Core Balance Training Reviews 

This program made a big difference in my back pain and core strength. There are no magic bullets but if you want to reduce your back pain without pain medications, surgery and other treatments, this is worth a try. I am in my 70’s and the program was easy to follow, at a good pace 9that you can control) so you don’t “overdue” on the strengthening and results were achieved in a short amount of time. You do have to be committed but there is so much help along the way with support from staff and students. The once a week online chat with Dr Ryan gives you a chance to ask a specific question of him. There is a huge supply of resources for you to use to help you on your journey with back pain. I do recommend this program.

Had years of dealing with back aches and some nerve issues due to my back's disc degeneration. Recently started having constant sharp, shooting pains, so things were getting worse. When I saw Dr. Ryan explaining CBT concepts of core stabilization, it all made total sense. Within a few weeks of the program, even though the disc degeneration is still there, I am out of pain and have learned how to manage/take control of my back issues. Don't get surgery without checking CBT out first!

I have had back pain for 50 years and have lost track of the PT and chiro appointments I have had. I have always been active and athletic, so it has been extremely frustrating to curtail my favorite activities as the back pain became more and more dominant. As a member of a functional gym, I have done most of the exercises a 1000 times. The difference with CBT was the intention. In the gym it was all about having fun; if my form was not quite right, oh, well. Starting from scratch, on my own, was critical. CBT has been a life-changer for me, and I will be forever grateful.

Improved mobility. Less pain

CBT was a significant experience with long-term results because it fostered self-awareness. The modules were well-structured in their progression, which facilitated learning. I never downloaded the app due to technical issues with my phone, so the videos would sometimes freeze when viewed via the browser, though this wasn't a major problem. At first, it wasn't clear to me how to pause the program when I didn't feel ready—specifically, how to stop receiving the emails. The solution I found was simply not to open the emails in the first place; this might be a point worth clarifying. Otherwise, the communication was excellent—supportive and effective. I really appreciated Dr. Ryan’s way of explaining things—it was what motivated me to start. It wasn't just technical advice; his words conveyed a shared experience that really resonated with me. CBT is for everyone, not just those dealing with serious issues like mine. Thank you for being there.

I was taught how to engage my core and breathe deep

The program itself provided the granular and sequential information I needed to understand what I was trying to achieve and what was going on in my body. The encouragement from Dr Ryan via video lessons and YouTube episodes kept me hopeful and motivated. The online community was a great reassurance that I was not alone and provided a channel to return the support to others. Once completing the program, I was grateful for the discounted monthly rate to keep going until I felt the confidence to continue my practice without the app. Superb program and highly recommended.

Dr. Peebles has a great program that helped me with my SI joint problem. Very well organized, lots of thought put into exercises and progressions.

Dr Peebles is an amazing teacher and healer. The CBT course changed ho w I live and move on a daily basis. I’ve recommended the program to many friends!

Highly recommend if you want to return to your previous level of activity after a back injury. This program changed my life.

Thank you so much for the very thorough and educational core balance training program! I feel much more confident to move and do activities in my normal life again. I still have a lot to work on, but know with time I will stay on course to continue to make gains.

Every morning I do about 25 minutes of core balance exercises. Although, my sciatica is still there, I don't have pain. I'm just clumsy

First of all I have been an CBT Alumni for about 1 year and half and almost 2 years a follower. Great programme! Thanks to Dr Ryan, I have healed the sciatica due to spondy that had crippled my body in 2024. So grateful! I maintain a good exercise practice of his teachings along with my own yoga practice and feel great. After just a few months after starting the programme, I was so much better and since then -more than a year now- I am again walking, dancing, swimming and so on without pain and feel very balanced in my body! 👍 Very thorough explanations of all one needs to know about muscle re-balancing, excellent videos, great community platform! I am looking forward to join again when my finances allow. Thank you!

Back improved.

I learned better ways to improve the support of my core and that improved my confidence in avoiding more back pain issues. My overall strength is continuing to improve as well.

I have successfully completed the program and will now continue to use this knowledge for the rest of my life.
I started the CBT program at the age of 78 and I will turn 79 next month. I have suffered from lower back pain since I was 25, and after these three months of practicing with your program, it has completely disappeared.
Thank you very much, Dr. Ryan. What you do is fantastic.

I had never received such detailed instruction about how to feel my inner core muscles, rectify pelvic tilt, or walk properly. Since I've always had deformed feet, I just assumed that I had to endure pain and didn't realize how much damage it was doing do the rest of my body. The community and staff support is highly beneficial for many people. I know it's expensive, but it's worth a try if you want to change your life.

CBT does a great job of teaching the progression of exercises needed to reduce or eliminate pain. The daily email was well organized and makes it easy to stay on track. After 4 months my years of SI Joint pain is 0-2. As I finish the program the only thing I would like to see is an option to pay for an affordable yearly membership for viewing videos only. I did not need the group calls or forums, I just used the videos.

Everything made sense, and was explained so clearly. I felt supported and encouraged the whole time! The team has a very positive and reassuring way that helped me get through to the other side of my si joint pain.

I felt accepted in a community that understands what I'm going through with my chronic pain. The process was relaxed and pressure-free, with gentle reminders. I could follow along at my own pace.
English isn't my first language (I'm using Google Translate to write this). Even so, I was able to follow the instructions and understand the explanations.
