About Me
My Story
I’m Alfred Cheng, created a personal, Do‑It‑Yourself (DIY) solution for non‑specific lower back pain (LBP) after conventional treatments failed to provide lasting relief. A chiropractor once told me I needed ongoing visits — that pushed me to research alternatives.
Through trial and error with my own body, I developed the MPMS Method (Mechanical Problem, Mechanical Solution), combining:
- One popular stretching exercise, and
- One chiropractic‑style stretch
I have submitted a provisional patent application for this method. It consistently relieved my pain within seven days and has kept me pain‑free for over 10 years. This is my personal experience. I shared the method with four close relatives over the past ten years — all experienced pain relief within seven days. Their results suggest these exercises work for most, though not all, cases of non‑specific lower back pain.
For years, I hesitated to share the method publicly due to time and financial constraints. Today, I want to help others relieve non‑specific LBP as a way of giving back to society. My goal is not profit — it is to offer a simple, cost‑effective, accessible way to manage non‑specific LBP and potentially save billions in healthcare costs.
Mission
To establish the MPMS Method as the best initial approach for managing non‑specific lower back pain and make it widely accessible.
Vision
To complete a clinical trial and position MPMS as a first‑line treatment before professional or surgical options.
Goals
- Help users become pain‑free within seven days using the DIY MPMS method.
- Collect successful results to justify a clinical trial.
- Raise funding to conduct the formal clinical trial.
Why the MPMS Method Is Unique
The chiropractic‑style movement — which I call the Cross‑Leg Twist — gently rotates the lower spine, similar to loosening a bolt and nut to relieve tension.
The second movement — the Semi‑Pushup — uses your body weight to help restore the spine’s natural curvature.
Together, these exercises form a simple yet effective approach to relieving non‑specific lower back pain.
Today, variations of these exercises appear widely on YouTube and in many publications. However, most advice includes dozens of exercises, leaving sufferers unsure which ones truly work. Many resources also rely on technical medical jargon, forcing users to study before they can even begin.
As someone who lived with non‑specific LBP, I needed something effective, straightforward, and immediately usable. That need sparked my DIY research journey. In my view, these two exercises meet all those criteria.
It’s rare for a complex problem to have a simple solution — but this may be one of those rare cases, much like the story of Lorenzo’s Oil, which continues to inspire me.
Mainstream medical approaches offer many effective treatments for non‑specific LBP, but they often take weeks or months to achieve full relief, and the financial burden is enormous — billions spent on medical bills and lost productivity.
