Customer Testimonials
For Cindy, my Alabama Angel, and Sacro Wedgy (Sacred Wedgy), my light at the end of a dark tunnel:
Being led to you was the result of a true spiritual epiphany, i.e., a voice deep inside assured me that my body really could heal itself and that I would -- once and for all -- find the way. I believe that everyone at some level knows that self-healing is possible but discovering the key to make it happen often seems virtually impossible. Indeed, I felt blessed when Google guided me to Sacro Wedgy. Prior to reading about the Wedgy and talking to Cindy I had almost given up hope of ever again sitting, standing, sleeping or especially walking with ease. Negative thoughts began to skip through my mind like ‘how nice it would be to suddenly be struck by lightning’. That’s how desperate I felt at times because of pelvic rotation from an S.I. joint injury coupled with relentless psoas muscle inflammation and associated radiating pain. Eight months have passed since I began diligently using my Sacro Wedgy and I am so excited to be exiting that long, dark tunnel.
There were times at the beginning when I would get discouraged but, if not for the gentle coaching from Cindy, I may have given up. Cindy never gave up on me. She talked me through exercises specific to my needs for the day, and often those needs would change from day to day. Cindy is the most caring and patient health professional on the planet. I call her my Alabama Angel and I’ll bet lots of other people do too.
Previous to November 2014, which is when I received my Sacro Wedgy, I had spent the better part of two years feeling like my psoas muscle weighed 300 pounds – I am 5’2” tall and weigh about 110 lbs. It had become thoroughly exhausting just carrying myself around! Therapies such as P.T., O.T., MFR, TENS, acupuncture and even steroid injections had become not just a way of life . . . they had become my life.
In an instant my life story turned into a drama. On September 16th 2012 I literally “hit the ground running”. Actually, I was power walking, jammed my foot into a deflected sidewalk and came down hard on cement. After falling forward and breaking my right wrist in 5 places, tearing part of a rotator cup in my right shoulder and sustaining a severe whiplash in my neck, I catapulted back and landed on my right hip. Of all those injuries, including surgery with screws and cement in my wrist, the most debilitating one was instability of my S.I. joint accompanied by bursitis in my right hip and unbearable compensatory pain in my left psoas muscle.
The Sacro Wedgy and Cindy (Saint Cindy), I admit, have become my best friends --The Wedgy, my constant companion. It’s small enough to carry in a purse or briefcase. I can now drive, go to the movies, have dinner, watch T.V. and even sleep with it in comfort. These simple activities had become very challenging and often impossible. Simple stuff I used to take for granted I appreciate so much now that they have returned in my life. Stuff like taking long walks with my husband again . . . when it had become difficult to walk to the front door or up the stairs to our bedroom. Another simple but favorite past time used to be cooking together. And we are back at it. I can now stand long enough to actually cook a meal by myself if necessary but I still prefer for him to do the chopping.
I am not looking to climb a mountain any time soon, but I can climb up stairs with greater ease. I may even take over laundry detail with facilities located in the basement. It’s so thrilling to be able to make a plan to meet with friends without fear of having to cancel due to pain at the last minute.
Because of occasional flair-ups there have been times during the last two years where I have had to accelerate the usage of the Wedgy and its cousins, i.e., Neck Support, Sacral Stabilizer Hip Belt and Still Point Inducer. But, it’s so comforting to know that I can fix it without outside intervention except maybe a call to Cindy. Talk about customer service!
The best “thank you” I can give Sacro Wedgy for giving me an active life back is for my testimonial to reach someone else in similar pain and inspire them to do the same. It is so worth the effort.
