EVEYONE!!!! LISTEN UP!!!!
Let me tell you my story; I'm 63 and 6ft 3in; at 19 I fell on my back on a cement floor in a factory; (the days before physical rehab). Over the years this injury caused me great discomfort and pain. Every so often I would move the wrong way and "boom", my back would "go out" and I would be off my feet for a week. I used corset-style back braces and pain pills to some relief. In 1997 I finally went to an orthopedic surgeon after a particularly bad time; x-rays showed deterioration of two discs (age related); again I used pain pills that hardly worked, and again a corset-style brace. In 2006 I had a bulging disc; horribly strong pain pills and (finally) physical rehab which helped a great deal; however, I still had a "bad back" and decided on some chiropractic help; the adjustment helped a great deal but $50 a pop, so I couldn't go as often as I felt I needed and Advil became my best friend. (How many of you can relate to me so far?) 3 weeks ago I saw a Back Majic ad on TV and went to the net and bought it at Amazon which I concider one of the most important things I've ever done! After my first 10 minute session I got up and immediately walked straighter, (hips forward, shoulders back); immediate lower back pain relief ( I no longer take Advil); my breathing improved and each breath was more satisfying than ever before; my hearing improved and all sounds were "fuller"; I felt more alert and awake and not lathargic and achey; my day was richer and I got more rest at sleep, and without concentrating on pain and discomfort my mood has improved immensly; I feel like a human being again and would pay $100 or with no problem for this device, that's how important it is to me. I remember reading something Hippocrates wrote;"Look to the spine for the origin of disease". This device aligns the spine allowing proper nerve function and stretches the back muscles and abs that support the spine and you can definetly feel all this work right away; because of the stretching don't over-use it in the beginning; at first you might feel odd and uncomfortable while using the device because of the stretching and aligning but hang in there. I followed the advice in the booklet and it worked fine. I also use it vertically while sitting in a chair or the couch watching TV and use it for driving which I'm surprised no one else tried; it beats all the rest of the pillows and back rests out there. If you've had back surgery or spine fussion I wouldn't think this would be good for you; definetly ask your doctor. It's AMAZING and has made a big difference in my life after so many years of discomfort and agony. Good luck to you!!!!
