Struggling with Low Back Pain?

You’re aspiring to live life freely, without the constant worry of back pain holding you back?

 

No matter your goals, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands!

Why Partner with Me for Your Recovery Journey

Years ago, my life was upended by a severe lower back injury—an L5-S1 herniated disc paired with facet joint osteoarthrosis. The pain was relentless; sitting, sleeping, or even bending became ordeals. My passions for weightlifting and hockey were put on hold, replaced by a regimen of Tylenol 3 and Ibuprofen just to make it through the day.

Despite seeking help from various clinicians, relief remained elusive. Some advice even exacerbated my condition, including a disheartening experience with a doctor who, without a proper assessment, prescribed a generic set of stretches that aggravated my pain. This system failure sparked a realization within me: there had to be a better way.

The statistics are stark: low back pain is a leading cause of work disability worldwide, with a majority of the population likely to experience it at some point. Facing this, I embarked on a self-directed path to recovery. Leveraging my background as an exercise science student and my access to extensive research on spine rehabilitation, injury prevention, and strength & conditioning, I meticulously crafted my own rehab program. The result? A return to a pain-free life and my beloved sports within two years.

This journey wasn’t just about my recovery; it became a mission to help others. As a McGill Method Certified Practitioner, I bring a unique blend of personal experience and specialized knowledge to the table. This certification equips me with cutting-edge techniques and an evidence-based approach to spine health, tailored to prevent and alleviate lower back pain.

I have since dedicated my career to assisting others, from professional athletes in the NBA and NHL to individuals recovering from scoliosis surgery. While I’m not a physician and cannot offer medical diagnoses, my expertise lies in ensuring your back is treated with the utmost care, preventing further injury.

Whether your goal is to return to deadlifting, play hockey again, enjoy pain-free time with your children, or any other activity, I’m here to guide you. However, if your ambition is to break the world record for sit-ups, I’ll respectfully decline to assist.

What sets me apart isn’t just my certification or my personal triumph over back pain; it’s my passion for spine health. My obsession with understanding and treating the spine is evident through my client testimonials, YouTube vlogs, and blog posts. My commitment is to you and your well-being.

If you’re not completely satisfied with the progress and support you receive, I will provide a full refund.

What others say about Remi

"After consulting with multiple doctors about back pain and getting misdiagnoses and no relief, I was able to find Remi on YouTube and get a better second opinion. Remi helped me better understand my back problems situation and established a route for me to get better. Remi is great for talking to too about back problems and has provided me with far more information than anybody else could!"

"I first contacted Remi via email after watching his YouTube video on his story of lower back pain. We soon organized a Skype call in which we discussed my recently diagnosed L5/S1 disc protrusion, which was causing me unbearable pain. After we did some tests, Remi devised a plan that would take me on my journey to become pain-free! Not only did he do this, but he was also there for me when I had bad days in which he would give me the positivity that I needed to keep moving forward with my recovery. I truly believe that back pain is as much of a battle mentally as it is physically. Remi had me covered on both parts, and we still talk to this day. Thank you. Tom, UK."

"I found a video of Remi's on youtube when I was trying to recover from a severe back injury, and he gave some advice on how to relieve the pain that not even my doctor gave me. After following it, my pain decreased by at least 80%. That is why I decided to join Remi's coaching program to see if he could help me recover so that I could get back to doing the sports I once loved and regularly did. Remi was extremely patient with me and extremely understanding throughout the entire 3 months program. His program allowed me to strengthen my body when it was at its weakest. And the emotional support that he provided along the way was a big part of why I stuck around and trusted him even though I was shit scared. My #1 goal with Remi was to be able to run again, something I couldn't do anymore after my injury, and I am so happy to say that 5 months after Remi's program, I am running now. Slowly but surely I know I will be able to reach the level I was at in the past. He knows what he's talking about, and he knows what he's doing, but the #1 thing Remi gave me in his program was the belief that I could get better, which I lacked before. His program was worth every dollar I paid."

"I’m very happy to share my success story of working with Remi Sovran. I came to Remi with a challenge to get my back better before a seven-day bike trip in only two months. I had experienced low back and sciatica pain on and off at varying levels of intensity for several years and needed a game plan. After Remi evaluated the MR’s of my back and my doctor’s evaluation he came up with an exercise plan that incrementally increased my lower back and core muscle strength which helped me achieve little or no back pain! My bike trip was a great success! I was able to cycle 40 to 50 kilometers every day during my trip. I am so glad that I found Remi’s videos on YouTube. I was impressed with his McGill certification and his vast knowledge about how to treat back pain. He patiently answered my questions even when they were the same repeated questions. If you’re looking for a long term solution to your back pain problem I would highly recommend Remi Sovran."

"In July 2018 I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 with some moderate nerve symptoms down my right leg as a result of losing tightness on a deadlift rep. After minimal improvement from several physiotherapists and chiropractors whom I found out later were providing me with wrong or outdated information, I came across Remi on YouTube. I instantly reached out to him for back pain advice/coaching as a last resort. After a thorough posture and form assessment, I was given a custom training program suited to my injury and anatomy. On top of that, it was great to have 24/7 access to chat with Remi through text or a call to ask any questions I had regarding my progress. After 8 weeks my nerve symptoms were pretty much gone, and I finally had the blueprint for training and maintaining proper spinal health without giving up sports or weight training."

“Back in 2016, I suffered an L4-L5 disc herniation after performing a set of deadlifts, which left me in severe pain and constant fear of bending over to pick things up. I went to several doctors with no success until I found Remi Sovran, which was the start of my journey to a successful recovery. Living in Puerto Rico, and not having any success with previous clinicians, I decided to sign up for Remi’s online coaching program. The online coaching went very well, and I was excited every time we spoke. It took some time for my lower back injury to get better, but Remi Sovran is the guy that paid all his attention to my injury. After all the hard work and dedication, I am now back in the gym deadlifting, squatting, and running again. I strongly recommend Remi, not only because he knows about this, but because he is kind, good and passionate about this. You are in good hands working with Remi.”

“Words cannot describe how thrilled I am as I write this. Almost a year ago I was popping painkillers and trying every stretch available to get rid of my lower back pain. I had no idea that what I was experiencing was a herniated disc in my L4-L5. My whole life I have been into physical activity, but within the last 4 years I stepped up my game. Long distance rides, many runs, playing football and my favorite of them all... weight training. It crushed me when I was not able to do any of these. Each time I tried these activities, the pain became worse. My most significant frustration was having the doctor tell me "No more running, jumping or riding. And don't lift anything heavy" I felt depressed for days.. I tried telling myself at least I can walk. As an educator myself I wanted to understand my issues and the therapy that was recommended as well. That's when I stumbled upon Mr. Remi Sovran. My Godsend. I started watching his videos on youtube, and I could really relate because he knew what I was going through.. what the pain was like and he had made his own recovery from the injury himself. I decided to contact him, sent him an email, and he quickly responded. I was very impressed by the way he took his time to go through my assessments, my videos I sent and the specific questions that were necessary to direct me in my understanding of my injury. He asked me what do I want from this consultation. I told him, I just want to ride my bike again and run. 2 months from that day, I am now able to do just that. Through patience with me, and our chats every day, I can do it again. Remi Sovran, Thank You! I can enjoy my life once more. You have given me a way out of no way.”
