"I Was A Doubter, But Now I'm A Believer"
I initially a “doubter” of the program, especially after trying various treatments like physical therapists, a chiropractor, and acupuncture without long-term success. However, after experiencing the positive results and the continued encouragement and support from Dr. Hov, I’m now a “believer”.
“Years of low back pain and sciatica kept Adam out of the gym, unable to compete in powerlifting competitions, and many sleepless nights — because he couldn’t find the solution that actually worked, until he talked with Dr. Hov and BackFix Academy.”

you through steady progression. My back had become increasingly unreliable since I got into my 40s, but I just made a personal best squat of 705 and totaled 2030 in a powerlifting competition at age 44 and I’m looking forward to more progress and fewer setbacks.

my Dr recommended. But after a few weeks, maybe a month I would be right back to being in pain, trouble sleeping and not being able to do the physical things I enjoy doing. I saw an instagram post about a “Back Fix Academy” so I watched it. Best instagram post I have ever watched because once I watched the post, I had a virtual appointment with Dr K and he worked out a plan for me. After just a few weeks I had no pain. I did think because of my past experiences that it probably would not work but with constant encouragement, daily messages and once a week virtual visits. I just kept getting better. I did have a few set backs but Dr K answered my messages asking what to do within a few hours. You would not get this from your local physical therapist. Along the way, I not only learned stretching and strengthening exercises to solve my back problems and I believe I will not have any issues in the future due to all of the things I learned being in this program. Believe me, it works!!

Had low back pain for years tried everything. Hov at backfix academy has the knowledge and routine for daily simple movements that were easy to … do but had to be consistent on getting them done everyday. I gave it a chance and I am doing everyday activities that were giving me tight low back issues constantly. I can now stand and wash the dishes, go for longer car rides and lift some heavier things. More confident in my movements now with no back twinges. If you are not sure about signing up just contact him and do the consultation and talk to hov he will encourage you that you dont need to be in pain everyday, just the consultation I saw immediate results with what he had me do my mobility got better in less than an hour and he proves it on the call.

it is online. Not only was Hovanes willing to message me 24/7, but he’d always encourage me to over communicate. My symptoms were rough in the beginning (a lot of pain and stiffness). Fast forward 6 weeks and I have absolutely zero pain. I can’t emphasize how much I recommend the program for anyone struggling with low back pain.

The plan layed out a simple that first seems too simple. But it builds over time in just the right way. When I started the plan, I couldn’t drive more… than 20 minutes without shooting pain all the way down to my feet. I couldn’t run, lift, drive, move furniture, yard work or sit. This was difficult for me as I do enjoy excercise in all its forms, and exercise is hugely important to my quality of life. It’s been a long 9 months. Now I have had a few painless weeks. I am back running short distances with the proper form and core engagement, with much faster and more effortless paces. The exercises to get to this point are not rigorous. To be honest I am still shocked it worked so well. Thanks HoV

Well, I’ve completed my time with Dr Hov and I can tell you for the first time in over 20 years, my back does not hurt.
I can go to the gym again, I can play basketball again and even swing a golf club again. I’m so grateful. If you’re thinking about working with Dr Hov, he will go above and beyond for you. The chiros I’ve seen said they’d help me get me better but I’d have to come in weeekly for maintenance…Dr Hov gave me exercises so that if my back does ever hurt, I can switch the pain off by myself.
If you have back pain, work with Dr Hov. I can’t thank him enough.

Meet Dr. Hov
Through this experience, Dr. Kirakosyan saw a consistent flaw in the traditional physical therapy model. Insurance constraints, high caseloads, and rushed visits often limit the time, precision, and depth of care patients need to achieve lasting results — leading to short-term relief instead of real, long-term change. Motivated by both these limitations and his own personal experience with a disc herniation early in his career, Dr. Kirakosyan set out to build a better model. BackFix Academy was created to deliver what the standard system often cannot: a structured, detailed, and adaptive process focused on precision, progression, and long-term outcomes.
His approach is simple in philosophy but meticulous in execution. Each phase is intentional, with no shortcuts and no skipped steps. The focus is on mastering fundamentals — movement quality, load control, and consistent progression — before advancing to higher-level work.By blending evidence-based rehabilitation with strength training, movement control, and performance principles, this system doesn’t just relieve pain — it helps people stay pain-free by addressing the root cause. The framework was first tested and refined through his own recovery, and now serves as the foundation of the program he teaches today.
You’ve already taken the first step by booking your consultation. When you work with BackFix Academy, you’re not just getting rehab —you’re getting a strategy to perform at your highest level for life.
