Lower back pain that keeps returning after treatment?

Abdhes Kumar U.

I am happy with Moustafa's wholistic approach towards the body to solve the problem. I was having lower back pain possibly due to weakening of muscles. With his training I regained the muscle strength as well as flexibility which certainly healed my pain and now even sitting for long hours infront of computer or exercising or moving around. I have no issue and there is remarkable strength and stamina gain physically and pshycoligically. His training provides better solution of physical problems and much superior than physiotherapy. I am pretty sure, it is very helpful for middle aged people for longevity and physical strength.

Main Problem: I had my hip injured 4 years back during one of my hikes to Gunung Nuang. Not understanding the severity of the injury, i continued my marathons, and other outdoor sports without proper time to heal. My injury worsened when i couldnt drive for more then an hour or jog more then 1 km without having knee pain. My pain began to spread from my hip, to my glutes and to my lower back. After going for MRI, it was found my L4 and L5 has shifted a little outside and touching my nerves and i was advised to stop all my sports and to undergo physiotherapy session. Went to multiple physio rehab centres and was classified as chronic injury by the physiotherapist. Healing was too slow and does not seem to have any effect due to my chronic condition. Was very demotivated to an extend it took a toll on my mental and physical health. I have consulted spine ortho specialist as well multiple rehab centres without any solutions. There are days i couldnt sleep due to my hip ache which comes at night. At times i would just pray to The Lord to just show me a path to heal my condition. Solution: 1 year ago, while i was doing my home physio in my apartment gym i met Mustafa who also happened to stay at the same block. He approached me and advised me on a few exercises that may show better results. I was skeptical as first as I have already consulted multiple ortho specialists and even one of the best rehabs in Malaysia. But i was also at a stage of i got nothing more to lose even if did try his methods. Hence i tried. My healing process was faster then the rehabs i have visited. Having full faith in Mustafa, i decided to trust his methods and follow his guidance. 4 months with him, 90% of my 4 years of agonizing pain has healed and not only am i regaining my stamina but my muscle strength has exponentially increased. I am able to go for long drives more then 6 hours without any back pain. I am also able to slowly increase my jogging distance without any knee or back pain. It has been some time since i had my leg aches in the middle of nights. He has not only thought me how to overcome my problems, but to handle them with utmost patience with the right technic. His golden advice ''It is not how much you can lift, but how perfect your form is''. Over time i begin to realize he is the answer to my prayers and i am grateful to have met him. Overall Experience: He is calm and patience explaining each exercises and what it does for my healing. His in depth knowledge about sports injury and rehabilitation is commendable and it is always shown in results. His dedication and caring nature makes me motivated to push myself to be consistent and to stick to his regime and method. Now i am on my way to get back on my Brooks and hit it on my marathons. 1 year ago i was told it is not possible by my specialist, but this guy proved it possible. Overall he knows his stuff and most importantly... A GOOD MAN!

Previous to going into a commitment to engage in Moustafa's personal training services, he conducted a thorough phone interview and assessment to learn more about my current activity and any lingering issues. At the time, my two main problems were severe mid thoracic back spinal pain, and recovering from recent stress fractures in both knees. I also suffered from a multitude of mobility issues from shoulders, hips and ankles. With the foundation Moustaf helped me implement after 9 sessions, I can say I am completely free of thoracic back pain, and mobility in said areas have greatly improved. I highly recommend Moustafa if you are looking for a professional who takes a holistic approach to your wellness.

It's been a year, I have been training under Moustafa. Initially, when I started, I was suffering with back pain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, and shoulder pain. After a year, my most of the problems are gone, I feel stronger, energetic and light. Moustafa is very professional, friendly and devoted to his work. I would strongly recommend him as a personal trainer.
