At an age where you are not taken serious.<\/p>\n<p>I was a patient in physical therapy 6 different times.<\/p>\n<p>I went to college to study Exercise Science trying to find the answers to my OWN injuries.<\/p>\n<p>I became a personal trainer in 2016, trying to find the answers.<\/p>\n<p>I started WORKING at a physical therapy clinic, trying to find the answers.<\/p>\n<p>After years of being BOTH a patient and an emerging practitioner, I gave it up.<\/p>\n<p>I dropped out of school in my last year. I left my trainer job at the gym. I let all my certifications expire. I understood that after years of searching, the real answers were not here.<\/p>\n<p>I went rogue and looked elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>I packed up my 2007 Toyota Corolla, and left my entire life in NYC.<\/p>\n<p>With the only goal of:<\/p>\n<p>Finding ANYONE who was bridging this gap on where the industry is failing us. The only person I had seen online making a dent, was Knees Over Toes Guy. Even though he never had a back injury, his approach to reversing out chronic knee pain was enough of a trail for me.<\/p>\n<p>Without invite, I drove 24 hours straight across the country to find him. I showed up to his gym as a stranger, with no known name &amp; only 900 followers. I told him my life story, my goal for the olympics, and my bigger mission to change the industry. I offered to clean the bathrooms just to be able to train at the gym and learn.<\/p>\n<p>He gave me a job.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the next 3 months secretly living in my car, eating $1 menu McDonalds food, and doing my job on Starbucks wifi every morning. Still, I was in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>This marked a complete pivot in my life.<\/p>\n<p>After a year in FL, I was Director of Equipment at the company. I had been able to take his knee principles and help them apply it for the low back. I began connecting with some of you online and created low back programs that were ACTUALLY addressing the real issues &amp; getting real results.<\/p>\n<p>My low back became my greatest strength, and life just felt perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Until I started to realize a few things:<\/p>\n<p>1.) The Back Pain Epidemic was FAR larger than I thought. Young and old, rates of back pain were still going up.<\/p>\n<p>2.) The Internet still had NO real solutions, by someone who ACTUALLY overcame back issues themself. Every video on Youtube was still clickbait, quick &#8220;band-aid&#8221; fixes, or was a means to sell some BS affiliate product.<\/p>\n<p>And most bothersome for me:<\/p>\n<p>3.) It took me quitting my entire formal education, promising career and go be a homeless but driven lunatic to find real answers.<\/p>\n<p>So while it&#8217;s great that I am out of my back hell&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>99.99% of people just have no shot at stumbling upon this information, especially when the entire back rehab space is flooded with, put plainly, TRASH.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I restarted my life again in NYC, and doubled down as being &#8220;Low Back Ability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I make these videos because I have to.<\/p>\n<p>I truly believe that I don&#8217;t, nobody else will. Not for a long while at least. And even if the principles do get taught, the teacher won&#8217;t have the scars and empathy from going through it themselves&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To actually resonate and deeply reach the low back sufferer.<\/p>\n<p>So they will monetize you, gate-keep the &#8220;secrets&#8221;, or just be unrelatable.<\/p>\n<p>Shit has to change. My gratitude for finally solving my shit, is what keeps me focused. Because to be honest, I don&#8217;t care for the fitness influencer space. I don&#8217;t like how most business is done. I don&#8217;t care for tricking people into watching with the right clickbait title and thumbnails.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d rather take my pain-free body and go make the olympics for running.<\/p>\n<p>Which I will, but only after we get textbooks to change.<\/p>\n<p>Physical therapy protocols will change, the research on the spine will evolve, people will get their lives back.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I&#8217;m making these videos.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s my story. I would love to hear yours. I will thoroughly be in the comment section for this video. Please share what resonates and ask any question needed.<\/p>\n<p>This mission of changing this societal back problem, will take all of us.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful for your help &amp; support.<\/p>\n<p>Rooting for you. \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83e\ude79<\/p>\n<p>Brendan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full program at: https:\/\/lowbackability.com I want to be honest about why I made this video&#8230;
