Dedicated to reversing the causes of lower back pain, Core Balance Training is an online program that uses core activation and movement retraining to help people improve posture and escape the back pain cycle. Students first learn how to activate the spinal support muscles of their deep core by connecting to their 'Core Anchors', then how to apply that connection to movement. Students are guided through a system of core-based movement, resulting in a healthy core connection and supported spine in activities of daily life.Core Balance Training was founded in 2016 by Dr. Ryan Peebles, a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has committed over 20 years to better understanding and reversing the root causes of chronic lower back pain. After overcoming his personal struggles with back problems, Dr. Ryan now guides others to get out of pain.The 12-week program can be completed by all ages and fitness levels. It begins with simple core-based movements, progressing to functional and complex movements over a 3 month period. All movements become healthy for the spine, allowing students to return to higher level activities, such as fitness and sport without pain. Other outcomes are improved function and reduced or eliminated lower back pain. Because the solution focuses on education and movement retraining, the results of Core Balance Training are typically lifelong.

This program truly delivers what is promised. A consistent commitment to following and doing what is taught will bring success! The support and staff feedback keeps your motivation strong! Mastering core engagement has been the key to becoming pain-free in my lower back due to age/disk degeneration.

The instructor is very knowledge and explains and demonstrates things in the most nuanced detail, which is great for ensuring you are understanding and applying the movements in a correct, safe way to get the best results. However, the frustrating point of this program is that often times it locks you from progressing to future exercises /modules, and makes you wait at least a day before progressing to them. This is not helpful to those of us like me who have already been doing similar things in PT and who want to advance to the future lessons more quickly; that's my only 'con' about it.

I was diagnosed with spondylothethesis and couldn’t walk for more than 10 minutes without back pain. I am thrilled to say that after completing the program I can now do my 2.5 mile walks every day without any pain. I’ve gained strength and am more aware of my posture now. I highly recommend this training!

I had confidence in the program but the platform lacks organization and the ability to just easily access it! Unfortunately it felt intentionally set this way to slow progress and lengthen subscription. It may have worked if I could have accessed it when I got down on my yoga mat ready to go

Hi Mary, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry you had a frustrating experience accessing your lessons and understand how disappointing it must have felt to be ready to practice and not be able to get in. To clarify, this is a 3-phase program organized into 12 modules. Lessons are released one per day so you can fully absorb and master each concept before moving on. All phases, modules, and lessons are listed in the sidebar, and a checkmark appears next to each completed lesson to help you track your progress. While the full program can be completed in about 12 weeks, everyone’s journey is different, and the membership-based format gives you the flexibility to move at a pace that works for you. Your access issue was caused by a failed payment. Once payment was received, your access was automatically restored by our system. Our goal is for students to build strength, confidence, and awareness so they can move forward independently. The program focuses on meaningful, consistent practice to form deep connections that support long-term improvements in daily life. This is typically a 3-month commitment if you engage daily. We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify how the program is structured. Best regards, Austie with CBT

This course had a major positive impact on the way i move in daily life and also while practicing sports. I feel more secure and the pain in my lumbar spine is mostly gone. Thanks! The course is very well structured, and makes it easy to understand the key concepts and implement them. I highly recommend this course to anyone , with or without back problems

The Core Balance Training course was really effective for me. I had been dealing with low back and radiating pain for over five months and trips to the chiropractor and PT were not having an impact. By the second week of CBT, my radiating pain was gone and my back was feeling stronger. Now, 10 weeks in, I feel great. Though I have always exercised regularly, my core has never felt stronger. I highly recommend this course for anyone struggling with back pain.

The CBT program helped me to reduce SI joint pain effectively. It also help me to walk with my core engaged and reduce my knee pain while walking. The program is well informative and training is very detailed. The feedback from questions asked is quick in response and of a high quality. Everything is done professionally and effectively, and all excersises can be used for the rest of my life. Very impressed and will recommend program to any person with back pain.

Stick with this program! It takes time so Dr Ryan’s recommendation to build the core concepts is instrumental. I was able to stay on target for three months of the course, but it took me an extra 2 months to get to a great place! I still have continued work to do but now I know what works and it’s this program!
