Weiss HHC 23rd ASG Unit 15228 APO, AP 96271 011-82-31-690-7835 mason.weiss@us.army.mil March 30, 2004 Dear Sirs: I wanted to take a moment and let you know how your device has literally changed my life. Please feel free to use this as a testimonial. To put it simply, the sacrowedgy is the best $30 that I’ve ever spent on anything. Here’s some background. I am 32 old attorney and military officer. I began running long distance during my senior year of college when I was 21 years old. For five years I maintained a good program, ran two marathons and countless other races. While I had injuries here and there, like IT band problems, I never had any back pain. What I did not realize at the time is that my hips and back (which were never strong to begin with) was getting increasingly misaligned. I never worked on strengthening my stomach, abs, and core muscles and eventually came the straw that broke the camel’s back. In November 1998 when I was 26 years old I woke up one morning, a few weeks before I was supposed to run a marathon with an indescribable pain in my lower back that was so terrible I could barely get out of bed. The pain shot down my leg and was horrible. I could think of nothing that I’d done in the recent past that would have caused it. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it was the culmination of everything wrong that I’d been doing the previous five years. After six weeks of getting told nothing of any value from my general practitioner and orthopedist, and feeling no change I reluctantly saw a chiropractor. The first visit was incredible. I felt immediate relief, but then a few days later, felt bad again. This cycle continued for several months. I ended up taking about 18 months off of running and trying to do low impact exercises. For the next 4 years I spent thousands of dollars on chiropractic treatment, massage therapy, and any thing else I could think of. I made a lot of progress from that first day of unbelievable pain and the chiropratic care and massage therapy was indispensable and I do not discount it. However I felt like I was never really dramatically improving, just managing the pain and that I’d be stuck with this for the rest of my life. In late 1999 my massage therapist gave me a sacrowedgy though he thoroughly endorsed it I only used it a few times and then put it away in the closet. What a tragic mistake that was. I did not realize at the time that sacrowedgy is not a quick fix, but a tool that you have to use regularly. In late 2002 I learned that I would be stationed in Korea for a 12-month tour beginning in July 2003, which meant probably no access to chiropractor, etc. I decided that I needed to find some way to fix myself or I would not make it for the year as I had been seeing a chiropractor between once every two weeks to twice per week for the previous 4+ years. At the end of 2002 I changed my exercise routine to start strengthening my lower back and abdominal muscles. For the last 18 months I have done a routine of pushups, pull-ups, crunches, situps and lower back exercises about 4 days a week and continued running and swimming every day. In February 2003 I decided that I would use the sacrowedgy every single day and just see what would happen. For the last 13 months I have used sacrowedgy literally every single day without fail except for the day that I flew to Korea. I use the 1” thick pad and keep the wedgy in the heat protective case. The way that I’ve made time to do this every day is by laying on it while on the floor before I go to bed at night. I simply fall asleep on the wedgy listening to relaxing music and I usually wake up after about an hour or more and then get into bed and sleep the rest of the night. After several months of doing this routine I started notice dramatic results. Since arriving in Korea 9 months ago, I have not seen a chiropractor yet my back has felt better than any time in the last 5 ½ since it started hurting. When I use the sacrowedgy, I can actually feel it working and the sounds my back and hips make when realigning into their proper position. I spent a lot of time reading your literature and trying to understand exactly how the sacrowedgy works and why it works. This helped me to feel confident that what I was experiencing was not just a result of the placebo effect. The sacrowedgy works because its based on sound principles, that make sense. I cannot explain how much this tool has changed my life. I am returning to the U.S. in a few months and will soon begin training for another marathon, something that I haven’t done in 10 years and felt that I’d never be able to do again after my back had starting hurting. I have made it through nine months without seeing a chiropractor. I was hoping to just not get any worse over this year, but I have actually improved! If I were stranded on desert Island, this is one of the few things that I would want with me. Thanks for the terrific product!!! Mason S. Weiss
