Customer Testimonials
From: Kenneth L. Malamud, M.D. The Center for Health and Well Being The Sacro Wedgy is an important and complementary component of the lifestyle changes I recommend to patients (after appropriate w/u) with both upper and lower back pain. Some "Pearls" to consider when instructing patients just beginning to use the Sacro Wedgy are: 1. Ease into the Sacro Wedgy by using relaxation and meditation techniques to relaaaax into it. 2. Use guided imagery techniques in conjunction with the excellent exercise and stretching techniques recommended on the Sacro Wedgy website and instructions to ease your sacro-spinal system back into balance. 3. An excellent Relaxation/Meditation technique that I recommend while relaxing on the wedgy is a breathing exercise that is very easy to master. INHALE DEEPLY THROUGH YOUR NOSE to a count of 4. HOLD YOUR BREATH to a count of 7. EXHALE THROUGH PURSED LIPS to a count of 8. (A hissing sound is preferred.) Repeat this 8-10 times. An advanced technique is to hold the tip of your tongue to the junction of your upper teeth and hard palate during the entire breathing exercise. In Eastern Tradition this completes an Energy Circle and intensifies the Relaxation Experience. Feel free to contact me with any questions concerning on this or other techniques that can be used with the wedgy. Dr. Kenneth Malamud
