5.0 out of 5 stars Really Amazing results within 24 hours, 6 Oct 2005

P. Hayler - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Treat Your Own Back (Paperback)

You will think that I have been paid to write this but I have not. I suffered for several months from severe lower back pain and sciatica in both legs. After being told by medical profession nothing could be done except painkillers I had treatment by osteopath and accupuncture which made no difference.

The book arrived yesterday and after doing the exercises last evening and more important changing my way of sitting whilst watching TV or at the Computer I find this morning the pain has almost gone already.

I thorougly recommend this book to people with low back pain and sciatica. Incidently I am 72 and my email address is peter@peterhay.plus.com if you want to ask me any questions please do. I hope that the Author gets to read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, 26 July 2005

C. Pritchard "strider" (Herts,United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Treat Your Own Back (Paperback)

In 97 I had severe lower back pain and sciatica, due to a prolapsed disc at L5. The exercises in this book alongside 4 visits to Physio for traction fixed the problem. I stuck with the exercises and eventually became pain free. Now I use them to manage the symptoms when they start up and keep any pain at bay. I have been successfully running and cycling ever since (not all the time) to a good club standard.
Can't recommend it enough...Hope you enjoy being pain free as I have and save yourself some cash too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only thing that works, 7 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Treat Your Own Back (Paperback)

I read this book about 2 and a half years ago and that is about how long it had been since i have been to an osteopath. If you follow the treatments laid down in this religiously you will be able to cure your own back - but only if you stick to the treatment. I do fitness and a lot of exercise and now I know that when my back gets stiff i have a sure fire way of curing it . BUY THIS BOOK - IT WORKS.
