From ER Physician to Patient—And Back Again

 

I treated back and neck pain every day—until it became my own.

One morning after a long shift, I could barely get out of bed.

No injury. Just the way I had been sitting and sleeping.

That’s when it hit me:

Why are we spending 6–8 hours every night reinforcing bad posture… and expecting to feel better the next day?

Most treatments focus on pain.

But no one was fixing what caused it—how we sit and how we sleep.

So I created Back Fix™—to fix the cause, not just manage the symptoms.

Not just to relieve discomfort—but to retrain how your body sits and sleeps so the problem doesn’t keep coming back.
