I had been struggling with low back pain on and off for almost 3 years, having had about two spasms per year which would completely take me out for anywhere from 1-2 weeks. The last spasm left me with 8 months of daily chronic low back pain. I love being active and playing loads of different sports so this was hindering my life hugely as I felt I couldn’t run or play any sports. I was incredibly fearful of reinjuring myself and felt really down that I may never have an active future.
It also impacted my social life as many of my friends I played sport with, but I also felt like there could be no spontaneity as I couldn’t just take off somewhere for the weekend (driving was painful, doing small trails was painful, so was going out dancing or even sitting at a café etc).
I really lacked hope that things were going to improve on their own and I didn’t have any clue how to move forward as I had seen physios here and there, though nothing seemed to keep the injuries at bay in the long term.
Things changed immediately after working with Gurinder, even after our first call I had hope! I began seeing this as an opportunity and gift to learn more about my body and develop great habits.
Within 2 weeks I was feeling more mobile and after 4 weeks my pain had reduced by about 70%. I was surprised having played sport my whole life that I didn’t know so many things about proper form and moving correctly. By the end of the programme I was so much stronger and leaner, and I had gained an entirely new mindset about how to work with all sorts of life challenges, from handling stress around exams or noting how I would talk to myself about progress. I learned how to celebrate small wins and I felt my overall wellbeing increase tremendously.
I really believe Gurinder’s coaching methods and approach are so unique and holistic that if you have the opportunity to work with him, do not hesitate! He is encouraging and compassionate and is a wealth of knowledge! I will be forever grateful that I worked with him.
I can’t recommend the programme enough, the investment was worth every penny and more. Not just because I am mostly pain free, but I feel safely able to handle any injuries that may come my way, and I feel able to generate excitement and confidence about challenges ahead!
