The Foundation

The Backhealer Method

Over 50+ years of lived experience with structural spinal instability. 20+ years of clinical practice. All books, courses, and classes are built on the same three-pillar system.

🫁

Controlled Breathing

Pranayama techniques that restore diaphragm function, decompress the spine, and regulate the nervous system. You breathe to create space from the inside out.

Myofascial Release

Targeted ball work that releases the psoas, iliacus, diaphragm, and pelvic floor—the deep front-body structures creating compression on your spine.

🧘

Precise Movement

Progressive sequences (M1/M2/M3) that retrain motor patterns, restore anterior chain length, and rebuild back-body strength without aggravation.

Lengthen the front. Strengthen the back.
