setbacks, he helped me get back on track and understand why they happened. Very responsive and kind to work with. Thanks Andy!”

“I injured my back 6 years ago and have been dealing with chronic pain ever since. My case became complex and discouraging, but working with Andy has brought me back confidence and hope.

He has the skills I needed most: patience, understanding, and dedication. Chronic pain goes beyond the physical — it creates psychological insecurity — and Andy addressed both.

He is knowledgeable, notices subtle details that others miss, and prescribes the right exercises to improve not only my back but my overall condition.

Thank you very much, Andy.”

“After years of searching, Andy, The Back Coach has been the answer to my rehabilitation from a back injury. It’s a delight working with him.”

“My back has been pain-free! Keeping up with daily walks, workouts, and back hygiene is ingrained now.

Thanks for your help through this journey, it really helped to have someone who understood the problem - something that other physios I worked with lacked.

It certainly gave me confidence in knowing what movements and exercises are good/not good for me.'"

“I’m very happy with the training I do with Andy. I’m now completely pain-free.”

“I worked with Andy on an old disc injury that had flared up. He introduced me to Stuart McGill’s methods and guided me through the techniques that worked for me.

Thanks to his instruction, my back is in great shape and I know how to prevent injury going forward.”

“After several disc bulge flare-ups in 2024, I found Andy while searching for Stuart McGill practitioners in Dubai. I’ve just completed a 9-week course with him and am very satisfied with my progress.

We began with a thorough assessment, then designed a program to get me moving again and rebuild core strength. As I improved, Andy added more exercises to build resilience.

His attention to detail and focus on proper form helped minimize the risk of further flare-ups.”

“I’ve worked with Andy several times over the years. He first helped me recover strength and flexibility after shoulder surgery. More recently, he helped me overcome back pain from too much sitting.

Andy provides daily workouts, follow-up calls, and tailored plans to your needs. He’s a great listener and really understands the client. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve trained with Andy for over 10 years. He is empathetic, supportive, and adapts programs to my evolving goals. I’ve gained strength, defeated persistent low back pain, and achieved many fitness goals. I recommend Andy to anyone looking to focus positively on their health and well-being.”

“Andy is a great coach who made a huge difference in my life. I thank him for that and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their well-being.”

“Andy’s work goes far beyond that of a traditional coach. He is a true professional with an eye for detail. I’m very happy to have met him.”
