Upper Back Problems - Back Exercises Worked

One (long) month later with twice daily your round of back exercises, I survived my first day today without painkillers.

It seemed to take very long but after three weeks of exercises things started to move and my back pains decreased.

Especially the conviction that my body is able to heal itself motivated me to keep doing the exercises despite the pains in the beginning to get in the right exercise position in the first place.

Following a car crash over fifteen years ago, I have been left with a weak back which periodically, during the last decade, has caused me a lot of pain and absence from work. Two years ago, I woke up unable to move (after carrying heavy shopping the previous day!) my back had completely locked and I was in a lot of pain which forced me to go to A & E where I was given morphine and admitted for bed rest.

A scan revealed a 'bulging disc' and the only way I could get back on with my life was by taking heavy duty painkillers which basically 'sonked' me out for most of the day.I was using a walking stick initially, walking sidewards and could not run at all. I was in a lot of pain and my back would just 'cave in' at any given time.

The consultant recommended an operation which I did not find appealing given some of the stories I had heard.

Hence I did some research on the net and came across your sight and subsequently downloaded your booklet. I started doing the exercises straight away, every day before going to work.

My mobility gradually improved and the pain subsided, which enabled me to significantly reduce the painkillers. Following a further scan and appointment it was discovered that the disc was actually gradually slipping back into place naturally on it's own and my consultant felt that the best course of action was to allow this to continue.

Two years on and hundred's of your exercises later I have not experienced a relapse and no longer require surgery to rectify my back problems. I do the exercies every morning without fail and have now combined these with weekly swimming and aqua running sessions. Coming across your web sight definitely saved my back and me from any further severe pain.

I still have 'twitchy' days but the exercises certaintly keep my back in check and of course carrying less shopping!:-))

Thank you very much,

regards

thanks for your book, its really my miracle this year. i have know back pain for more than four years now the pain killers couldnt even work. i have seeen many doctors am told its athritis i can always live with pain killers, now i was wating t go for MRI coz of the peristent problem.

I will make sure i do them continously for five weeks and i will keep you updated.
Thanks again i thank God for you

Many thanks for the PDF version - much easier to download.

I'm always trying to research better methods for treating lower back pain and find a lot of what you state in your book makes sense and is easily relayed to patients.

Again, thank you.

Regards,

I am very happy to announce that my herniated disc is totally healed!! I did what you showed me to do, I kept moving, did the herniated disc exercises, took some supplements and that did the trick.

I now work out three times a week again, I also picked up my old hobby of icehockeyskating again.

I also started working more as well. I have been stimulated very much by your book, it has activated me in taking an active approach to my herniated disc. It has all come right again, I really wanted you to know this. Kindest regards.

 I have been doing the exercises for 2 weeks and my sciatica has completely gone.

Previously I could not walk for 6 months with this and I only wish I had the knowledge of the exercises at that time.  

Once again, Thankyou

I am very thankfull that I found you on the web.

After at least 30 years of back trouble thanks to a minor soliose and a herniated disc I am now almost totally pain free after having done all back exercises for just one month.

I can lift my own groceries out of the trunk again and every once in a while even walk on high heels again! I would like to shout it from the rooftops. Life is great again and I will certainly discuss this with my neurologist.

Good luck with your further initiatives,

Thank you very much...

Your back guide is very useful. It's like a summary
of everything i read, but all together.

Thank you.

 Actually, I am suffering from herniated disc for almost 2 years. And recently, my back pain is getting worst.

That I cannot get up in the morning the way I used to before. I ask my brother to purchase that book (Beating Back Pain) for me.

And I thank the Lord and you for this book. I am so amazed because on the next morning, after doing the said back exercises, it works on me!

Now, I can get up in the morning the way I used to, although there is still some pain, but I believe that I can beat this back pain as I go through my journey.

Once again, thank you very much and more power!

God bless you all!!!

I slipped a disc in my lower back 3 years ago and was told that I needed a discectomy to put it right.

Because I had to wait for an appointment and I was in agony I scoured the internet for ways to help repair my back or at least get some relief in the meantime.

I came accross the "Back Pain: Good-BYE" exercise program and was relieved to find something so easy to read that explained everything with practical and sensible ways of easing my considerable pain….

….could feel the results immediately.

After a month I decided not to have the operation and after 18 months of exercising every day, my back was strong enough to start playing squash again.

It now feels better than ever and instead of having twinges all over my body from squash, I do the exercises before I play and have had no injuries or even twinges since I went back to playing over a year ago.

Best wishes,
