Sylvia was used to being very active playing sports and gardening. However her hip pain had increased over the years to the point she could barely walk for more than a couple blocks.
Desperate to avoid a hip replacement surgery, recommended by two orthopedic surgeons and which was scheduled in the next two weeks, she had a Zoom call with me.
Sylvia wanted to make sure she tried everything before having surgery.
She had already watched YouTube videos….
Obsessively, looked for everything she could learn about fixing hip pain.
She tried everything including stretches, strengthening exercises and gadgets.
Some caused more pain than relief….
She was doing all she could do…
I knew exactly how she was feeling…
One day at work, I lifted something and immediately fell to the floor in agony.
I was young, strong and in great shape. How could that happen?
My mind never couldn't grasp the idea that one wrong move led to years of pain and disability. In fact, I couldn’t even board a plane without a wheelchair.
I remember seeing faces of strangers, probably wondering why a guy so young needed a wheelchair. That was a real low point for me.
All I wanted was to feel better. Like Sylvia, I was consumed with finding someone or something that would help me get my life back.
Unfortunately, none of the things I did helped me, they only gave me temporary relief, living day to day still hurt.
To solve my pain, I decided to become a physical therapist.
My goal during my education was to learn all the inside secrets, so I volunteered for all back pain demonstrations.
The weird thing is, I never found new secrets or methods to heal my back pain.
After graduate school, I discovered our medical system had failed thousands of other people with chronic pain. The world was full of walking wounded just like me.
It became my mission to discover the cause of chronic back pain and how to fix it.
I wanted to help my patients and myself…
I had to figure it out on my own.
This began my decades-long journey to find the missing knowledge that kept chronic pain a mystery.
I spent years reading and researching, making mistakes, consulting with experts, and investing tens of thousands of dollars to find undiscovered answers….
My clinic in Colorado began to gain a reputation for helping “unfixable” cases.
As my clinical results started gaining rapid recognition for helping the "walking wounded" actually improve and often reach a level of full recovery. More and more difficult cases from across the country and abroad filled my appointment schedule.
Sylvia's doctors recommended hip replacement surgery, but I knew, after watching her stand and walk in our Zoom session, we had a good chance of avoiding surgery.
Three weeks later she was completely pain free and has remained pain free for months.
Here’s her interview with me:
My life's work is helping people who suffer from chronic back and hip or other pain regain their confidence to live pain-free.
Most people know me as the Chronic Pain Coach & Expert.
I help people with difficult chronic pain regain their health and take their life back.
I’m a licensed physical therapist, best-selling chronic pain author, and a “chronic pain recovery warrior” who has helped thousands of women and men around the world recover from unfixable hip pain and live healthy thriving lives.
Sadly, they’re not even aware of it...
Common Approaches to Solve Hip Pain DON'T WORK...
They're flawed and failing.
Because of this...
It leaves people wondering why they are still in pain and if they will ever be able to be active, play with their children or live a life that isn't dictated by their pain...
To top it off, they never learn the RIGHT approach to actually fix their pain.
That’s why I feel like it’s my duty RIGHT NOW to help YOU AVOID THESE FLAWED & FAILING APPROACHES and develop a new plan for your specific needs.
How do I do that?
There was a reason I didn’t find the solution to my own pain when I was in school. It was because the entire medical world was only looking at pain from one perspective.
That perspective is what I call component thinking.
Medical professionals get trapped in the “component thinking” cycle. They fixate only on the damaged or painful spot to fix their suffering…
But when pain persists, systems thinking is the game-changer.
We have hundreds of tests and scans in medicine to identify damaged tissues, but zero tests or scans to determine why that damage is happening….
I discovered that when we approach the body as a system, focus must be on our habits which play a significant role in aggravating pain.
This is referred to as Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA)–which basically means your body has forgotten how to be supple and move in a way that reduces tissue breakdown.
Habits are a big part of feeding SMA. So are older injuries, sports, exercise or work habits, even emotional trauma.
If you think about those times your low hip pain, SI joint pain, sciatica, neck pain and even headaches are triggered, you’ll realize this is linked to simple actions like the way we sit, walk, bend down or how we get out of the car.
It has helped thousands of people around the world go from being stressed, overwhelmed and worried about their uncertain future....
To feeling CONFIDENT in their actions, knowing exactly what to do and when, boosting their health AND... empowering them to feel strong and capable again.

This same Fixing You® Method is what helped Deb B who was in so much pain:
“I was seriously contemplating quitting my yoga teaching job. Since Feb 2018 I had been going to doctors and PTs trying to get a proper diagnosis.”
In a couple months Deb was:
“...back to walking, jogging, cycling and my full schedule of yoga!! And the best part was going from constant pain to a pain level of zero. I can’t thank Rick enough!”
Denise had written herself off as disabled and within one week was virtually pain free.
Here’s what she had to say about Fixing You® Method for her hip pain:
Here’s my take on Denise’s diagnoses:
Here’s Yuko’s story:
"I was born with a severe right hip deformity. I've had both hips replaced and still suffered from horrible pain. I visited three different specialists but was disappointed with their treatment. My friend introduced me to Rick's books and told me that Rick might be able to help me with my condition.
