To see if you'd improve your symptoms with this program. I don't want to be negative because I really have no answers tho it does seem like you've exhausted conservative measures to date and I just wonder why this program wasn't the first thing that was offered vs. the last in terms of conservative treatment. I would wager to guess the answer is cost.

Your lifestyle sounds so active that I would have to wonder about relief of symptoms with this program and returning to a semblence of your level of activity.

Please keep us posted as it will be very interesting to hear how you progress and I agree with your plan in terms of exhausting your possibilities before heading off to surgery (probably because that's what I would do but again every individual makes their decision re surgery/other). Wishing you the the absolute best.
