Summary
Dr. Ray is the director of staff at Active Life. He works with one on one clients and is responsible for coaching the staff. If you have heard of the Active Life Immersion program, Dr. Ray runs that too. The dude is a stud!
A neuro surgeon told her she needed spinal fusion, an orthopedist agreed, and a physical therapist couldn't help. Now she power cleans over 200# and she never had surgery. What happened between the scary prognosis and the heavy clangin' and bangin'? Give it a listen.
Minute Breakdown:
0-10 - How did you know she didn't need surgery?
11-20 - He told his wife to hide his gun.
21-30 - Is an anterior pelvic tilt bad?
31-40 - Turning off a false alarm.
41-50 - Even the smallest improvement can lead to the largest.
51-60 - What does the future look like?

| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody welcome back to active life radio on the shrug collective network. |
| 0:10.3 | I'm Dr. Sean Pestooge. I'm your host and today we're joined by our director of staff at |
| 0:15.8 | active life Dr. Ray Gorman. The conversation that Ray and I had today was about one of our clients |
| 0:23.4 | who was in her young 20s when we first met her. She's still on your own 20s but when we met her |
| 0:28.8 | she had some back pain and the recommendation that the people who she was seeing was surgery. |
| 0:35.4 | And I'm not just talking about any surgery. They wanted to fuse her spine. This is a girl who is |
| 0:42.7 | very athletic has been active her entire life and was actually a fairly elite CrossFit athlete as |
| 0:50.5 | well. Getting a spinal fusion surgery for those of you who don't know would have been a massively |
| 0:56.9 | invasive procedure to the lifestyle that she wants to live. We would never encroach upon |

| 1:19.3 | for her either. And she had now come to us and asked for help and asked if we could get the job done. |
| 1:25.5 | During the podcast with Dr. Ray today we talk about exactly why we were confident to take |
| 1:32.8 | her on as a client and what we did from day one to now about eight months later and where she's at |
| 1:42.0 | as well as what the future looks like for her. If what you hear today is something that relates |
| 1:48.6 | to you. If it's something that rings a bell of yourself or somebody else who you know that needs |
| 1:54.7 | to hear this podcast please make sure that you're sharing it with them. If you're so inclined |
| 2:00.2 | that you want to seek the kind of help that this client got by all means feel free to head to |
