I remember it like it was yesterday.

Sitting in one of the top spine specialists office in the area staring at the walls wondering what he was going to say about my MRI results.

See, I had been dealing with progressively worsening chronic lower back pain for the past couple of years and nothing I tried was helping.

I exercised 3-4 days a week, ate healthy and felt like I was in the best shape of my life (despite my growing tolerance to over the counter pain medications)

Exercise started to become one of my worst pain triggers. And I got scared. I stopped working out for fear of doing more damage.

So I did what anyone else would do. I turned to doctors.

I will never forget that day the doctor walked into that stale patient room and slung my MRI results up on the LIVE screen.

He said "Son, I hate to break it to you but you have a ruptured L5-S1 disc with signs of degeneration."

In that moment, my heart sank and the thoughts jumbled around in my head. "What does that even mean?!"

As I tried to contain my fear, I remember the doctor mumbling a bunch of words but what struck a cord so deep was him saying things are going to be different for you now. Your work outs will have to change and a life of pain management and a fusion are in your future.

There I was sitting on a bedside table, 21, healthy and finding out I had a ruptured disc and a life of shots and going under the knife were my only options.

There was no pep talk, no encouragement, not even an I'm sorry kid. Nothing. Just cold answers with no REAL promise of being pain free or "normal" life again.

That day I dove head first into the long black hole of specialist. After multiple appointments per week, thousands of dollars out of pocket, and way too many over the counter anti-inflammatories I found my self staring down the barrel of a loose cannon. It had all FAILED.

Physical Therapy didn't work

Massage Therapy didn't work

Chiropractic Therapy didn't work

I had hit ROCK BOTTOM in my Back Pain journey and it had wrecked havoc on every single aspect of my life. I felt hopeless and doomed to a life of pain management where there was no way out.

-I wondered if I would ever work out again without pain.

-I feared I would never be able to get out of bed without barely being able to move let alone walk.

-I was scared to death that I would NEVER be able to play with my kids or toss them in the air and be the father I had always dreamed of.

AFTER MONTHS of Debilitating pain, an addiction to over the counter anti-inflammatories, and failed therapy strategies - I DECIDED I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE and that was when EVERYTHING changed for me. I set out to DO SOMETHING more.

I remember praying "God help me not become another statistic lying on an operating table or addicted to pain meds."

Those words rang deep within my soul and that day it all changed for me I set out to find the cure for my back pain and get my life back!

Is it really possible to get FREE from Chronic Pain and stay that way?

The answer is a resounding YES!

But you can be FREE from chronic pain because pain is in direct relation to your mind. Pain is first created in the mind and then signals the body of the problem.

We run into bigger problems when we just "simply" treat the pain rather than correct the problem.

It’s not your fault that you keep trying these stretches, poses, creams and braces that don’t work.

It is what "they" are trained to do - treat the symptoms but not address the problem with a REAL solution that actually works.

There is a ton of BAD information out there luring you into the next hot product or drug that will finally be your answer to getting relief. These are more like a mirage. You may see it and want it and be enticed to buy it but the real lasting results will not come from just covering it up with something NEW and shiny.

I think better words are "Lasting Relief" from your chronic pain.

No more of those quick, shiny fixes, it's time for some REAL results and getting back to the person you once knew.

Getting relief from your chronic back pain is VERY possible and in fact, over the past several years or so I've created a formula that has allowed me to find relief and get back to doing the things I was born to do. I no longer have to pep talk myself out of bed in the morning or say no to tossing my daughter high up in the air. I no longer have to throw back pain pills after a workout and pray my back doesn't flare up.

And the best part?

Now I am teaching others to do the exact same! They are finding relief from their chronic back pain and getting back to life again.

If you're skeptical- welcome to the club.

If you had asked me several years back at age 21 sitting on that table waiting for that doctor if I was interested in taking the holistic route to finding relief for my chronic back pain I would have looked at you crazy and asked a ton of questions like:

1. How? If the doctors say my only options are pain pills and surgery how can anything "natural' actually work? What kind of crunchy stuff are you feeding me?

2. Why? Why would I even try if the doctors say this is the only way? Why would what you are saying give me results?

3. What? What kind of gimmick are you trying to sell me into? If it's so good why aren't the doctors telling me about it?

The William back then was afraid...

He wanted relief but didn't know yet where to start or how to make it happen.

He thought the doctors knew it all or at least should know it all and if there was more then they should be telling him.

Can you relate?

I needed to do something different because the other options weren't working. I needed something that actually worked. That actually gave me lasting relief.

And through a lot of trial and error I figured it out.

Getting your life back without persistent back pain is possible - VERY possible.

You just need a strategic plan of action and a program that can give you the very tools you need to finally get FREEDOM from your pain.

I want to help you do just that.

So I took decade's worth of knowledge, frustration, pain, experience and whittled it all down into a simple, repeatable formula.

Introducing...

An intentional, turn key, proven program that takes you from waking up everyday with chronic pain to finally getting the results you have been longing for.

• You are tired of stretching and doing exercises that cause MORE pain.
• You are willing to put in the work and effort to see long-term relief.
• You understand that beating chronic back pain is a process and NOT an overnight or quick fix type of thing.

When I was training clients one on one I was charging $500/ a month for coaching.

I was able to cut that back to $350/month when I started working with people online.

I was still limited because I was only able to take on 2-3 clients at a time. I needed an even better strategy to deliver everything these clients needed to see success (as affordable as possible).

Don’t forget: it’s completely risk free

I’ve packed a lot into the Relief Academy because not only do I want you to get lasting freedom from your chronic pain but I want you to be able to exercise pain-free and live the active life you dream of. 

On top of that I want to make sure I can guarantee you results.

And to make it a no-brainer deal for you I’m giving you a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee with your purchase of Relief Academy today.

That’s right: Go through the course, check out the bonuses, follow the steps, put in the work, and if you don’t love it in the first 30 days of your purchase, send me an email and I’ll refund you immediately. No questions asked, no hard feelings.

If Relief Academy doesn’t work for you, I’d much prefer for you to take your money and invest it where you will be happier and get results. 

 P.S. Don’t forget that when you join the Relief Academy you are joining risk-free. You have an entire 30 days to watch the course, implement the strategies I cover and take action on all that you learned and THEN decide if it’s right for you.

P.P.S. Trust me when I say, when you have lived with chronic back pain for any period of time you forget what life was like with more predictable control over your pain.

I know what it’s like to be scared to try something new - something that might fail. I was a few hours away from my first round of Cortisone shots and scheduled second opinion on surgery.

I can't imagine what life would have been like if I would have kept that appointment.

Where will you be 60 days from now if you don't choose to invest in yourself? You will still be in pain, taking medication to dull the pain, stretching and doing exercises that will only make your pain worse.

Make the leap and invest in yourself. Remember, there is absolutely NO RISK to you. 

See you on the inside...
