What we go through

The single biggest mistake people make in the first month of back pain. It feels like the responsible thing to do at the time, which is why so many people make it.
The four drivers of low back pain we actually find on the exam table. Not the words on your MRI report. Movement problems, and the part you can change.
How to tell a back that needs protecting from a back that needs loading. They look identical from the outside and need close to opposite plans.
Why so many back surgeries do not end the pain, and the questions to ask before you agree to one
What recovery looks like when it happens without medication, injections or surgery, and how long it honestly takes

Everyone in the room goes home with

A printed copy of The Truth About Lower Back Pain: The Hidden Culprits
A free 20-minute assessment pass, one on one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, to use whenever you like

We are not looking at the spot that hurts. We are looking at why your body is sending the load there in the first place.

Who this is for

You have pain in your low back or down your leg when you stand, walk or sit
You have been told surgery or an injection is the next step and you want to know every option first
You are tired of masking it with medication just to get through the day
You are less active than you used to be because it gets worse the more you do
You feel like you have tried everything
You are the spouse of someone with back pain who is too stubborn to come alone. Bring them.

Presented by Dr. Andrew Gorecki, PT, DPT, FAFS

Andrew founded Superior Physical Therapy in Traverse City and is a Fellow of Applied Functional Science. He is also a former back pain patient. A herniated disc in his twenties sent him through a year and a half of treatment that never held. What finally worked was finding out why his back was taking the load in the first place.

He wrote The Truth About Lower Back Pain: The Hidden Culprits and has given more than 400 talks to people dealing with back pain.

What to know before you register

Is it really free?

Yes. No cost, no billing, no insurance. You are committing to two hours in a chair on a Saturday morning, not to becoming a patient.

Can I bring someone?

Yes. Register them too so we have a chair and a book for them. Seats are limited to 30.

Will anyone call me afterward?

We send a reminder the week of, and someone calls the day before to confirm your seat. After the workshop, nobody calls unless you ask us to.

What if I cannot make that date?

Request a free 20-minute Back Assessment instead and get the same answer one on one. Request it here or call (231) 944-6541.

30 seats. Registration closes Thursday, January 7 at 5:00 PM.
