J.F. a 35 year-old female has struggled with back pain since an accident while moving furniture. The onset of pain was very quick, it became almost a daily battle, and the pain got worse. It also began to cause problems surrounding the relationship with her husband. She said it was hard to get out of bed, change clothes, and even put on socks. For the first few weeks of the YogaMedics Spine Care program, she was not completely pain free. But after half way through the program she had pain free days! J.F. also mentioned that sitting at work in certain chairs used to shoot a horrible pain up her spine and she now can sit in those chairs without problems after doing YogaMedics.
H.S. is a 63 year-old male who says he will be practicing yoga with YogaMedics for the rest of his life. “Yoga has given me a path to regain my strength. It has afforded me a workout that I am pleased to accomplish without hurting myself. Your program makes me feel good about my accomplishments and given my mental health back to me, focusing on the positive. Through my efforts and the guidance of YogaMedics’ instructors, I am able to resume a positive life style and function in a better way. I realize that I will never be pain free and I will deal with some issues for the rest of my life. But with the continued help of YogaMedics, I can handle the daily routine and be functional again.”
L.P. is a 57 year-old female with a medical history including depression since the age of 15 and a long battle with chronic back pain. The pain was caused by significant weight gain as a result of her inactivity caused by a stroke. In addition to the chronic back pain (primarily upper), she also suffers from severe balance problems. Remarkably, after just 12 weeks of YogaMedics her back pain was improved by more than 75%. This resulted in her decreasing her pain medicine dosage and frequency. “I am now more positive when I wake up, I am more productive at work, and am even productive when I come home from work instead of going right back to bed!” Her overall assessment was that YogaMedics was 100% successful!
S.W. is a 55 year-old female whose medical history includes osteoarthritis due to aging, a herniated disc that occurred in 2002, nerve damage in her right shoulder and whiplash in 2005 from an accident. All of these conditions involved muscle spasms, chronic pain, limitations of daily activities, and loss of muscle mass. In the past she was a very active, outdoors person who loved camping, biking, and canoeing, but her medical conditions changed her lifestyle dramatically. “I just wanted to be able to walk my dog without pain.” she said. Past medical treatment for her conditions involved back surgery (Spinal Fusion of 3 discs), daily pain medications, and physical therapy. All of these treatments were not able to give her the pain relief she needed in order to sustain mental well-being and perform routine physical activities. During the 12-week program she said there was a point where there were no muscle spasms. “There was even a two week period where I didn’t have to take pain medications at work or at home” S.W. claims.
