Dozens of Health Problems Are Caused By
This One Simple “Thing”…by Dr. Mark V. Wiley
Consider, for a moment, this list of 10 ailments.
Tempero-mandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
“Knots” in the back of the neck
“Rocks” in the shoulders
“Sore” chest muscles
General irritability
Poor sleep
Chronic “achy” feeling all over
Numbness or tingling in the arms and/or hands
Trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain)
Did you know that all of them could be caused by (or stem from) the same underlying condition? Can you guess what it is?
The answer is Forward Head Posture (FHP). That’s right, all 10 problems are associated with the same underlying cause.
Forward Head Posture is one of the most common postural problems in our so-called “modern” society. In actuality, it is the modern lifestyle that is responsible for it-as we’ll see in a minute. In essence, FHP is the result of either repetitive forward head movement, or the carrying or holding of the head in a position where the ears are forward of the shoulder plum-line.
Proper postural alignment finds ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and ears all falling along the same vertical line. The relatively heavy head must directly rest on the neck and shoulders, like a golf ball on a tee. Yet, FHP finds the head sticking out, forward of the shoulders, with the ears in line with the chest or front of the deltoids.
Pro football players in the NFL have a physically damaging job. They earn high-salaries by tearing up their bodies week after week on the field.
The athletic trainers are the folks who care for them and are charged with the responsibility of keeping these engines of the billion-dollar football industry working.
No group of people is more familiar with what works and what doesn’t work to treat nagging aches, pains and sprains than these trainers.
Just ask Ronnie Barnes, President of the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society…
“It’s a big job, because football is a collision sport,” he says. “There are lots of injuries to the musculoskeletal system. Lots of illnesses.”
“Athletes should not be treated any differently than regular patients, except that in sports, there is a real sense of urgency for answers. Because once a player gets injured, in about six days, there’s another game day.”
So what does Ronnie Barnes use to treat the aches and pains of his players? The same formula available to you in Rub-On-Relief. IN fact, he says it’s “the most effective ointment we have used to combat pain, sprains, strains, arthritis, stiffness, tendonitis and impact contusions.
“We are able to substitute NSAIDs, aspirin, ibuprofen and Naproxen without the risk of possible side-effects to the players.”
My Experience With The Ancient Healing Powers of Qigong
By Steven Hefferon, Certified Massage Therapist
As a massage therapist and healing arts practitioner I noticed that I was loosing my touch, my mojo.
In other words, I was getting drained of energy in my sessions and was on the way to becoming burned out. But something happened in 2005 that changed this negative into a positive–I bought and started to use the Spring Forest Qigong For Healing Program.
In my Physical Therapy training nothing was taught about the body’s energy systems, as they are viewed and understood in Acupuncture or Qigong. Like most people, I stayed away from what I did not understand. But here I am 15 years later admitting to you that it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!
These days, whenever I hear about something different, I always investigate the topic a little more so I don’t miss out on a possible life-improving or life-changing concept. And as a student of science I love to share and help people develop their awareness of what is possible.
Our bodies are Energy contained inside our suite of skin. Bones, blood and organs are just different forms of that energy. As is every thought, feeling and emotions we ever have. I am writing you today to tell you that not understanding now to best use and build your own energy, may allow your mind and body to decline and lead to a life of suffering mentally, emotionally or physically.
In my own practice, I stated to burn out and I needed a boost of something to help me rekindle my passion for helping others. I was becoming exhausted in every way and knew I had to do something.
Then one day I started researching “Energy Healing” without knowing anything about it. After looking into dozens of modalities, I finally narrowed my focus on the ancient Chinese art of Qigong. With 3000 years of documentation, it seemed to make sense. And with millions of Chinese practicing it daily and being among the most healthy humans in the world… difficult to argue!
One of my criteria was to find a master from China to learn and study under. While I am sure there are many qualified Americans practicing Qigong, from a professional point of view I wanted knowledge from someone who not only understood the topic, but who was raised in its environment.
I found all I was looking for in Master Chunyi Lin, a Chinese who immigrated to the US in 1994. Since English is his second language, he speaks slowly. You know what? This is great because he uses simple words to explain a very complex idea of Energy as Medicine.
What I personally learned from Spring Forest Qigong is only a small example of how it can help everyone. In fact, it can slow, reverse and at times cure so many of the health issues we face every day, such as: stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, hypertension, chronic pain.
