5 Stars Happy Customer
I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease years ago. I have had flare ups of back pain that kept me from life and work. I have always dealt with stiffness and discomfort. It was a common occurrance to have pain when I’d bend forward and when I first got up in the morning. I am in week 3 of this program and I have been feeling much better. I have a lot less discomfort than when I began this program. This program is very relaxing at first, then gradually steps it up in intensity. I was very skeptical and afraid of hurting myself more by doing this program. Needless to say my fears were for nothing. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a gentle, relaxing way to reduce or eliminate their back discomfort. I can hardly wait to get home every day so that I can “do” my exercises. Thank you Dr. Melleby!
5 Stars Been using this program for 20 years
I have a L5-S1 herniated disc. This is the program recommended to me by my orthopedist. It’s worked for me. I’ve only had minor flare ups every 3-4 years. Check with your doctor before using.
3 Stars DVD Menu not included
This DVD does not have a menu. It is very difficult and time consuming to navigate to the exercises on the DVD. While the results may be worth the investment in this DVD, the quality isn’t. In this age of high technology I expected a quality DVD in exchange for my money.
5 Stars We Call It the Miracle
In our household, we call this the “miracle video”. We’ve been using this video for as long as I can remember – maybe 20 years or so. We have it in VHS and I’m going to get it in DVD. I bought two VHS copies because I was so worried that something would happen to just one and didn’t ever want to be without it! It seems so simple and obvious – and yet the gentle, systematic program that builds so sensibly and gently over time is just the best ever. Having had quite a few episodes of back problems – from acute to moderate – over the years, I can speak from experience with this video. It has been a lifesaver many times over. It is excellent and wise.
5 Stars Great straight-foward tests & exercises to erase back pain
Back pain is mostly due to poor or little muscle use on a daily basis. Weak abs make your back work harder, poor posture puts strain. This course was done with over 1,000 people in the YMCA in the 1980s. Over 80% were pain free within 6 weeks. Only 2 % got worse & 5% felt no difference.
This comes with a nice booklet with many b&w photos so once you are used to it, you don’t have to go through the dvd to get what you are looking for.
This is done on a stage with Dr. Alexander Melleby, M.S. teaching with 2 women in leotards & 2 men in shorts & tube socks demonstrating.
This was redone in 2005 for dvd with many chapters for the intro, who Dr. Melleby is, the reserach, the Kraus, M.D. study, what causes back pain, the YMCA study, self-evaluation, the 6 Kraus-Webber tests & 3 chapters for each of the 2 weeks of the 6 week program.
