Instant Relief indeed!,
By Theresa Reed "The Tarot Lady" (MILWAUKEE, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Instant Relief: Tell Me Where It Hurts and I'll Tell You What to Do (Paperback)
I have Peggy Brill's other book, The Core Program and I have gotten impressive results from it. I used to get searing hip pain after doing housework or intense activities - but after working with the Core Program exercises, my hip pain is gone. So, I decided to get her new book, Instant Relief. The exercises are easy to perform and described very well. The illustrations are helpful (I would have preferred pictures, but oh well.) Most importantly, they WORK. Oddly enough, I pulled my hamstring a week after buying this book. I followed the exercises for hamstrings and the pain was gone - pronto! Thanks to Peggy Brill for another well done book!

This is a great reference!!!,
By L. Norris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Instant Relief: Tell Me Where It Hurts and I'll Tell You What to Do (Paperback)
This book does exactly what it says: When things go wrong (and as we near 60, we find they do...) this is the first place I find I can turn for so many of the day-to-day issues our bodies have. The doctor was amazed when, after foot surgery, I regained flexibility that I wasn't supposed to have. My husband referred to this book for a knee problem he was having, and prevented damage that could have happened as he waited for physical thereapy sessions to begin.
In both instances, we showed this book to our doctor and physical therapists who were impressed and gave definite approval. It's important to keep in mind that bodywork (physical therapy..yoga... pilates) still needs to be done, but the techniques given here can actually help one reduce the need for pain meds and (as in my husband's case) possibly prevent damage that could happen before prescribed medical treatment can begin. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

Finally, Something that Works!,
By Stephanie Branon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Instant Relief: Tell Me Where It Hurts and I'll Tell You What to Do (Paperback)
I never take the time to write a review, but this book is brilliant and worthy of my effort. No more wasted time at Physical Therapy. Do it yourself--cheap, easy, fast. Brill's first book Core Therapy is essential to ending the pain. She understands the physiology of the spine and addresses the real problem rather than the symptoms. This is my third week of daily fixes and no more MRI's and doctors not looking at the big picture.
