Medical Disclaimer

Everything published by Wildcard Wellness — every page of wildcardwellness.co, the routine, the movement list, the exercise videos, the emails, the paid guides, the blog, and everything posted on our social media accounts (together, the "Site") — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a licensed healthcare provider.

This Disclaimer forms part of our Terms of Service, which also contain an assumption of risk and release, and limits on our liability.

1. Who we are, and who we are not

Wildcard Wellness is operated by Fullcourt, LLC. It is an independent publisher of general fitness and wellness content. We are not a medical practice, a physical therapy clinic, a chiropractic office, a healthcare provider, a gym, or a licensed training or nutrition service. We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide healthcare of any kind.

The Site's founder — whose experience is the entire basis of what is published here — is not a physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, personal trainer, dietitian, nutritionist, or any other licensed or certified health professional, and has no medical training of any kind. Nothing on this Site is written by, reviewed by, or produced under the supervision of a licensed clinician.

In November 2024 the founder herniated the L5S1 disc in his lower back. After fourteen months of debilitating pain, during which physical therapy did not work for him, he assembled a routine of movements that felt good on his own body and has performed it daily since. His pain went from debilitating to 0/10 and he lost weight. That is an account of what happened to one person. It is not a claim about what will happen to you, and it is not a treatment, a therapy, a protocol, or a program designed for any particular condition or any particular individual.

2. No practitioner–patient relationship

Reading this Site, doing the routine, watching our videos, subscribing to our emails, buying a guide, or contacting us does not create a physician–patient, therapist–patient, trainer–client, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship between you and Wildcard Wellness, Fullcourt, LLC, or its founder. No duty of care arises from your use of the Site.

Because no such relationship exists, nothing here is or can be individualised to you. We do not know your medical history, your imaging, your diagnosis, your medications, or your limitations. A licensed clinician who can examine you does.

3. Always consult a professional first

Consult a licensed physician before beginning this or any exercise, movement, or nutrition program. This is particularly important — and we would say necessary — if any of the following apply to you:

• You have a back injury, a disc problem, or any spinal condition;
• You have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or any cardiovascular issue;
• You have any injury, chronic condition, or disability;
• You are pregnant, recently gave birth, or recently had surgery;
• You take any medication affecting your heart rate, blood pressure, balance, or pain perception;
• You have osteoporosis, a history of fracture, or any bone or joint condition;
• You have been sedentary for an extended period;
• You are over 65; or
• You have any reason at all to think that exercise might not be safe for you.

If a licensed professional's advice conflicts with anything on this Site, follow the professional. They win, every time.

Never disregard, avoid, or delay obtaining professional medical advice because of something you read here. Nothing on this Site should be used to replace, postpone, or discontinue care you would otherwise receive.

4. The personalisation questions are not a medical assessment

Parts of the Site — the Starter Kit in particular — invite you to enter optional information about yourself, such as how much weight you would like to lose and where your back pain sits on a scale of 0 to 10, and then adapt the wording of the page around what you entered.

This is cosmetic personalisation of text, and nothing more. It is not a screening, an assessment, an evaluation, a triage, or a diagnosis. Nothing you enter is reviewed by any person, and nothing you enter is reviewed by a clinician. No part of the Site determines, or is capable of determining, whether the routine is safe or appropriate for you, for your condition, or for your reported level of pain. Entering a high pain score does not cause the Site to warn you off, and entering a low one does not mean you have been cleared for anything.

Where the Site restates a figure you entered — for example, describing a goal of moving from your reported pain level to 0/10 — that is a restatement of your own input alongside one person's past experience. It is not a prediction, a projection, a target, a plan, or a clinical expectation for you. No outcome is being forecast, and none is being promised. Please read Section 8 below, which sets out in full that we guarantee no result of any kind.

Your answers are processed entirely within your own browser and are never transmitted to us; we hold no record of them and never see them. That is described in Section 1.4 of our Privacy Policy. The obligation in Section 3 above is unchanged by anything you enter: consult a licensed physician before beginning this or any exercise program, whatever the Site says back to you.

5. In an emergency

If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not rely on this Site, or any website, in an emergency. Do not email us about an emergency; we are not staffed to respond and we are not qualified to help.

6. Warning signs that require immediate medical attention

Some symptoms accompanying back pain can indicate a serious condition requiring urgent evaluation. Do not perform the routine, and seek immediate medical care, if you experience any of the following:

• Loss of bladder or bowel control, or new difficulty urinating;
• Numbness in the groin, buttocks, or inner thighs (sometimes described as "saddle" numbness);
• Progressive weakness, numbness, or loss of coordination in one or both legs;
• Back pain accompanied by fever, chills, or unexplained weight loss;
• Back pain following a fall, a collision, or any significant trauma;
• Severe pain that is unrelenting, wakes you at night, or is not relieved by rest or position; or
• Chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat, at any time.

