Thanks
for your prompt reply. And in answer to your question :"...what
have you been dealing with that resulted in your good results with the
Sacro Wedgy...."
Well, I founded the Gulf Winds Track Club in Tallahassee--in the early
1970's.
http://www.gulfwinds.org/ 25
years ago a s a 37 year old I was a marathoner and 50 mile runner.I
used to run 100 plus miles a week. I thought that I was invincible--wrong.
I ran over 100 marathons and about 6-- 50 milers and hundreds of other
races. In preparing for the "Springtime Tallahassee 10 k"
race 25 years ago-I noticed a "pain " in my hip --at the time
I recorded in my diary -that I didn't know what kind of pain it was--only
that it was maybe bone or muscle or nerve--I had never had anything
hurt like that. I was having the race of my life in the Springtime 10
K --and about 2 to 3 miles my leg went numb-- As it turns out I had
piriformis syndrone and sciatic nerve involvment.
I went to an orthopedist --he offered drugs and then wanted to operate--
and then I went to a Chiropractor that recommended exercises--What I
needed was a sacrowedgy. and to an accupuncturist --that might have
given some symptomatic relief from pain. I got orthodics --which at
the time was the recommended treatment --in running circles-- I just
gave up on ever getting relief from doctors. TOO BAD --I did not know
about sacrowedgy then. In the last 25 years I have tried to restart
my running career (many times)--and my hip has gotten progressively
worse --and not only was the piriformis irritated --the psoas
progressively began to hurt worse and worse --to the point of not being
able to lift my leg without pain--therefore more frustration and pain.
And the range of motion was impaired --due to the pain I did not want
to move the hip.
Every step was pain and I had a noticable limp --for years. I had just
about given up on ever being pain free-- and by chance I did a search
on the web --and came across your ad-box on google.
I now have 2 sacrowedgies--I keep one in my vehicle and use it when
I drive-- And I have one at home and use it 20 to 22 min. each day with
maybe 2 aditional --5 min. sessions of the feet together and knees apart
--very relaxing. I also have a belt --which I have used some -- when
I needed it.
============================
Today --
I am symptom free (no hurting Piriformis)--
I have NO sciatic pain
My Illioposis is pain free.
My hip feels like it NEVER hurt--
what a blessing. And even though I am so much better--now. I am going
to continue with my sessions on the Sacrowedgy.
================
It seems that any health professional I contacted --only offered drugs
and symptom relief--
the sacrowedgy (I feel ) goes to the cause of the problem and allows
the body to heal.
=========================
I want to thank you for making this wonderful piece of equipment available--
It has been a blessing to me.
Cheers,
Andy Burns

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.

Dear Mr.
Ballis, Mr. Field,
Your offer is much appreciated.
After a herniated disk problem led to a major case of piriformis syndrome
almost 4 years ago, I was making very slow progress with physiotherapy
and chiropractic care. The doctors seemed right... I'd have a hard time
walking straight again, never mind getting back to running a 10 K.
In April 2000, I discovered your website, and said what the heck! The
fundamental principles seemed to make sense, and I purchased my sacro
wedgy. The progress accelerated significantly. By June, I started running
slowly again. I was back racing by September, and I have run 5 marathons
(and a dozen shorter races)since. I have also used my sacro wedgy daily
since the time of purchase. As you can understand, I can't find any
solid parts to my elevation pad to rest my sacro wedgy on anymore.
After my success with it, my sister-in-law tried it and ordered a lady
sacro wedgy last summer. And I will be getting one for my fiancée
in the next few weeks...
I did have a question for you, though. Those elevation pads... do you
make extra thick ones? Within a few weeks, I felt I wanted a little
more of a stretch, so in the last three years, I have been using a version
of Melville's "Moby Dick" that neatly fits under the elevation
pad with minimal spillover to get me extra elevation. Just checking...
In any case, thanks again for the generous offer, and as you can tell,
I am a big fan.
Good luck spreading the good news.
Take care.
