When I stumbled upon this video more than 10 years ago, I was desperately seeking relief from the pain I had suffered for years from a laminectomy on the 5th lumbar disc. I was caught in the vicious grip of prescription painkillers. Although my surgeon was a good one, he didn't have a clue when it came to rehabilitation. Within 6 weeks of starting these exercises I was free of the painkillers! My strength and mobility are better today (age 48) than when I had the surgery (I celebrated my 30th birthday in the recovery room!). How disappointed I am that it is out of production. PLEASE re-release this video so others can benefit from it as I did.

Whereas this videotape is made available to individuals via the program's official website, it is being reintroduced through corporations and associations to ensure that each participant's progress is monitored through the first exercise level (three levels total). This is to ensure proper application in accordance with the original protocols established by the program's founder, Dr. Hans Kraus. It is recommended that individuals participate by encouraging their employers to book the program, for optimum benefit.

Ditto the previous reviewer. I went from a near immobile state to an athletic condition using this video. I had tried traditional GPs, chiropracters, vitamin therapy, etc and was told by doctors that back surgery was the only way to cure my chronic back pain. The simple exercises on this video cured my back problems in 6 weeks with most improvement coming the 2nd & 3rd weeks. That was 10 years ago. I loaned it to my uncle with the same results. Came here to buy one for a friend and dissapointed that not avail.

I have checked this video out from the public library several times because it is the best therapy for back pain that I know of, besides massage. The narrator takes you through a series of easy motions, mostly floor excercises, that alternately strenthen and stretch the muscles of your neck and back. The narration is accompanied by soft music.

I have a tendency to let tension accumulate in my neck and back until my head begins to throb. Even my jaw begins to ache from tight neck muscles. Doing these excercises gets me to relax, release tension, and bring my body back into balance. I usually notice an improvement right away. I highly recommend it to my friends and family.

As an RN and long time back pain sufferer and back surgery veteran I can't impress enough on my fellow sufferers the relief that this tape will bring you. You will think that something so easy and simple couldn't possibly help you..but it WILL!! You will be pain free just as long as you do these exercises as directed. A small price to pay for 30 relaxing minutes out of your day!

I've been using this video for five years and my back has never been better. I had two surgeries for ruptured discs. After the second surgery I got this video and started doing the exercises. I wish someone had told me about it before my first surgery. The tape is divided into three exercise routines. They take 15, 20, and 30 minutes respectively and are for use when you are in pain (15 minutes), recovering from pain (20 minutes), or simply want to avoid pain (30 minutes). The exercises are not strenuous----in fact they are relaxing. However, if you are in pain, or your back feels weak, these exercises will relieve your pain. I checked in because I wanted to buy a copy for a friend and was disappointed they weren't making it anymore. Tell the publisher they are foolish!!! This tape is simply great!!!

I had a ruptured disc, and a pinched nerve in my back. I had been to several doctors, and the last one, nerve specialist said all that was left was to have surgery. I just mentioned to a lady that I was in so much pain that I could not sit down, and what my problem was, and she said "I have what you need" she told me she had previously had 3 ruptured discs and this had helped her. I ordered the video and in the second week the pain went away. I finished all 6 weeks, and I have never had another problem. That was about 9 years ago. I highly recommend this video, and encourage you to stick with it. Don't give up! It works!

I am disappointed that this video is no longer available. It transformed me from state of constant pain to pain free. Nothing else comes close.

I loaned it to a (former) friend, who never returned it.

PLEASE bring it back!

This program of exercises for troublesome backs is great! There are several levels of difficulty, you can choose which level to do. The music is nice and relaxing, as is the narrator's voice. I wish it was available on DVD.

I echo the disappointment of another reviewer that this Video is not currently available. My wife has used the exercises presented on the Video for over 10 years to relax and relieve pain of the lumber and neck areas. I have tried before to get a copy, but couldn't locate one. Within three weeks her pain symptoms would disappear as she learn to relax with the exercises presented. I hope that the Video will be re-released so that others may benefit.
