Customer Reviews

Truly like a good physio in your home, but doesn't do it all
This is wonderful if you have either of 4 of the basic forms and sources of back pain that I'm guessing about 90% of people suffer from.

You can choose your symptoms, design a program for you, and the exercises are well demonstrated, the DVD interactivity is excellent and easy to use. You will simply be better off with this DVD -- it really is like having the advice of a physio right there.

My only reservation is that it doesn't cover the kind of sciatica pain that you get radiating down your leg after trauma to the lower back. I don't think that is all that rare, but not covered really in this DVD.

For general preventative care and back health, recovery for the majority of sport and daily life stress related injuries -- this is a fantastic tool. Just sorry my personal injury wasn't better dealth with :(

I like it
I recently bought the Back Pain DVD, was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to use. Having previously been to a physio it was useful to be shown how to do the back exercises again to ensure I was doing them correctly. The re-runs here are useful too. I've now bought the leg pain DVD too.

Home Physio Treat your own back pain
A superb presentation on all methods to help maintain a heathly back. I would highly recommend the DVD to anyone from 12 to 90 years old. It certainly helped me remember the exerices I was told to do by my physio.
