5MinuteBack vs. TrueCore

5MinuteBack™ and TrueCore™ are the culmination of over 15 years of development with over 60 supportive research articles, 10 years of clinical application and, most recently, premise substantiation using FLIR high quality thermal imaging illustrating the anti-inflammatory and metabolic activation effects of this program. Developed by Dr. Loyd Frank Jarrell, the world's leading expert on spondylogenic reflex syndrome, no other spinal stabilization and strengthening program offers such a rich background of diverse supportive evidence.

5MinuteBack Thermal Imaging

The referenced 3 images illustrate the effects of 1 session of 5MinuteBack™ Advanced/Extreme (5 minutes floor and 5 minutes band). Of note is approximately 70% reduction in spinal, pelvic and lumbar joint and muscle inflammation, the 4.6 degree F. drop in T8-9 focal inflammation (cross hairs).  Continued activation of skeletal muscles at 38 minutes is evident.

This level of reduction in inflammation equates to gross improvement in spine and peripheral ranges of motion, increased muscle strength, reduced overall pain and stiffness, improved effector (motor) control and functional status of viscera, and prolonged caloric metabolism in skeletal muscles typical of the 3-15 lb. weight loss over 6 weeks of performing even the Basic program.

The 5MinuteBack Advantage

If your client or patient is experiencing back or neck pain; traumatic injury; muscle, joint or nerve problems; shoulder, knee or foot pain; or looking for peak performance; 5MB™ is a powerful, easy to learn and easy to use training program.

5MinuteBack™ is effective for:

• Acute and chronic pain management
• Increasing range of motion
• Speeding injuries and surgical recovery
• Delaying certain surgeries
• Reducing symptoms of chronic disease
• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Improving overall health and fitness
• Reducing delayed onset muscle soreness
• Increasing athletic performance
• Improving or resolving neck, back and extremity pain and dysfunction

Zero to Minimal Equipment Needed!

5MinuteBack™ is the simplest and most effective program available that requires absolutely no equipment and can be done in as little as 5 minutes a day! Once you start, you will want to learn the the rest of 5MinuteBack™ Intermediate and Advanced workouts. 5MinuteBack™ even offers an Extreme workout for the best of athletes, the toughest of working lifestyles, and the most difficult stages of advanced physical rehabilitation.

The Intermediate, Advanced and Extreme 5MinuteBack™ workouts build and progress into the next. Each stage can be done in under 10 minutes a day.

How 5MinuteBack Works

Your Back is an Apple!

5MinuteBack™ is the only back and body strengthening program that acknowledges 3 key design features of the human body that are just now coming to the front edge of medical understanding.

1. First: You need a strong back! All movement in the body requires spinal stability through strength. Without a dynamically stable spine, the arms, legs, head and jaw cannot move efficiently and will eventually develop muscle and joint damage or injury. Right now, the human back is the weakest in the entire history of humanity.
2. Second: You must use your senses! All 5MB™ spinal stabilization and strengthening exercises start with a group of senses called “telereceptors” that include the eyes, ears and nose. These sensors gather information at a distance from the body and will always cause the eyes to turn in the direction requiring your attention. This process in turn activates spinal muscles from the top down and from the deepest to the most superficial muscle groups.
3. Third: The spine is a chain of links we call vertebrae. The muscles of the spine are best divided into three functional groups: 1) The deepest layer, or those that connect one vertebra to another; 2) The middle layer, or those that skip one or more vertebrae and connect to another that is further away and; 3) The outer layer, or those that connect one entire region of the spine to another region of the body. 

5MinuteBack™ understands that the deepest layer is the most important to strengthen first. Most back strengthening programs focus on the outer layer, or large muscles of the back and abdomen first. Your Back is similar to an apple and, like a bad apple, these programs may make you pretty on the outside but soft in the inside. 5MinuteBack™ builds from the inside out and redefines the true definition of "TrueCore™."

SRT TrueCore™ Spinal Stabilization Training includes specific exercises necessary to achieve long-term patient self-support for unstable zygapophyseal joints. SRT TrueCore™ exercises are easy to instruct, easy to learn and are performed in 2-3 minutes each (typical 1-3 exercises max per patient). 

All exercises are based on the latest concepts and research into extraocular driven deep layer intersegmental muscle activation (rotatories, intertransversarii, interspinalis and levator costae brevis) and dependent sequential paraspinal and large motor pathway firing. TrueCore™ is a critical link in understanding and managing multifidi and larger multiregional muscle contractions.
