How can you get reliable answers to your questions about your back pain?

Would you like to:–

  • Ask for help understanding what’s happening to you?
  • Get help deciding how to tackle your problem?
  • Share your difficulties and insights with other people in similar situations?
  • Ask any question about your progress or lack of it?
  • Chat with people who actually know what you’re talking about?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

Philip PawleyPhilip Pawley has spent nearly 30 years helping people like you. You’ve probably already seen the quality of his insight into your problem. (If you haven’t then go back and read some of my many articles first).

Once you’ve read enough to know you’re on to a good thing, see how you can get even more information for free. (If you like you can also email me a direct question. (I always answer those emails with a personal answer to exactly the problem you email me about).

If you get in early, while the forum is still small (about 90 members) you will be able to stay on the very low initial subscription rate of £55.00 (about $88 USD).

That’s a full year’s access to me for the price of a single lesson. Not to mention the ability to get to know other people like you and freely share your experience with like-minded people on similar journeys to your own.

When the rate goes up (and it will go up) you will be able to stay on this rate for as long as you remain subscribed. (If you let your subscription lapse and later re-subscribe, you will have to pay the then going rate).

Clients currently having lessons will get their membership fee refunded once they have had six lessons in the current year.
