Hi all I thought I'd give an update and my thoughts on the back pain protocol and the pattern decoder programs I recently purchased. As someone who has been experiencing back pain on and off for the last 10 years plus, has purchased every latest gadget, spent a fortune on every specialist i could find and bought countless mobility and strengthening programs I was reluctant to invest again but when I saw Ania's posts on instagram they really resonated with me. I can honestly say this has been the best investment I have made in trying to fix myself, not because I'm healed or even close at this point but I finally believe I've found the right path, what I've learned so far is the key to finally getting to the root of my issues is learning where and what is actually causing the disfunction. I've spent so long just following generic stretching routines which can give relief but never addresses the cause, now I'm just going over and over the protocol trying to find where it is all coming from rather then just ticking the boxes to say I've completed all the movements. If you're anything like myself I really struggled to connect with each movement I'd thoughrly recommend the pattern decoder, I use this to guide my through each exercise to really feel what I need to. I am not in a position to work with Ania on a 1 to 1 basis but she has been very generous with her time, answering questions for me and giving me advice, for which I'm grateful for. I see this as less of a program to follow more as a method to use to heal myself and finally take ownership of my own body rather than getting someone else to solve it for me. Hope this might be helpful to anyone, I'd also be interested in hearing other experiences on the program, here's hoping we all get better!
