How I Reversed My Severe Low Back Pain in Only Three Weeks, without Surgery, Physical Therapy, or Pain Pills
When back pain strikes, it can ruin your life. Reaching for painkillers and going the bed rest route can be ineffective and even dangerous for your health.
Hi, I'm Morgan, and for 20 years, I've been massaging clients dealing with low back pain. But when the tables were turned, and I was the one who injured my back… it wasn't massage that healed my low back pain... instead, it was a series of highly targeted exercises!
Inspired by my experience with reversing my severe low back pain and fueled by a vibrant enthusiasm to share these exercise routines with anyone who has back pain, I began to passionately research how to quickly cure back pain at home. I learned a wealth of information.
In The Essential Lower Back Pain Exercise Guide, you'll learn about my 21-Day, Low Back Pain Relief Program that anyone can use to eliminate low back pain, reverse bad posture, and get better sleep.
You'll also learn these important concepts to help change your life.
- How to stand correctly in six moves.
- How to sit correctly in eight moves.
- A 15-minute, doctor-recommended back pain relief exercise routine.
- Six foam-rolling moves to conquer back pain.
- A 90-second tennis-ball method for low back pain relief.
- A 6-minute emergency treatment that's safe for herniated and bulging discs.
- Seven exercises to prevent future back spasms and herniated discs.
- Seven resistance-band exercises for low back pain.
- Four moves to do before you roll out of bed.
- Plus much more.
If you can make time to do a daily 15- to 30-minute back pain relief exercise routine, you'll soon be on your way to feeling good again. It's essential to feel your best to make the most of every day. Let me show you how!

The pain started as a sharp pain in my left, upper hip region, and when I went to sleep, I felt a burning sensation in my lower spine. It was a horrible beginning to my summer, even though I did have cool air for my family, as a result of my labors.
