💪 From Pain to Power: Mike’s Low Back Comeback

Meet Mike, a 38-year-old firefighter and father of two. Years of lifting gear, climbing ladders, and sitting through long reports had left him with chronic tightness across his lower back and hips.
He’d tried foam rollers, stretching, and chiropractor visits, but the relief never lasted more than a day or two.

Then he found a simpler, more direct way to target his pain — the Pso-Back.

🔍 The Problem

Mike’s main issue wasn’t just muscle tension — it was stuck fascia and joint stiffness around his L4–S1 vertebrae.
This is the area where the spinal nerves branch into the sciatic nerve, and when that zone gets tight, it can cause:

• Sharp pain down one leg

• Tight hips or hamstrings

• Trouble bending forward or standing up straight

By the time he reached out, his morning routine started with a dull ache and ended with pain after every workout.

🧩 The Process – How Mike Used the Pso-Back

Mike committed to a 7-minute daily release routine. Here’s what it looked like:

1️⃣ Warm-Up (1 minute) – Light cat-cow stretches and deep breathing to wake up his spine.
2️⃣ Tool Placement (2 minutes) – He positioned the Pso-Back under his lumbar curve, just above the sacrum.
3️⃣ Pressure & Movement (3 minutes) –

• Slowly leaned into one side, then the other.

• Drew small circles with his hips.

• Focused on exhaling deeply through tension.
  4️⃣ Reset (1 minute) – Sat up slowly, stood, and walked for 30 seconds to feel the difference.

⚡ The Results

After the first session, Mike noticed a new kind of relief — not the temporary looseness he’d get from stretching, but a deep decompression.

After two weeks, he reported:
✅ No morning stiffness
✅ Improved posture while sitting
✅ Longer stride and better hip mobility
✅ Pain-free workouts for the first time in years

By week four, Mike was teaching his crew how to use it after long shifts.

🧠 Why It Works

The Pso-Back targets the deep spinal stabilizers — the multifidus and quadratus lumborum — that are nearly impossible to reach with a foam roller.
By releasing tension at the root (around the lumbar vertebrae), it allows the nervous system to reset and the hips and spine to move freely again.

It’s not just about pressure — it’s about precision, alignment, and breath.

🌬️ Try Mike’s Routine

Here’s how you can test it yourself:
1️⃣ Lie on the floor with knees bent.
2️⃣ Place the Pso-Back under your lower spine.
3️⃣ Inhale deeply through your nose.
4️⃣ Exhale slowly, allowing your spine to sink into the tool.
5️⃣ Gently move side to side for 2–3 minutes.

You’ll feel your hips open, your breath deepen, and that familiar low-back tension begin to fade.

🗣️ Mike’s Words

“I thought my lower-back pain was just part of the job. But the Pso-Back gave me control again. I can move freely, train harder, and still wake up pain-free.”