Now I am not one to completely change my lifestyle just to help my health. I do what I can, while maintaining the lifestyle I have chosen for myself. And this is where the Spring Force Qigong program was perfect for me. Why? Because the program didn’t require a lot of time and was easy to learn.
I was able to learn how to detect my own energy blockages. And as Master Lin says, within 5 minutes or less I can begin to “harvest qi”. In other words, to build that vital energy that is so necessary to feel good and be healthy! I did what I was instructed to do, and I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome I feel.
Qigong is also beneficial for back pain sufferers, such as you. How? By improving your breathing. This method alone improves the oxygen ratio in your blood. The blood carries nutrients to the body, the muscles, the tendons and relaxes them. And the expansion of the ribcage while breathing in the special Qigong way, opening the spaces between the rib, reducing the number of impingement or pinched nerves in the spine.
What does all this mean in day-to-day terms? A clearer mind, improved mobility, stronger concentration and memory, improved mind/body connection, and a feeling over improved overall vitality.
The program is so simple: You do not need to be an expert to start the training; You can do this at any age; You can perform the exercises even if you’re in pain, because they are so subtle; The exercises are easy to learn and to do everyday; The exercises are easy on the joints with no impact and no receptive stress injuries; And best of all you will learn to heal yourself and share with others the healing possibilities!
I would just like to mention that this program also includes specific instructions for improving the functions of your kidneys, liver, lungs, heart and stomach. It also teaches you to release blockages that result in chronic conditions, such as:
Contents of your Spring Forest Qigong Level 1 (Basic):
CD 1: The Miracle of Qi Energy
CD 2: The Secrets of Qigong
CD 3: Exploring the Active Exercises
CD 4: Helping Others Heal
CD 5: Active Exercise
CD 6: Sitting Meditations
Course Manual
Instructional DVD
Bonus: Inner Beauty Meditation Music CD
In closing, I would like to say that the only limitations to your healing potential are your own thoughts and beliefs. Believe in the power of Qi energy. Believe in yourself.
Take a moment to download an informative booklet today and find out for yourself first hand, like I did, just how the Spring Forest Qigong for Health program can help you feel better, live better and be happy.
Read this immediately if you’ve ever used
massage to treat painful muscles, or plan to get
a therapeutic massage anytime in the near future
From the Desk of:
Steve Hefferon
I have a confession to make as a massage therapist.
If you’ve ever gotten a massage to treat muscle-pain in your neck & back, legs & hips or some other part of your body… you probably didn’t need to spend the money.
Because there are FOUR MAJOR FLAWS with massage therapy you should know about.
Massage Therapy Flaw #1: Massage is not a one-time fix for muscle pain. You feel great when you get one and for awhile afterwards.
But a week or two goes by and your muscles start to hurt again. For lasting relief you’ll need to go back often, and at $80-$150 a pop massage therapy gets very expensive over time.
Massage Therapy Flaw #2: Because it’s so expensive you put off going for months at a time. Some people almost never get the treatments they need for no other reason than they can’t afford them.
It’s a shame. You shouldn’t have to be Donald Trump to get relief from painful muscles.
Massage Therapy Flaw #3: You’re not getting instant treatment. You have to schedule a session, wait around with painful muscles for days or weeks.
It would be so much better if you could get a deep-tissue massage whenever you want it.
Massage Therapy Flaw #4: You can walk away feeling worse than before the massage. Some people hate getting deep-tissue massages because they feel so bad afterward.
Why? Because aggressive massage creates micro-tears in the muscles, often activating dormant trigger points, causing pain.
In a perfect world you’d have a personal
masseuse CAREFULLY massage away your aches and pains
each and every night…Well, say hello to a perfect world ….
You’re going to love this.
There is a way to get a “personal masseuse” to give you gentle, deep massages every day of the year – and you don’t have to spend $30,000 to keep him on staff.
I’m talking about a home massage-therapy system you can use right away to melt away the tiny knots in your muscles.
