Stefan Becker
B.App.Sc. (Chiropractic)
Stefan has been a chiropractor for over 30 years, having graduated from the RMIT college of Chiropractic, in Melbourne, Australia. He studied five years full time and graduated in 1992.
He's always been a bit obsessed with exercise and fascinated with what you can do to fix yourself.
Stefan firmly believes that if you're proactive, you can prevent the common pitfalls of aging.
This is his personal story...
"You’d think that as health practitioner with 30 years experience, that I wouldn’t get many problems, but I’ve struggled with a huge amount of issues over the years…
• My shoulders were so painful for almost a decade that I almost had to give up my job.
• Hip pain forced me to give up all the things I loved, like tennis & running, for years.
• I had knee & hamstring tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and terrible posture that I was embarrassed about.
You name it, I’ve had it. All the common problems that tend to accumulate with age… but at a younger age than normal.
And no amount of treatment or exercise seemed to help.
The ONE thing that I kept thinking was “If this is what I feel like now… what am I going to feel like in another 10 or 20 years?”
I ended up reducing my hours at work and dedicating myself to studying research articles and human biomechanics. For months. And I found so many things in the research that no-one was applying in practice.
When I applied all of this knowledge, the crazy thing was just how quickly all of my issues started to improve. And how well they worked for my patients, even if they’d had problems for years.
So during the covid pandemic I sat down and started my YouTube channel, 'Body Fix Exercises', so I could share my knowledge with the world."
Stefan loves to travel and he and his wife have explored more than 100 countries. He currently lives in Barcelona, with his gorgeous wife Tanya and BFE's mascot and mentor, Sebas the Siamese wonder cat. Late at night, in the quiet of his home, you'll usually find him on his mat, exploring new exercises with Sebas' assistance.
