Two Complete Recovery Pathways: Choose Your Journey
SPARK isn't one-size-fits-all. The book contains two complete, 8-week recovery pathways - one for disc herniations and one for stenosis. Plus, detailed insights on treatment options rarely discussed outside specialist clinics.
Stenosis Pathway
- Weeks 1-2: Establish immediate pain relief strategies through "flexion-friendly" movements. Learn why "flexion is your friend" and how to use this principle to walk longer with less pain.
- Weeks 3-4: Strengthen your lower back and hips while continuing to mobilize the nerve. Experience significantly less pain when standing and walking.
- Weeks 5-6: Add controlled extension and rotation exercises to rebuild full spinal mobility, with precise guidance on when to push and when to back off.
- Weeks +7-8: Develop true resilience through targeted strengthening that maintains spinal health for the long term.
Disc Herniation Pathway
- Weeks 1-2: Focus on reducing pain and building confidence through gentle mobility work and pain relief strategies. You'll learn exactly when to rest and when to move, with specific exercises that won't aggravate your nerve.
- Weeks 3-4: Begin activating the nerve through specialized nerve glides while strengthening your core and trunk. Experience reduced leg pain and more predictable symptoms.
- Weeks 5-6: Progress to more advanced movements that challenge and strengthen your back and nerve health, with exercises designed to regain nearly full range of motion.
- Weeks +7-8: Build true resilience through progressive loading and a complete exercise program that prepares your body for all of life's demands.

Where other Physical Therapists did the same thing over and over with no lasting results, Michael's efforts gave me significantly less lower back pain (i.e., from 6 to 7+, to 0 to 2). To me, that said it all.
