24Seven Wellness & Living Back Pain Relief DVD, Natural Prevention of Lower, Upper, Neck and Sciatic Pain. A Yoga and Pilates Based Stretch Program That Could Potentially Change Your Life!

I recently herniated 2 discs in my lumbar spine, specifically at L4-L5, and L5-S1. I did not need surgery, but needed to rehab via physical therapy. As I was awaiting to start physical therapy I ordered core for life and the secret back pain cure 1 and 2 to help stretch my muscles, lengthening my spine and strengthening my core after my spine injury. These videos have been a life changer. They are amazing. Since starting the series my back pain has improved substantially. There has been many a night that I have done core for life and the secret back pain cure 1 and 2 and it has relieved my pain and prevented me from needing pain medicine and muscle relaxers. Cheryl the instructor in the video not only demonstrates the exercises and talks about correct form, but gives educational information on anatomy and how our muscles in our abdomen, back, and legs are all tied into keeping a strong back. This DVD series has changed my life for the better and has been incorporated as a daily routine.

The other reviewers are right that this is an excellent dvd and I am so happy I added this to my extensive dvd collection. Cheryl gives excellent instruction, clear and concise and easy to follow. This is helpful for all types of pain and injuries. She works to help align the muscles with the bones and help straighten our spine. I have had an array of injuries thru the years due to my Lordosis and I know this will continue to help me. The best part is Cheryl Alker, Founder of 24Seven Wellness & Living truly cares and sent an email thanking me for my purchase and asking if I had any questions. I highly recommend Secret to Back Pain Relief. The other reviewers have found relief to an array of painful issues and my belief is because Cheryl helps align the muscles and spine.

I haven’t had chance to watch yet because never owned DVD player till now. Finally set up DVD player, so have to give it a try. Knowledge is power and necessary to improve health.

I'm liking the exercises. Really think they are helping my sciatic pain. The only reason I'm not giving it a five? She's really good about good about telling you why you're doing an exercise. I like seeng which muscle an exercise works on. that said, I wish there was just a run through, like a class, of the exercises at the end. This way I could fast forward through the explanations and do the sets.

I have suffered from sciatica for years. My condition has worsened over the years, but for the last 6 months I have really felt changes that were very concerning to me. I'm an active person but was finding I had to spend more time in my recliner than ever because of my discomfort. I decided to try The Secret Back Pain Cure, thinking it just another program that would probably not help, or that I would not follow through. I watched the whole DVD and listened to everthing that the instructor said. It made great sense to me, but am I going to be able to do these stretches? I admit that the first couple time it was difficult. But after completing the session I felt so good. I have now completed 18 sessions and I feel much better. Taking medication can dull your pain or relax your muscle but it is temporary. I am much more flexible and all my issues are improving. I'm in this for the long run!!! I personally thank Cheryl Alker for this program. I would give this program five stars +.

Suffered with sciatica pain for 2 weeks when I discovered this dvd. I ordered it & received it the next day. I immediately did the exercises and felt some relief the first time. Did the stretches 2 or 3 times a day each time getting more relief from pain. The first few days I took a Aleve pain pill after the workout & that helped a lot. After 3 days of that I just did the exercises without the Aleve and I'm feeling much better. She recommended giving it a 12 day trial but I'm going to stick with it because I felt a difference & don't want to go thru this again. It's painful but it's given me enough hope that I will be pain free. Give it a long enough trial & you will feel a difference. It's only a 30 minute workout.

The video stops and freezes and breaks up leaving long pauses before it resumes. Very annoying. I do think it has good information if only I could watch it without the interruptions! I want a new DVD that works properly.

I am a senior so getting down on the floor to do these stretches is not for me. If I would be more limber, the exercises would certainly benefit me but sadly I am unable to do them.

Programma di esercizi di stretching molto chiaro (purchè si comprenda l'Inglese), ed assolutamente efficace.Dopo un episodio grave di lombosciatalgia (che già mi accompagnava in forma lieve da un po'), mi sono messo alla ricerca di rimedi fai-da-te attuabili in casa (il tempo per la palestra non c'è più), e mi sono imbattuto in questo video.Senza nemmeno fare tutti gli esercizi proposti (alcuni risultavano poco pratici in ambito domestico), mi ha risolto il problema. Basta una mezz'oretta di esercizio, neanche tutti i giorni.Da alcuni mesi, per pigrizia, avevo smesso di fare esercizio ed il problema si è ripresentato puntualmente, rendendomi persino difficile il sonno. È bastato seguire il programma una sola volta, e la notte stessa ho dormito bene. Soldi ben spesi. Peccato che, da quel che vedo, non sia più disponibile sull'Amazon italiano.

I purchased this DVD to help with my back pain, but gained so much more than I had hoped. Not only did it alleviate the pain I had been experiencing in my lower back but my posture has improved dramatically. My friends have noticed as an equestrian it has been invaluable with regard to my riding position. I not only recommend this DVD to back pain suffers, to people wanting to improve their posture, but all equestrians whose tight muscles may be restricting their alignment.

The stretches and information detailed in this DVD are really concise and easy to follow. Many common types of back pain are addressed and it is very clear which stretch will help each problem. I have been doing the stretches daily and feel a huge improvement in my overall mobility and general stiffness already.

I have had this DVD for a month now and can say that it is really very good. I am motivated enough by it's content and results to do is every day/other day.It is not a 'cure all' but it is amazing at explaining, showing and helping you to relieve muscles that are so tight, that back and shoulder/neck pain are inevitable.The sound quality is not fabulous but that doesn't matter all that much, it is only a bit crackly when you turn it up.One word of warning is that the Hip Flexor stretch is not achievable for anyone other than the most supple people (like those demonstrating it). My physio recommends an alternative based upon a more upright form of position which is much more achievable and effective. Nonetheless I feel compelled to say that this DVD has turned me round from being completely incapacitated to having more range of movement than I have had in a very long time.

I'm very disappointed that I'm unable to do the majority of these stretches. Most exercises require one to be lying on the floor, which, due to knee problems, I'm unable to do. I tried some by lying flat on the bed, but I didn't feel the positions were completely safe or effective this way. Other exercises require one to be able to kneel or have one's knees bent to quite an angle, which, for the same reason, I can't do. This is in no way the fault of the instructor or dvd. Had I had this about three years ago before my knee replacements I think it would have helped my posture and back problems a lot. I just felt it was important to warn anyone who has knee problems the probable difficulties. Sadly I'm going to have to return the dvd.P.s. If you DO have mobility problems and find most exercise dvds unsuitable, I can highly recommend the "move it or lose it" dvds. I'd forgotten I have them, so have dug them out to use them again!