This list is not exhaustive and is not a diagnostic tool. It exists because these symptoms are ones no one should attempt to exercise through. If you are unsure, treat that uncertainty as a reason to be seen.

7. Exercise carries risk, and you assume it

Physical exercise and movement carry an inherent risk of injury, including serious injury, permanent disability, and death. That risk is real regardless of how gentle a movement appears, and it is materially higher if you already have an injury or a medical condition. No one will be present to supervise your form, your environment, or your condition.

By performing the routine or anything else described on this Site, you knowingly and voluntarily assume that risk in full, and you accept sole responsibility for your own safety and for your own decisions about what your body can handle. The complete assumption of risk and release is set out in Section 6 of our Terms of Service.

Practical guidance we would give anyone:

• If a movement hurts, stop doing it. None of these should cause pain. When the founder built this routine he discarded roughly half the movements he tested because they did not feel good on his back, and has discarded more since. The ones that do not work for you may be entirely different ones.
• Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, numbness, tingling, or anything that does not feel right — and see a doctor before resuming.
• Do not push through pain. Going slower or doing less is always permitted and is usually the right call.
• Make sure your space is safe — a clear floor, stable footing, and nothing to trip over or strike.

8. No guarantee of results, and no medical claims

We make no promise, representation, or guarantee of any result — not weight loss, not pain reduction, not improved mobility, not anything at all.

Results described on this Site are individual experiences and are not typical, expected, promised, or guaranteed. Individual results vary enormously and depend on factors we know nothing about: your body, your history, your injuries, your genetics, your age, your diet, your sleep, your stress, your consistency, and plain luck. Any before-and-after photograph, figure, timeline, or comment from any other person appearing on this Site or on our social media reflects that person's own experience only.

To be as clear as we can be about the most important point on this page: this routine did not heal the founder's herniated disc. He still has it. He was scanned again months later, while pain-free, and the protrusion was exactly where it had been. What changed was his pain and his day-to-day quality of life — not the underlying disc.

Nothing on this Site is a claim that any movement, routine, food, or product can cure, heal, treat, mitigate, reverse, or prevent a disc herniation or any other disease or medical condition. Any such claim would be false, and we do not make one.

9. Food, diet, and supplements

Everything above applies equally to anything we publish about how the founder eats. He is not a dietitian or a nutritionist. It is not a prescribed diet, a meal plan for any condition, or nutrition advice. If you have a medical condition, a history of disordered eating, a food allergy, or you take medication, consult a physician or a registered dietitian before changing how you eat.

Any supplement mentioned on this Site is something the founder personally takes. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. No product mentioned is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Dietary supplements are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness before sale, can interact with medication, and are not appropriate for everyone. Consult your physician or pharmacist before taking anything new.

10. Accuracy and currency of information

We make a genuine effort to keep this Site accurate, but we make no warranty that any information here is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for you. Understanding of back pain, exercise, and nutrition changes over time, and content on this Site may become outdated without being revised. The Site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, as set out more fully in our Terms of Service.

11. Third-party content, links, and products

The routine is curated from movements found publicly on Instagram, primarily from @mikerholland, @tulumtrainer, and @taichi.aretues. We did not originate the exercises, we are not affiliated with those creators, and their inclusion is not an endorsement by them of this Site or of us.

Websites, brands, merchants, and platforms we link to are independent businesses. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, their products, their claims, or anything you obtain from them. Any transaction with a third party is between you and that party.

12. Affiliate links and paid products

Some links on this Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. We also sell our own digital guides. Compensation does not influence what we say about any product — we list only things the founder uses and purchased himself — but the relationship exists and you are entitled to know about it. See our Terms of Service for the full disclosure.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fullcourt, LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and agents are not liable for any injury, illness, aggravation of an existing condition, disability, death, loss, or damage of any kind — whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive — arising out of or relating to your use of this Site, the routine, the guides, or anything you reached through a link here. You use this Site and perform these movements entirely at your own risk.

The full limitation of liability, including the monetary cap and the exclusions that apply to it, is set out in Sections 17 and 18 of our Terms of Service. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, or fraud.

14. Changes to this Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer at any time by posting a revised version on this page and updating the date above. Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.

15. Questions

If anything on this page is unclear, or if you believe something on the Site is inaccurate, write to us at contact@wildcardwellness.co and we will do our best to explain or correct it.

If your question is whether any of this is safe for your body specifically — we genuinely cannot answer that. Your doctor can.
