Movie Review: 3 back surgeries in one year - feel great after this dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the misfortune to require 3 back surgeries in the last year - one laminectomy/discectomy, one fusion w/o instrumentation and one 360 fusion with instrumentation and bmp, all at the L5-S1 level. I have been healing finally, but very stiff. After sleeping or sitting, I walk like an 80 year old until I get loosened up. I am now 6 months out from my 3rd surgery. Fusing well, and wishing to strengthen my core muscles and get back to more of my regular life. (I just turned 41).
This dvd is very beneficial. It is broken up into 2 15 minute sections. I started off just doing the first 15 minutes, which involves simply relaxation and stretching. Of course I am paranoid to ever hurt my back again or herniate another disc, so I was worried that any program might be too strenuous for back surgery patients. This one is not. I love the feeling I have in my back, shoulders, hips and really entire body after these sessions.
The second 15 minutes is a little tougher, and my body can't quite do exactly what is suggested, but I don't push my self. I go very slowly and just enjoy the beginnings of flexibility and a decrease in stiffness and pain.
All back surgery patients know that the key to future back health is to have our core muscles strengthened and doing their jobs. I was out of commission for over 16 months and my core muscles have been on permanent vacation for quite a while. I am excited with this dvd and look forward every morning to the experience.
Movie Review: Excellent for a beginner like me
Summary: 5 Stars
20 years ago I had a motorcycle accident that reeked havoc on my lower back. Then five years ago I was playing football and again injured my back. I "slipped" a disk and a month after the incident I could not sit down without excruciating pain from my sciatic nerve. I've been to medical doctors, therapist, acupuncture, chiropractors, etc to no avail. In November I had had it with the constant nagging pain in my lower back and decided to do something. I read review after review on Amazon concerning yoga and back pain and decided on this DVD. I had tried yoga before but found it very painful at times because of the state my back was in. This video is GREAT for someone like me who needs to strengthen his or her back and abdominal muscles while not further injuring anything. I'm a very physical person who loves to work on my car and motorcycle as well as our house but would be in excruciating pain by the end of the day. After religiously following the two routines daily in this video I am for the most part pain free (and in a much better mood). I'm still aware of the pain in my lower back, but it's quite a bit better and I'm sure that it will subside the stronger my back becomes. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has suffered like I have. It is a great place to start from if your back has lost its ability to maintain its flexibility and strength. I will start looking for a more advanced yoga DVD for strengthening and maintaining my back integrity.Movie Review: Unbelieveable - Instant - Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a busy mom of three -barely 5 and under. I'm in great shape....BUT, I carry around a 27 lb. 13 month old all day and have herniated L5 & S1. I also separated my pelvis TWICE during childbirth which has made my hip area very weak (and i believe contributing to the back problems). I opted to try this before going to the physiatrist who I'm sure will refer me to useless Phys Ther.
Anyway, for under $30, I invested in this DVD and one other one. I just completed it and feel amazing! Now, I know when I wake up in the morning, it's not going to be perfect, but I feel like I literally created space between the disks in my back. The relief is instant. I'm not a veteran in yoga, so I really like how the instructor was very specific about how to attain the positions. She kept reminding you to relax certain areas and I think that it made for a more effective session. A lot of stretches I've done for athletics and working out, but I wasn't doing them nearly as effective as this instructor had me do it.
Your body feels a lot like it does after a massage, so I would recommend a lot of water after the session...I think it helps a lot.
I'm so excited. I highly recommend it. Save some money on your doctor co-pay and try it.
Movie Review: Super video for bad backs
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this tape after pulling my back out for the "100th" time this summer. I was so down in the dumps from walking around crooked and having every move cause spasms in my back that I searched amazon for some hope of a video. I purchased this because of some of the reviews I saw and I must say my back has been going strong since. The tape consists of two fifteen minute sessions that focus on breathing, stretching and strengthening the body. After doing the whole tape at once for a couple of weeks I have now gone to doing each session every other night. I find 15 minutes is a short enough time so that I don't try to find an excuse to not do it. I find Mimi Solaire's voice very soothing and she gives concise directions. I also like that this video gets started right into the session without a lot of babble like some yoga tapes I have tried. If you have suffered with back pulls and spasms and being totally out of commission with your back then I would strongly urge you to try this video.Movie Review: The best dvd for sciatic pain.. this is relief
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this dvd from Amazon and I am so glad I did. I was suffering from sciatica and was in intense pain. I was on a muscle relaxer, ibuprofen for pain, was in the emergency room to get 2 shots, plus I had a cortizon injection from my doctor. I did the ice, the hot showers, hot baths, heating pad. I did some research on the internet and saw that some psychial therapists and even chiropractors recommended yoga for pain management. I found the Back in Shape dvd, had it sent fast and within 4 days of using it I was noticing alot of relief. Within a week to a week and a half I was off my muscle relaxer and pain medicine. I am now pain free and I owe it all to this dvd and the power of yoga. Some people may laugh and think there is no way yoga will help. Trust me try this. You won't be sorry and I am still doing it almost every day to keep my back healthy as I have had upper back pain before too. This was a God send for me and I hope it will be for anyone who purchases it.