I started reading the Fixing You® Hip & Knee Pain book and before finishing, I emailed Rick for an appointment. He responded promptly and I was excited to visit him. Rick figured out my problems and my pain was tolerable after his treatment.
Rick showed me how to walk by using the correct muscles and provided me with at-home exercises that I still use to this day. I have been pain medication free for quite some time and my pain is under control. I do my exercises every day and plan on continuing them forever.
Rick has given me my life back. Thank you so very much Rick from the bottom of my heart!"
Sallie B. said it gave her the “tools” to fix all her back, neck and shoulder pain she had suffered from since she was in her 40’s.
“Thanks to Rick I get to do all the things I love to do in this 72 year-old body.”
“Love your programs. They helped my piriformis syndrome tremendously. Within 4 days the pain was reduced by 50-70%.”
I've been where you are now–suffering and confused about what to do next. I know how important it is that you understand how to use all the tools I'll provide you.
It includes videos, audio sessions and workbooks to help you reshape the way you care for yourself and grow stronger…
It will provide the missing information you need to start feeling better.
And because I have been through it all myself…
I understand how difficult it can be to make sense of everything...
I take all the complexity out and break it down in a way that is easy to do and understand.
There is no other chronic pain recovery program like it in the world.
Thousands of people have implemented the Fixing You® Method and have seen dramatic improvement.
It's an undeniable solution to chronic hip pain.
Denise’s thank you:
Yuko’s story...
"I was born with a severe right hip deformity. I've had both hips replaced and still suffered from horrible pain.
Rick showed me how to walk by using the correct muscles and provided me with at-home exercises that I still use to this day.
Rick has given me my life back. Thank you so very much Rick from the bottom of my heart!"
“Thanks to your GREAT tips.
Plus, I really like your physical therapy techniques and teaching style.
THANK YOU for your care and helping me and so many other people heal and get back to a healthy and active life.”
“Thanks for the program and I will be doing it as a daily routine. I HAVE ENJOYED YOUR CLASSES WITH THE PERSONAL TOUCH!!”
“I have sciatica pain in my left hip and leg. I started using your therapy, and I received a great deal of relief after the first session.
I am now pain-free from the sciatica.
I do the therapy about every other day just to be safe. It amazes me how great therapy works.”
And it’s helping people go from hopeless to happy. As you read this now, someone is having a breakthrough moment in their recovery.
It took me over two decades to finally crack the code of chronic pain.
I even put my method to task by training other physical therapists and watched them get the same “miracles” I do.
In the past, people waited months to get into my clinic…
They invested sometimes hundreds to thousands of dollars in travel to get a private session with me.
But, I don’t want you to have to spend anything like that!
I don’t want you to travel at all. I want you to stay in the comfort of your home.
You already have all the tools necessary to solve your pain, except one–the right information.

How is Fixing You® Method Radically Different?
Let’s dive a little deeper. Chronic pain is not just about tight or weak muscles (although that's definitely a part of it), but also about deeper patterns of tension in your body that go unnoticed by most health professionals.
These patterns can develop for a variety of reasons but one of the biggest causes is from how you use your body or sensory muscle amnesia (SMA)
Yes, the simple things you do every day are reinforcing the patterns causing your pain.
Strategically Target Tight Or Weak
Muscles Contributing To These Patterns
Eliminate Muscular
Tension
Along These Patterns
Change How You Use Your Body To Break Down And Prevent Those Patterns From Forming Again
This is likely why you’re still struggling with pain. It's not common knowledge among medical practitioners and healers what these patterns are, let alone why they occur and how to get rid of them.
In order to solve your pain, they only employed component-thinking strategies to focus on stretching and strengthening based on the location of your pain.
It doesn't work because they don't consider how the body works together, from head to toe, as a system.
Why?
As an example, the biceps muscle originates from one place and inserts at another and is innervated by this or that particular nerve.
Knowledge of this kind is particularly useful when helping people with ACUTE injuries, which are those lasting less than three months.
CHRONIC PAIN, however, requires a deeper understanding of how the whole body moves and works together.
It requires a “systems” understanding—how different parts of the body, often far away from each other, affect each other and pain.
In my Extra Help video in my program, I even provide taping techniques I’ve developed based on my understanding of how the body works as a system. Taping helps create changes in your body until you’re able to do it yourself.
I even offer techniques your current practitioners can try with you to solve stubborn problems faster.
Their compensations looked something like this:
But they were willing to learn new things and try my unique systems approach to solving pain.
Here’s what Sallie had to say about her results:
"Thank you Rick for getting me back in balance…The stop sign has been removed. I now get to do all the favorite things I want to do with my 72 year-old body.”
This same Fixing You® system approach that these and other customers have applied has worked for thousands of people including Sylvia whose scans showed she had labral tears, bone spurs and other bony anomalies.
