Male between
ages 41-50, involved in sports, hurting 1 month from leaning over wrong.
Comments: I just received this tool and it already seemed to help relieve
some of the pressure in my pelvic area, especially relieved the pressure
when walking. Thank you for this great product.

To Whom
It May Concern:
Thank you for shipping me the male version of the Sacro Wedgy. As soon
as I laid on it, I knew it was the right one. With
this letter, I am returning the female version of the wedgy. I have
found relief in the use of the male wedgy. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Doreen Bohanon

Thank you
guys for creating this product. Sciatica/ITB problems bothered me for
a good 3 weeks in Nov'02. Tried a lot of remedial solutions but seemed
to get zero results. Got my sacrowedgy on Thanksgiving Day. From thereon
using xtraining (sta bike and walking) as an alternate to running, I
was able to get back to running on Jan '03. This month of March, I ran
the LA Marathon + bike tour and Catalina Marathon. I'm not 100% back
but so grateful that I was able to participate on marathons again. Your
customer reps were very helpful in expediting my order quickly and responding
to some of my questions.

Mr Ballis
I received the Sacrowegy on the day you sent this E-mail, i have been
using it eveyday since and i am more than pleased to say i am getting
pain relief already, from my severe case of Sciatica, and troubled Gluteals.
This product is absolutely amazing, for an item that is really so simplistic.
Further to my E-mail i sent from my home address, i am really keen and
interested in marketing the Sacrowedgy here in Sydney, and possibly
all over Australia. I wish to continue to liase with you in order to
possibly get something started here in the land downunder.
Anyhow i will keep in touch, and continue to use this amazing device
to further relieve my pain and realign my hip area. But most of all
prevent this pain from ever coming back.
Regards

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.

Hi there - I didn't know where to send this, but I just wanted to say
thanks because the sacro-wedgy has done what 3 running doctors and 2
physical therapists and 6 weeks of physical therapy could not resolve.
I have been running for just over 3 years, and somehow in the past year
I strained/pulled/injured my periformis muscle. I tried running doctors
and was told everything from "its your hip flexors that are too
tight", "stop running", "its your hamstrings"
but no one was very helpful. The physical therapist, while dogmatic
about trying to find a fix, couldn't do anything with massage and strengthening
the other leg muscles. $200 worth of co-pays later, I was out on the
street, still in pain.
A friend I run with suggested the sacro wedgy, and I have to admit,
I was skeptical, but when the pain got to be so bad that I couldn't
bend over, I called her up and borrowed an old one (she's got a stack
of them in case they one day are no longer available!) and started lying
on it twice a day for 20 minutes. After a week and a half, my butt felt
better but would still plague me when trying to run up hills and curbs.
I continued using it twice a day, but then two days in a row, I lay
on it for over 40 minutes, and, miracle of miracles, I've been pain
free since. I continue to run and do yoga almost daily, and will continue
to lie on my sacro wedgy when the need arises. Thanks, and might I suggest
that you think of attending the health and fitness expos that usually
run the days before marathons to promote this wonderful accessory?
Thanks for helping me,
