7 Days to a Better Back

Physical therapy treats the site of the pain. This program addresses why that site is under enough stress to cause pain in the first place. That is a completely different question — and it leads to a completely different plan.

Most people who have done previous therapies find something genuinely new here, because this program is addressing problems nobody else has been looking for.

Yes — many of Rick's most successful patients came to him after surgery that did not resolve their pain. Surgery addresses structural damage. It does not address the movement patterns that caused the damage. Those patterns are still there after surgery, which is why pain often persists or returns.

If you have had recent spinal surgery, check with your surgeon before beginning any exercise program.

Yes. The assessment identifies your specific pattern regardless of where your pain is located. The crease in the photos is one common finding — but not the only one. The 14-point assessment looks at the whole picture.

No. The 7 Days to a Better Back assessment includes identifying hip, knee, and foot issues that are contributing to your back or sciatic pain. For most people, working through this program is enough to resolve lower body pain as well — because the root cause is usually the same.

If your back pain resolves but you still have pain in a specific area, Rick has targeted programs for hip and knee, foot and ankle, and other regions. Those programs build on the same framework — so there is no starting over. They focus the testing and solutions toward your remaining specific area.

One program is very likely all you need.

The habit and taping recommendations take no extra time — they ask you to do your normal things differently, in a way that feeds your body rather than breaking it down.

The exercises typically involve up to 5 movements that take about 1 to 2 minutes each. Once a day is fine — but 3 to 5 times a day in the first week gets faster results. Most people see a significant change when they do.

Yes. The program runs in any web browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No downloads, no apps, no accounts to create. If you can watch a YouTube video, you can use this program.

YouTube videos give everyone the same exercises — because they are based on the site that hurts, not on why that site hurts. This program gives you the assessment first, then builds your plan around what it finds.

The difference is the same as the difference between a prescription and a pharmacy shelf. One is for you. The other is for everyone.

For most people who complete the assessment and follow their plan consistently, it works. But if you give it 7 days and do not feel this approach is genuinely different from anything you have tried before — email support@rickolderman.com for a full refund. No questions asked.
