Customer Testimonials
Dear Cindy, Thank you so much for all your help. My lower back and hip are starting to feel better. The longer blue wedgy for men has helped a lot. Now my hips relax right away. I'm short, 5'1"but my hips are narrow. I've been using the wedgy for three and a half months, two to four times per day. A common explanation I've received from chiropractors and natural doctors concerning my lower back is that as long as it took to get to where I was in my health is how long it will take to recover my back. Over the past twenty years I have experienced a steadily progressing tightness in my lower back. But I didn't really take it seriously until there was constant pain and fatigue when doing anything. Just standing in line at the grocery store my legs would buckle so I had to hang on the counter or my cart. Walking became extremely difficult since about four years ago. I felt that I was lifting lead bricks with each stop. Then last year, '99, I made up my mind to do whatever it took to recover my back and my ability to walk without assistance. At first I thought I had MS. Then I really checked through tests and found I had Epstein-Barr virus in the fluid of my backbone and with further testing I found I had severe osteoporosis in my lower back and hip. I got rid of the Epstein-Barr virus and am working on the osteoporosis intensely besides using the Sacro Wedgy. But I feel that it is the Sacro Wedgy, which is helping my body to remember how it should be and that is a very powerful help in correcting itself. You see, twenty years ago I had four children each born one year apart by C-section. My husband is Japanese and I have noticed that Japanese babies can be heavier than western babies, even though they may be physically small. My children were heavy but I didn't notice it so much at the time. Later, I had some experience with caring for American children and Japanese-American children. It was then I realized there is a difference. I'm only 5'2" and I've had a wonderful life but I do wish I had the Sacro Wedgy a long time ago. At this rate maybe by the time I'm 54 I'll be myself again. I used to be a fast runner. My children say when they were little I didn't miss a thing. I was everywhere! Now, they see my lying on the wedgy so often but they notice my pace, although limpy, is quickening. I'm encouraged and the fact is my sciatic nerve is not unbearable. Also, sitting with the hip belt on is possible now. I'm wearing it all the time for strength. It feels so good. I can't imagine going to a chiropractor every time my back is out. It's so often! So, I just lie down on the wedgy and relax. I use a buckwheat pillow under my neck and after about ten minutes my back feels so good. Then I rotate my hips letting each one fall down - back and forth a few times then back to regular position. Sometimes when I'm really sore I just stretch my back by pulling my knees to my chest and take a deep breath. Then let it out and finish the 20 minutes. It's amazing; by 20 minutes every time I'm perfectly comfortable. So, I quickly put on the hip belt to "keep it" as long as possible. The wedgy is a fine invention and so is the belt. You have said to use it on a regular basis. My husband thinks once a week should be fine. Of course he doesn't have a constant problem, just sometimes. He'll surely use it then and realize what I'm talking about! It must be wonderful to live and work at something that is so beneficial to so many. Thank you and have a very healthy happy holiday. Sincerely, Wendy Katakura
