Core Balance Assessment

Let's get started* This field is required.First, tell us who we're speaking with today?

First Name

Dr. Ryan Peebles, DPT

Great to meet you, {firstname}

Everyone’s back pain journey is unique. Let’s start with a few questions to find out whether you’re a good fit for Core Balance Training.

How long have you had low back pain?

0-12 months

1-5 years

5+ years

20+ years

What's your age?* This field is required.

Age

Have you had invasive back surgery in the last 6 weeks, or spinal fusion surgery in the last 3 months? Minimally invasive back surgery, such as microdiscectomy does not count.

YESNO

You should wait on doing this program...

While Core Balance Training will not cause any harm to your spine, there are certain "contraindications" which must be followed after invasive back surgery. Since you answered yes to the previous question, we recommend that you wait at least 6 weeks after your surgery before enrolling in the CBT Program (3 months if you've had spinal fusion surgery).

That said, we genuinely believe CBT is the most important thing you can do to improve your surgery outcome. But wait until you're ready, because we do have to follow the rules...

Feel free to finish the assessment anyways.

A growing number of healthcare professionals are referring Core Balance Training. Were you referred to us by your doctor, physical therapist or other healthcare professional?

YESNO

That's okay!

While you don’t need a referral to do Core Balance Training, it's important to not self diagnose. Lower back pain is associated with many conditions...

Spinal Stenosis

Herniated or Bulging Disc(s)

Degenerative Disc Disease

Sciatica or other referred pain

Scoliosis

SI joint pain

recent back surgery (post-op)

slipped vertebrae (Spondylolisthesis)

poor posture (lordosis, pelvic tilt, etc)

general or non-specific low back pain

How would you describe your pain?

dull, achy soreness or tenderness

intense or sharp, stabbing pain

unrelenting tightness, stiffness or gripping/spasm

referred leg symptoms (shooting, numbness, tingling, burning/cold or radiating pain)

Where do you feel it?Place the blocks to rate your symptoms, 10 being most intense.

How does your pain change over time?Rate your pain at each instance.

When your back flares up, how does it affect your life?

Can't sit for long periods

Can't walk or stand up straight

Guarded movement/fear of further injury

Loss of work/income

Negative mood/impact on relationships

Loss of leg or foot function

Depression/anxiety about future

Immobility/bed-bound

Improve happiness/mental health

To enjoy my social life

Improve career/professional life

Feel comfort/peace

Improve relationships/sex life

More/other alternative treatments

Why the Back Pain Industry continues to fail us...

Modern healthcare tends to be "treatment" focused, and doesn't target the underlying cause of chronic LBP.

Chronic back pain is a much deeper problem in the interconnected system of your body and mind.

In fact, more than 1000 studies have been published evaluating all types of conservative and surgical treatments for LBP, and the vast majority of treatments were not classified as beneficial.^[1]

That's because back pain treatments tend to make changes from the outside → in, and this approach is ineffective.

Let's take a look at why the underlying cause of back pain can only be reversed from the inside → out...

[1]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov /pmc/articles/PMC1479671

Low back pain occurs when...

under-active deep core (posture) muscles force surface level (movement) muscles in the body to compensate, becoming over-active and creating a "muscle imbalance".

Studies have shown that most people with low back pain have ongoing surface muscle strain^[2]. This tensing of movement muscles (outside) is a protection mechanism - it is the body's attempt to compensate for a lack of trunk muscle (inside) support.

[2]https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/back-pain/symptoms-causes/syc-20369906

CBT has an exceptionally high success rate because it teaches you how to use the spinal support muscles deep inside your core.Do you think improving these deep core muscles could help your back?

YESNO

You're right!

Active deep core muscles not only protect the spine, but also allow surface muscles to relax, resolving the muscle imbalance from the inside → out.

Core Balance Training was created because there is no other program out there focused on building the deep core-spine connection.

CBT teaches you to connect 3 major support zones around your spine. The "Core Anchors" create a strong foundation of support for your spine during movement.

Over time, this connection becomes part of all your movement, protecting your spine at all times of the day.

Why is this so significant?

When all movement becomes healthy for your spine, you don't need to rely on exercises to stay out of pain.

The activities you love keep your back pain-free and you happy, without flare-ups.

Commitment is by far the #1 factor for success. In fact, nearly every CBT student who commits to the daily routine has success...If you knew it would get you back to {imagineYourself} pain-free, would you commit 15 minutes a day to a proven system to increase the health of your back?

YESNO
