“My hips and back have been messed up ever since having kids!  I've never been able to get back to my shape again because my back just won't let me.  I got back twinges with the slightest seemingly normal movements.  I was afraid to play with my now teenage kids because I didn't trust my back.  I didn't want to end up out of commission for a week or more; so I just played it safe.  But this meant I missed out on so much!  And it meant I became pretty boring, grumpy, and started to have lower self-esteem from not being able to take part with my family and friends.  I used to be so active before kids; ran several times per week, did 3 HIIT classes per week with a personal trainer, and never thought about my back going out. After 5 months of following advice from Dr. Nik, I can finally say that I'm back!  I love life again.  I never think about my back anymore.  I chase my kids around and wrestle them to the ground - I love it! Thank you Dr. Nik!”

“I used to get chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Nik 1-2x per week for months - and honestly I felt like I could have had my back cracked every day for relief!  Finally, I listened to his advice and took ownership of my situation.  I followed his advice on changing all the little things of my day (like how I sit, how I bend at the sink to do dishes, how I pick up my 5 year old child, how I bend to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth... honestly, all the little things add up quickly if you do them with bad form.  At first, it was a hassle, but then it just became a new normal.  The tension in my back stopped coming back all the time; the daily 5minute routine started to give longer lasting relief, and I wasn't hanging on to my next chiropractic adjustment anymore!  I actually don't feel like I need it for relief, but rather I want it for its other benefits - general health and wellbeing.   The hard work paid off.  My little girl is no longer disappointed that I can't play with her because of my back.  I can now join my friends back in gym classes, hiking, and runs.   I am honestly feeling the best I have since having kids. Thanks Dr. Nik!”

“My back used to be so tight!  I woke up sore, and went to bed sore.  Both my kids are teens now.  Looking after them from birth has no doubt been a major cause of my grief.  I have followed the advice from Dr. Nik for 6 months now, and I am so excited to be living a fun life again!  Some of the most simple past struggles are now easy - like putting on my socks and pants on in the mornings, and getting out of the car feeling free instead of stuck in a hunched forward position! I am finally able to play with the kids, kick the ball around and race with them.  Not only that, I'm finally able to get back in shape!  I can't believe how good it mentally feels to be moving again without the fear that my back is going to go out on me.  And it all started with a daily 5 min routine to free up my back.  Thanks MotusPro and Dr. Nik! You've changed the dread I used to have every morning getting out of bed with excitement to go for a workout and join in on adventures with my kids instead of watching them from a distance. love,  Joan.”

“I have not been able to get back into the body shape I had prior to kids because of my back pain. The fear of flaring up episodes had honestly made me conclude that I would never get back to being my old self again. I didn't really care so much about it for my apperance alone, I always found that when I exercised my mind was sharper, my energy greater, my excitement for life higher. I was giving up hope of ever being my best version again - I had exhausted all options and professional help I knew of. Then, I came accross Dr. Nik and MotusPro. His advice just made sense. The solution so simple - I just had to stop sabbotaging my own back and give it a chance to finally heal! The thing is that I didn't even realise the little things I kept doing throughout the day that was not allowing my back to recover. I am finally back to the best shape I was prior to having kids. I am truly my best version again”

“The truth is, I just got used to a new way of life.  Mums don't have time to not be well, so I just plowed through.  But in my inner self, I knew that I was missing out on so much, and my kids and husband were missing out on my best version.  A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Nik at MotusPro.  I figured I wouldn't have the time to keep up with what he had to say - but I did!  He never bombarded me with a ton of exercises.  If anything, the 5 min per day self care routine is as much time as I really take out specific to freeing up my back.   The information in the emails did not make me stop doing anything I need to do. Dr. Nik taught me how to do things in a better way so that my back tension doesn't keep returning.   I'm telling you, do yourself a favour and follow Dr. Nik's advice over the next few months - your life will never be the same again.  Your family will thank you ten thousand times over!  It's never fun to be the one that holds the group back. Thanks Dr. Nik! Ellie”

“I was diagnosed with a bad L4/5 disc herniation. Stayed in hospital for 3 days and experienced weeks of the most intense pain I've ever experienced (and I've had 4 children!). Then I met Dr. Nik Dukovac. Following his advice, I no longer allow the fear of potential pain to hold me back. I even followed a dream of mine to apply for the police academy - And I was accepted!”

“My back pain kept me from being the best mother, wife, and person I wanted to be. It mentally drained me. It was affecting every part of my life, including the decisions I made - what I would or would not participate in. It was causing me to be depressed. Then someone finally recommended Dr. Nik Dukovac to me. Despite having already tried everything including seeing a chiropractor, which Dr. Nik is, I decided to give him a try. I will forever be greatful I did! I have the most energy I have had in years. My kids have their bubly energetic mother back. My husband has the woman that he remembers marrying back! I can truly say I look forward to every day ahead of me again. When planing adventures with family and friends, my emotion of fear for my back locking up has been replaced with excitement!”
