"I used to be a gymnast and dancer before I met Simon and I have never experienced a movement system like his. I have been suffering from back pain for 5 years, but his circular movements don’t just make me feel stronger without feeling stressed out, but made it much easier to do any other movement system and use the Joint Synergy principles in any type of exercise."
- Tal, 34, Israel
This course is built on movement-based physiotherapy principles designed to relieve your back pain naturally and effectively—without any external equipment or hands-on techniques.
Important notes for how this course works:
No hands-on physiotherapy or manual massage techniques are included.
No foam rollers, massage tools, weights, bands, or other equipment are required.
No isolated muscle treatments (e.g., specific exercises for the QL, lats, or glutes). Instead, it emphasizes holistic spinal mobility and nerve reflexes.
Every exercise is based purely on your body's natural movements and refImagelexes to release and strengthen your spine effectively.
The Common Problem:
Most people experience back pain due to poor posture, lack of natural movement, incorrect training, or excessive tension in postural muscles—causing imbalance and chronic discomfort. Medication, massage, and manual therapies offer temporary relief, but often don’t address the underlying causes of tension or imbalance.
The Solution:
This course teaches you simple, active, and functional movements to naturally relieve tension, restore mobility, and eliminate pain long-term. You’ll learn how to leverage your body’s innate nerve reflexes and gentle movements to release deep muscle tension, correct imbalances, and develop awareness of how tension accumulates—empowering you to maintain a pain-free, balanced spine.
You'll be learning how to:
Release and strengthen your back safely and intelligently.
Build a strong, mobile, and pain-free back with practical movement techniques.
Move from your core for optimal strength, energy & internal health.
Safely improve hip flexibility to relieve tension in the lower back.
Modify yoga postures and daily movements to accommodate severe back pain.
