Who Is This Course For?

This course is not only for individuals dealing with back pain—it’s also ideal for yoga and movement teachers who want to offer safe, accessible practices to students experiencing spinal discomfort or injury.

The techniques taught here are rooted in the Spinal Synergy system, which forms the foundation of the broader 5-Dimensional Flow method. These simple but powerful spinal movements are applied therapeutically to help restore mobility, reduce pain, and build strength without strain.

  • Anyone suffering from chronic or occasional back pain.

  • People with back tightness, stiffness, or poor posture.

  • Office workers & sedentary individuals who sit for long periods.

  • Manual labour workers or fitness enthusiasts who lift heavy loads.

  • Yoga practitioners, personal trainers, or any teacher of physical exercise who want to prevent back injuries.

Why I Teach This Course?

"I’ve lived with serious back issues for most of my life—spinal fractures, disc collapse, nerve damage, and chronic pain. For years, I struggled to move without discomfort. Through decades of physiotherapy, yoga, and movement exploration, I developed a set of techniques that helped me rebuild mobility, reduce pain, and stay active without strain. This course shares those exact practices—simple, effective, and accessible to anyone."

- Simon Borg Olivier

How & Why This Course Works?

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 refIexes 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.

What’s Inside the Course?

  • Short introduction on the most common causes of back pain.

  • Simple methods of posture, movement and breathing that can relieve back pain.

  • Safe, accessible and effective posture, movement and breathing sequence practice for back health.

“From Pain to Freedom”

As a former gymnast and dancer, I struggled with persistent back pain for five years. Simon's Back Pain Therapy course introduced me to gentle yet powerful movements that strengthened my spine without stress. I now move confidently and pain-free. Life-changing!

“I’ve Had Back Tension Since My Teens but This Changed Everything”

I’ve been carrying tension in my back since my teenage years, so long that it just became my “normal.” Simon’s spinal movement practices helped me finally release that chronic tightness. For the first time, I began using the right muscles for support instead of compensating with ones that weren’t meant for the job. It’s been a true shift in how I move and feel every day.

David

“Relaxing My Pelvic Floor Was the Key to Letting Go of Pain”

I used to think I had to hold my pelvic floor tight to protect my lower back. But through Simon’s teachings, I realized that this tension was actually contributing to my discomfort. Learning to relax and coordinate my breath with gentle movement helped me release years of built-up tension in my lower spine. I feel lighter and more at ease than I have in years.

Monika

“I Cried on the Last Day Because the Pain Was Gone”

During Simon’s live workshop, I was stunned by what happened on the last day. I had lived with deep, constant back tension for so long that I didn’t even realize it was there, it just felt like “me.” But something shifted, and I felt it melt away. I started crying, not from pain, but from the relief of finally feeling free in my own body.

Denis

“Just Learning How to Walk Again Changed Everything”

The walking exercise in the Back Pain course blew my mind. I didn’t expect such a simple practice to have such a huge impact but it did. For the first time in years, I could walk without tightness in my hips and pelvic floor. It made me more aware of how I hold tension unconsciously and gave me tools to move more freely, every day.