For about 40-cents a day you can get a daily deep-tissue massage to relive life’s aches and pains – with NONE of the drawbacks of traditional massage therapy…
You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars all year long to get relief… You don’t need to put off getting your massage because it costs so much… You don’t have to wait a month in between massages …
You don’t need to suffer through aggressive massages because you’ll have all the time in the world to get a gentle massage …
Your headaches… neck & jaw pain…
back-pain… joint-pain… even the numbness
in your hands and feet – are all likely caused by trigger-points in your muscles!
Here at The Healthy Back Institute we’ve talked a lot about how trigger points – the tiny knots that form in your muscles – are the source of so many types of pain …
Discovered by President John F. Kennedy’s doctor, trigger points in muscles are increasingly becoming recognized as the cause of up 75% of muscle and tissue pain. Seventy-five percent!
These dime-sized landmines in your tissues cause your muscles to tighten and shorten. And because they tighten your muscles they start to change the way your body moves.
They limit the movement in one muscle causing it to weaken over time.
You’ve probably experienced trigger-point pain before – here’s how to tell for sure …
Have you ever tried to rub a sore, painful muscle and no matter what you did you couldn’t quite “get” to the painful spot?
Those are trigger points!
It’s called “referred pain” and it’s when the real cause of the pain is a point in the muscle but you FEEL the pain several inches away – so you can never quite find the perfect spot to massage.
I’d like to send you a 90 minute video
and a trigger-point guidebook to show you how to identify your body’s trigger-points
In them you’ll get an atlas of your body’s trigger-points so you can find the (often surprising) points to relieve pain you may have had for years – including …
Trigger-points causing mid-back pain
Trigger-points causing low-back pain
Trigger-points causing upper-back pain
Trigger points causing hip and leg pain
Trigger points causing neck pain
Trigger-points causing shoulder pain
And more!
Plus, you’ll get the home-treatment system that
applies deep pressure to silence your trigger-points
Developed by a board-certified neurological chiropractor, this advanced self-treatment system gives you a massage therapist on call.
Easy to use, it completely relaxes your muscles by using your body weight to apply deep, gentle pressure to trigger-points in your muscles.
Plus, your Trigger Point Self-Treatment System is really like having a small army of therapists to help you because you get special treatment techniques to fully deactivate your trigger points … Gentle Deep-Tissue Massage: If you’re body is sensitive you can use the Variable therapeutic compression technique to get relief without overworking your muscles …

Fibromyalgia? The Position Release Technique is perfect for you, if regular massage has ever hurt you, this methods is perfect …

And that’s just for starters!
Plus your order is 100% RISK-FREE because you have

Discover the Healing Wonder of Trigger Point Therapy
Back pain is huge. It costs the US economy billions of dollars annually from lost wages and productivity. And everyone has it.
But did you know that while most doctors give different names to back, neck and shoulder pain… most people’s pain is cause by the same thing? And that is Trigger Points!
Trigger Points were unheard of 20 years ago in the mainstream medical community. Today, they are a much studied and talked about phenomenon causing chronic pain and suffering in millions of people.
Paradigm is a popular word used frequently today to describe “that model from which we see our lives and/or reality”. In this sense, it means context.
Context is defined as something that “defines the meaning or a particular expression or experience” such as pain. We all have a context for our physical pain. This gives it meaning and ultimately directs all our decisions for dealing with it.
The most popular paradigm/context for physical pain is: Physical pain has a physical source. Find it. Deal with it and the pain will go away. Physical pain has no other source other than physical. This is the attitude held by most allopathic doctors (modern Western medicine) and most people who see them as patients.
Others, myself included, have come to believe that human beings are more than just physical bodies and that simply reducing our physical pain to a physical source is both reductionistic and ignorant (in the sense of ignoring useful and often obvious facts).
BackJoy is revolutionary, easy to use, and completely portable sitting device that prevents back pain from occurring when you sit, so you can finally sit comfortably, anywhere. What if my back hurts when I try sitting on BackJoy? Sometimes changing your sitting posture can cause temporary discomfort. Should you feel increased tightness when first using BackJoy, limit usage to15 minutes, then 30, and upward over a few days or weeks. With gradually increased usage will come strength and lasting relief. If there is any increased pain, stop using BackJoy. If BackJoy does not help relieve your back pain, consult a Medical Professional.
How do I use BackJoy?
It’s as easy as 1-2-3. There are no straps or buckles.
1. Place it on your seat so the logo will be under your left thigh. Do not put it behind your back!
2. Sit on it and pull it forward until it’s snug against your buttocks muscles. Adjust until you feel the cupping action!
