have you tried this for back pain? i have my first appointment coming up and i hope it works.

Ya tried,

Couldnt really get my head around it to be honest. I had constant back pain could'nt walk very far, etc etc. Tried this, and to be honest I found it a total waste of time, someone rubbing my heading and pressing on the bones in my head............. sorry did not work for me. I am sure other out there might have a better story.

Have you got your back checked out by your Dr. Ortho, Neuro Surgeon, have you had MRI and X-rays done so you know exactly what is wrong.
Just so you wont waste time going the alternative route, when you might need a bit more.

Round 1

thanks for answering. i hope you are better now.

Bonzer,

I have tried this on and off in my therapy program and some days it works and some days it doesn't...but...when it works I walk out feeling about 3 inches taller! It's basically guided relaxation - moving from the sympathetic nervous system to the autonomic nervous system - point being to get out of the 'fight or fligh' reflex. I would give it a try...all that can happen is it isn't successful...in addition...give it a couple of attempts because for lack of a better description in can be hard to get in that state of mind...but when you do I think you will be suprised!

thanks for the info jayvue, much appreciated.

Bonzer,

Also, if you get it to work - there may be classes you can take to do it yourself...at least that is what my husband told me...I'm looking into it right now!
