Still got chronic back pain despite physio, massage, chiro, & "strengthening your core"?

I've completely eliminated chronic back pain for over 90% of my clients with my innovative methodology

And best of all, my services are covered by insurance so if you have complimentary health insurance in Switzerland, you can expect a refund.

First it was just a dull ache after a long day.

Now? You feel it doing anything - getting out of bed, tying your shoes, even just sitting still.

Fun, spontaneous moments with your loved ones get replaced with "Sorry, not today."

And let’s not get you started on all the nights you couldn't sleep because it was impossible to find a position that didn't make your pain worse.

You’ve cycled through all the usual treatment modalities like physio, chiro, massage etc., and maybe you got some temporary relief or it felt like it was getting better, but nothing ever really lasted. Sooner or later, the pain would come straight back.

And when that happens, every healthcare practitioner that you've been to has always said "you've just got to strengthen your core."

Right. Like you haven't already done all the planks, crunches and pilates under the sun.

Here's what most practitioners get wrong about your core and why all their usual treatments don't work for chronic back pain:

Most practitioners treat ‘the core’ like it’s just your abs and lower back. But your true core is actually a full-body chain that runs from your skull to your feet—includes body parts like your jaw, throat, spine, hips, and even your toes.

All of these parts are meant to work together to keep you stable and moving well. But when one link in that chain—like your back—gets injured, your body gets clever and starts recruiting other muscles along the chain to compensate.

And guess which ones get stuck doing double duty? Your abs and lower back.

So when practitioners focus only on strengthening those already-overworked muscles with things like planks and crunches, they’re not only looking at one tiny part of the larger issue, they're also aggravating the issue.

That’s why most traditional approaches to chronic back pain don’t lead to lasting relief. They ignore all the other parts of your core that are quietly driving the dysfunction.

Real, long-term healing comes from rebalancing the entire chain, not just hammering away at one overused link. And the first step to rebalancing that chain? Retraining your brain

And THAT’S what makes my approach so different from anything you’ve tried before and why it works.

In the last 5 years I’ve completely eliminated chronic back pain for over 90% of my clients – all of whom had suffered from the problem for a year or more and who had tried everything before they saw me.

Want to be my next success and eliminate chronic back pain for good, just like Renata?

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Johdi Woodford

I'm a Restorative Movement Specialist who has helped countless clients finally get out of and stay out of decades-long pain for good.

My approach is different than anything you've likely tried before because it works by retraining your brain to move your body the way it’s designed to move, ultimately targeting the root cause of chronic pain and eliminating it for good.

This works so, so well for chronic back pain even though nothing else you’ve tried before works because it retraces the root cause of what led to your back pain in the first place, which may be very far away from where you’re feeling the pain now.

This means that, like Renata, we may need to fix disruptions at your abdominals, neck and feet in order to get your back unblocked. And the beauty of working like that is that you’re getting huge relief from back pain, right alongside much-need repair for the other parts of your body that have also become dysfunctional and that means you’re getting out of pain, staying out of pain, and preventing future injuries.

Client Testimonials

Why the brain? Why is my approach so effective?

It all has to do with how we move!

Every move you make — from lifting a cup to climbing stairs — starts in your brain, specifically the motor control centre. It sends signals to your muscles, telling them how to move. When things are running smoothly, you move pain-free.

But then life happens —injury, surgery, trauma, stress etc.— all of these factors affect your body’s ability to move properly. So, your brain compensates by finding new ways to move.

Over time, these compensatory patterns become second nature and permanent because your brain gets used to moving this way, essentially forgetting how it’s supposed to move. And now it’s sending your body the wrong signals. The result?

Friction and tension every time you move which eventually shows up physically as: chronic pain.

My approach identifies all the wrong signals your brain is sending your body—the true source of your pain— and retrains your motor control centre to restore proper movement, finally breaking the endless cycle of pain.

The first step in fixing your back pain?

A Personalised Pain Assessment to identify all the compensatory movement patterns you’ve developed.

What is the Personalised Pain Assessment and how does it work?

The Personalised Pain Assessment is a 1-hour, hands-on session where I evaluate your movement patterns and uncover all the root causes of your pain.

This assessment costs CHF 300 and includes:

4 x Movement Assessments: I analyze your posture, gait, breathing, and spinal mobility to see how your body is compensating and where it’s misaligned.
Customised Treatment Plan: I develop a step-by-step plan to correct these patterns and eliminate your pain for good, plus share a few strategies you can start using right away.

These services are covered by insurance so if you have complimentary health insurance in Switzerland, you can expect a refund.
