I guess I would buy it again at $5.00, but I wouldn't spend much on this DVD. It was helpful in showing how each of the Thera-cane knobs could be used. But you only need to see it about once or twice. (The Thera-cane is fantastic, though.) If you really want to use the Thera-cane to its best advantage, buy the "Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies, Amber Davies, and David G. Simons. That book and the Thera-cane have given unbelievable relief from many pain problems I had thought I would have to live with the rest of my life.

I've been a thera cane user for 8 years now. It's a wonderful tool to use when I get those back, neck, and shoulder knots but I never fully understood the extensive applications of this cane until finally viewing this DVD. The DVD is very clear in how to properly use the cane. If you own a cane, without a doubt you will learn some new applications and be able to apply them immediately. I would recommend to the copyright holder of this DVD that they update it quickly because the styles and the cinematography leave a lot to be desired.

I suppose it was worth the $5...just barely! It's wonderful that this DVD used the creator of the tool to describe its health benefits and a professional athlete to demonstrate how to use it. But, I have to say that it was like watching a bad school play--that your own child isn't even in! It was almost painful to watch them pretending to be spontaneous!

Besides being cheesy, it also moves much too quickly. There was no way I could keep up with all of the positions they are trying to demonstrate. And as another reviewer mentioned, there are no "chapters," so if you want to see something demonstrated again, it's a bit of a hassle.

However, it IS better than nothing. I did catch enough info to realize that I was not using it correctly, and that there are very many different ways it can be used. I would have preferred a highly detailed booklet, instead. I actually couldn't watch the whole thing, because of the poor quality (seriously, it's like one of those locally made car dealership commercials) and the speed of instruction.

Useful information. Lack of chapters makes this a primitive dvd- you just play it or stop it.

This video, although old, is a great way to help you learn about and get the most out of your Thera-Cane.

It covers the entire body and is very comprehensive. Good camera angles to show you the proper and IMPROPER

ways of using this wonderful tool. Absolutely worth the price!

Watching the DVD was better than reading and understanding the manual that came with the Thera Cane. I couldn't figure out some of the positions but actually watching someone do them made it clearer. The seller is great! After I complained that the DVD was faulty, seller sent me a replacement and to save me the postage and trip to the post office, said just discard it. When I discovered it was my laptop DVD player that had the problem and not the DVD, seller was still considerate. That's good customer service!

Although not the most professionally produced video, it is simple and to the point. Anyone who has any kind of muscular, nerve or skeletal pain using some common sense and this "tool" can get significant results in a short period of time.

No doctor has EVER explained where my pain was or how to alleviate it (except with drugs or surgery). This video explained how this tool and a small amount of time every day can produce remarkable results.

I owned the Theracane for about a year and used it on my back where needed. I did not have any direction, merely used it on sore areas. I watched the DVD and it was helpful to show all the areas of the body that could be worked and the best way to address problems. Worth $5 if you don't want to take the time to read a book but would like to receive the benefits of the product.

I finally got around to viewing the DVD this morning. It's very helpful. I like to see the Thera Cane being used as opposed to just reading about it in the manual. It's not super slick, and they don't always cover using the tool on both sides of the body, but it's enough to know that the instructions are there, and I can pause the DVD to do the other side on my own if I feel the need to do so. My back and shoulders feel much better after my first session. The DVD is very reasonable priced, and well worth the $5.

I recently got my Thera Cane, and then ordered the DVD to learn the most effective ways to use it, and this video did just that. Not interested in 'production' stuff... just wanted the information, and I got it. I liked it so much that I have ordered another DVD for my son, who also has a Thera Cane and uses it, but has not yet seen the information on the DVD. This instruction was well worth the small cost, and the Thera Cane is a great tool.