She was even told that her legs were two different lengths—a common misdiagnosis even if they’ve been measured (See Denise’s video above). She was recommended for hip replacement surgery. A second opinion confirmed the need for a hip replacement and it was scheduled for two weeks away.
However she wanted to exhaust all options first. In one week her pain reduced by about 50%, at which time she called off her surgery. In two weeks she was 100% better and returned to her first love—gardening.
Watch her talking about her experience here:
When you join, you’ll have access to that Guide which can be downloaded as a pdf document or you can watch it as series of video—or both!
It’s important that you understand the powerful tools you’ve been given and best how to use them. You are not on your own.
Once you’ve read the Guide, you’ll see my program is basically broken down into three phases:
Let’s briefly break those down:
As you learned in my Masterclass, muscular tension is a huge driver of pain. It basically locks the body into painful patterns of movement.
Tension is created by your brain and nervous system. Stretching doesn’t solve tension because stretching is a mechanical solution to a neurological problem. Instead you need a neurological solution.
That’s why almost everyone who joins my program will begin with the eight somatics audio lessons. I recommend devoting your first week to exploring these lessons.
The Somatics lessons target eight different patterns of problems behind almost all pain. You will likely experience a significant reduction in your pain after the very first lesson.
One or two of these lessons will likely be very important to eliminating your pain. Once you’ve identified that lesson and reduced your tension pattern, bring that lesson with you while exploring the next phase…
This phase is where you’ll find the strengthening and stretching exercises, as well as the habit and taping recommendations to fix biomechanical problems.
Don’t worry though, unlike what you’ve been trying up till now there will only be a few key exercises you’ll be doing. It should take about 15-20 minutes once you’ve learned the exercises.
Combining the tension and pain reduction exercises your pain should reduce steadily and rapidly. Once it is 75% reduced, you’ll then begin the next phase…
This phase of your program uses more complex strengthening ideas to prepare you for return to work, household duties, recreation or whatever your goals are. They build off the principles you used to reduce your pain in the first place.
This last phase of your program may last longer than the other two as you explore life after pain. There will likely be ups and downs while doing this but using the Fixing You Method program, you’ve learned why you have pain and how to solve it. So you can apply that thinking to other situations too–this completes your journey.
My goal is not only for you to be pain free but understand exactly how to stay pain free without needing anyone else’s help ever again. You will be in control of your body and mind.
Great question! In my program I use an 8-question survey called the Pain Disability Index or PDI to help you assess your pain. This is a standard questionnaire used in most physical therapy clinics. I ask that you fill this out first thing when you first join (it takes about 30 seconds) and then at the end of each week thereafter to track your pain.
I’ve noticed many people forget how much pain they were in once it starts to melt away. The PDI will give you objective feedback about exactly how much better you are becoming. Once you’re 75% better based on your PDI score, you can begin your Strength & Restoration phase.
To help you even more, I include an Overall Pain Checklist where you’ll write down your PDI scores, track the exercises that help you the most, and figure out the deeper questions behind your pain. These questions are what I’d ask you if you were coming to see me in my clinic. Basically this Checklist replaces me and will help you think about your pain correctly.
I can guarantee you’ve never approached solving your pain like this before. And because of that, you’ll get amazing results that you never got before or expect to get now.
The therapists I’ve trained got similar results as me in my clinic.
This is important as it establishes a reproducible, valid outcome so critical to judging clinical results.
As one of my therapists says, “It’s more comprehensive, yet simpler”
It’s comprehensive because it involves understanding and fixing the body as a system, rather than mere components.
It’s simpler because I’ve discovered chronic pain problems happen in patterns. The same pattern of problems causing sciatic pain in one person, can cause disc problems or one-sided back pain in another. Arthritic changes or SI joint pain in another. Bursitis or Hip pain in another.
The pattern manifests differently in different people because of their personal history and body composition. However it’s the same pattern. Fix the pattern and fix your pain.
And it’s helping real people all over the world even as you read this right now…
It took years of research and hundreds of thousands of dollars, working with clients around the globe to gather this knowledge and put all this together for you into this simple system…
I believe it’s the most complete, simplest and fastest way to solve your pain. I want you to understand that YOU ARE NOT BROKEN, you simply haven’t had the right information yet. The problem is you’re judging this information based on your past failures and other information you’ve received from practitioners or online that hasn’t helped you yet. If it hasn’t helped you, why would you use that information as the standard by which to judge something new and revolutionary? That just doesn’t make sense.
Instead you must judge my program by the results you’re able to achieve.
I know how hard it is to trust people over the internet... I feel the same way and I don't blame you. That's why I want you to access the information risk-free.
This way, you can access our life-changing FIXING YOU METHOD GUIDE and CHECKLISTS, see the quality of the materials, understand that it can actually help you, and realize that I wouldn't put MY credentials and reputation on the line if my information did not legitimately help people and change lives.
Many other people selling online quick fixes don’t have credentials or reputations at stake because most are not medical professionals.
At this point, I've helped thousands of people around the world. I even have medical doctors and physicians who use these resources for their patients.
