Customer Testimonials
In 1993 I suffered from a large lumber disc prolapse (“slipped disc”) at the L5-S1 level which was unusually serious because it resulted in a neurological deficiency which meant that my muscles had atrophied (wasted) and I had severe difficulty in walking. Because of this I had to have an operation (a discectomy) in order to take the pressure of the disc off of the nerves which it did successfully did but, of course it could not reverse the atrophy that had already occurred in my hip and leg. Because these muscles were very weak they constantly became irritated and would go into spasm and I was in constantly in and out of pain, which could only be relieved by going to the physical therapist. The pain would only be relieved on a temporary basis. My walk was also very bad and I had a limp as I had difficulty raising myself onto the ball of my foot. Eventually, I was diagnosed with piriformas syndrome. Despite going to the physical therapy for about 4 years on a weekly basis and following an exercise regime, the pain carried on. In February this year (2004) I saw an advertisement for the sacrowedgy on the internet. I read the information on the website and saw that the concept for the sacrowedgy was based on an osteopathic “sacro-cranial” technique whereby the sacrum is raised thus allowing the muscles to relax.I recognized this because my physical therapist had been using this technique and placing his hand underneath my sacrum in order to raise it up in an attempt to get the muscles to relax, however, this was not as successful for me as the sacrowedgy was because: (a) it is difficult for a therapist to place their hand in this position for the 20 minutes plus that it take for the muscles to really relax and; (b) it is difficult for the therapist to raise their hand sufficiently high enough for the muscles to relax. So I decided to take the plunge and order the “wedgy.” The first time I had to use a towel instead of the “wedgy” since the “wedgy” was a bit too painful for me. At the time when I first lay down with the towel my muscles were in spasm and I was in a great deal of pain. To my great surprise after twenty minutes I was out of pain and have been pain free ever since. I use the wedgy nearly every day and now not only am I now out of pain but many of the nerves and muscles that were “lifeless” started to come back to life and my walking has improved significantly as has my posture. The sacrowedgy was the only thing that improved my muscular problems and I shall always be grateful to Coach Meares for inventing a product that actually worked when all else failed. I am sending a copy of my medical records to the Cindy and Dino the Sacro Wedgy people so that my testimonial is backed up by corroborative evidence.
