Better Back
A Quiet Flame Company
WHO ARE WE?
My name is Chuck Johnson and I’m the founder and main instructor at BetterBack. I founded the company after a debilitating L5 spinal hernia that ground my life to a halt and stopped me dead in my tracks.
As a lifelong athlete, and martial arts instructor, I simply couldn’t believe that all of the strength, fitness and training I had could not protect me from this and I got obsessed with the question of why.
This lead me to get certified as a functional fitness trainer from IHP (the #1 core fitness training facility in the US) and certified as a lower back injury specialist from the International Fitness Professionals Association. These things, my own rehabilitation process, and years of working with others on theirs eventually let me to create Better Back. Now, at 48, I have a better and stronger back than I did at 20. And most importantly, no pain.
WHY DOES MY BACK HURT?
The fact of the matter is, 85% of back injuries are of unknown etiology. This is because most back problems don’t have one cause. This often leads people to the conclusion that they are stress-related. While this may be true or related, there are also serious reasons that most people aren’t aware of and/or often overlook.
We are here to share them with you, show you how to overcome them, and help you to get your life back on track without pain and without risky and expensive surgeries that are oftentimes ineffective at best.
WHAT DO WE DO?
STEP 1
We start with simply a chat and an assessment. Oftentimes the assessment that people get before being told that they need surgery is only 15 minutes or less. A proper assessment of the causality of back pain should look at everything from your daily habits, your work schedule, your sleep schedule, how you walk, carry things or even how you open doors and tie your shoes.
I take my time with you and listen to you. We go over everything to deep dive and troubleshoot into the real root of the problem.
STEP 2
After the assessment, I teach you the specific exercises that you need to re-restrengthen your back and core muscles to protect your spine and take the load off of it.
I train you on postural endurance, what it is, and how to maintain it. Lastly, I show you how to do it all in the comfort of your own home, in your hotel room on the go, with or without a partner, and with or without equipment.
WHAT DOES THE TRAINING LOOK LIKE?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
All in all, for most people, 2-3 hours.
We start with one session, and for a great deal of people that’s all most really need. Follow up sessions however to teach exercises progressions, and/or check and confirm proper technique, etc are also always available.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
