24Seven Wellness & LivingBack Pain Relief DVD, Natural Prevention of Lower, Upper, Neck and Sciatic Pain. A Yoga and Pilates Based Stretch Program That Could Potentially Change Your Life!

I recently herniated 2 discs in my lumbar spine, specifically at L4-L5, and L5-S1. I did not need surgery, but needed to rehab via physical therapy. As I was awaiting to start physical therapy I ordered core for life and the secret back pain cure 1 and 2 to help stretch my muscles, lengthening my spine and strengthening my core after my spine injury. These videos have been a life changer. They are amazing. Since starting the series my back pain has improved substantially. There has been many a night that I have done core for life and the secret back pain cure 1 and 2 and it has relieved my pain and prevented me from needing pain medicine and muscle relaxers. Cheryl the instructor in the video not only demonstrates the exercises and talks about correct form, but gives educational information on anatomy and how our muscles in our abdomen, back, and legs are all tied into keeping a strong back. This DVD series has changed my life for the better and has been incorporated as a daily routine.

The other reviewers are right that this is an excellent dvd and I am so happy I added this to my extensive dvd collection. Cheryl gives excellent instruction, clear and concise and easy to follow. This is helpful for all types of pain and injuries. She works to help align the muscles with the bones and help straighten our spine. I have had an array of injuries thru the years due to my Lordosis and I know this will continue to help me. The best part is Cheryl Alker, Founder of 24Seven Wellness & Living truly cares and sent an email thanking me for my purchase and asking if I had any questions. I highly recommend Secret to Back Pain Relief. The other reviewers have found relief to an array of painful issues and my belief is because Cheryl helps align the muscles and spine.

I'm liking the exercises. Really think they are helping my sciatic pain. The only reason I'm not giving it a five? She's really good about good about telling you why you're doing an exercise. I like seeng which muscle an exercise works on. that said, I wish there was just a run through, like a class, of the exercises at the end. This way I could fast forward through the explanations and do the sets.

I haven’t had chance to watch yet because never owned DVD player till now. Finally set up DVD player, so have to give it a try. Knowledge is power and necessary to improve health.

Suffered with sciatica pain for 2 weeks when I discovered this dvd. I ordered it & received it the next day. I immediately did the exercises and felt some relief the first time. Did the stretches 2 or 3 times a day each time getting more relief from pain. The first few days I took a Aleve pain pill after the workout & that helped a lot. After 3 days of that I just did the exercises without the Aleve and I'm feeling much better. She recommended giving it a 12 day trial but I'm going to stick with it because I felt a difference & don't want to go thru this again. It's painful but it's given me enough hope that I will be pain free. Give it a long enough trial & you will feel a difference. It's only a 30 minute workout.

I really didn't like the DVD at all. Even though the information seemed intelligently presented, I found that many of the stretches could actually make my upper back problems worse.I also didn't like the format. The long explanations for each stretch, though informative, made the video tedious to watch more than once. The stretches were impossible to remember without sitting through the lengthy explanations again. There was not enough information given on Amazon about this product either. There wasn't even any information on the outside of the DVD package.I thought this would be a stretching routine that could be followed routinely not long and laborious descriptions of 8 stretches. I am returning this DVD. I'm very disappointed....

I got this as a present for my mom's boyfriend so he wouldn't complain about back pain, he and my mom both used it and said that they never have felt better. I'm trusting their word on this, since my mom and her boyfriend are really critical on things.

The video stops and freezes and breaks up leaving long pauses before it resumes. Very annoying. I do think it has good information if only I could watch it without the interruptions! I want a new DVD that works properly.