3. Skootch. Lean a little forward, push with your feet to “skootch” the BackJoy with your buttocks towards the rear of the seat until you find your most comfortable position. Sit back and relax in comfort!
When should I feel results?
Many users experience immediate relief, and some require several weeks of regular use to feel the benefits of BackJoy. Your results will depend upon your underlying conditions and how often you use BackJoy. To get the quickest results and greatest benefits, use BackJoy according to directions as often as possible, everywhere you sit.
What if I don’t feel anything when I sit on BackJoy?
If you don’t feel any change when you sit on BackJoy, make sure you have closely followed the sitting instructions and your buttocks muscles are firmly cupped. The best way to feel the BackJoy difference is this: Sit on BackJoy for a period of time, then remove it from under you. Feel your gluteus muscles flattened under your body weight. Now put it back. Feel your pelvis floating in a cradle of muscle tissue.
Why is BackJoy Different?
BackJoy’s Orthotic Cradling System™ makes it the only device that prevents the pain causing tightening of back muscles that is triggered when the gluteus muscles flatten under the user’s weight when sitting. This patented Orthotic Cradling System™ allows BackJoy to relieve more pressure and strain than any other device or chair available. BackJoy does not rely on gimmicks like heat, massage, or overly soft foam to trick you into thinking it is doing something for you. It is when you don’t feel much of anything that you are doing the most to prevent back pain from occurring, or developing a back injury from sitting. This means you should not feel much at all, just comfort.
Will BackJoy work for my condition?
BackJoy provides relief by reducing the pressures that can aggravate the underlying causes of a wide variety of acute and chronic back pain such as low back pain, herniated and degenerated discs, back injuries, sciatica, and many more. As with any medical question, consult a medical professional to see if BackJoy will help your specific, underlying issue.
Pressure
Tightness
Soreness
Aching
Strain
Burning
Why is BackJoy so small and comfortable?
BackJoy must be smaller than your buttocks. It is designed to cradle the
4″-5″ space around the two sitting bones at the base of your pelvis. It is most effective for adults from 118 to 285 lbs. It is because BackJoy is so small that it can literally float your spinal system in natural cushioning. It’s the floating in your natural soft tissues that feels so comfortable.
Will BackJoy prevent back pain from occurring?
Sitting for long periods of time can cause repetitive stress injuries, which may lead to a variety of back problems. BackJoy can be used as a preventative maintenance device to help you avoid a repetitive stress injury caused by long term sitting, or to prevent old back pain from recurring.
How do I clean my BackJoy?
BackJoy’s fabric has been treated with a stain guard solution. Wash with mild soap and water or standard upholstery cleaner. You can treat your BackJoy as if it were a piece of furniture at home with fabric that has been protected against stains.
Where can I use BackJoy?
Turn any seat into an orthotic pain reliever! Using BackJoy on any of the below sitting surfaces will improve your posture and allow your spinal system to float in a comfortable cradle of natural cushioning. Only BackJoy can prevent the strain caused by muscular flattening that will occur in all of these sitting situations.
Can I travel with BackJoy?
Back joy is Easy To Travel With! You can’t damage BackJoy. Roll it up or bend it anyway you need to fit it in a briefcase or carry on. Your body heat will return it to shape. Slip BackJoy in your carry on any way you want. Bend it around your Lap Top for extra protection.
Is BackJoy too small for me?
BackJoy comes in one size, which will fit just about everyone. At first glance, many people think that BackJoy will be too small for them to use. In fact, BackJoy is not supposed to cradle a user’s entire buttocks at all. BackJoy’s size and shape were developed to support the bones found at the base of your pelvis, not your entire buttocks.
BackJoy is designed to fit the medically and scientifically accepted average distance between the sitting bones (the ischial tuberosities) that rest at the base of the pelvis. Unlike arm and leg bones, the pelvis has a very small range of widths, depths and heights from person to person no matter what gender, age, race, or height that person might be. The buttocks, of course, are made up of soft tissues, which are very different from person to person. BackJoy works by cupping the around the pelvis area, it is able to deliver an effective method of back pain relief for people as little as 90 pounds or as much as 400 lbs.
Do I have to sit a certain way for BackJoy to work?
Your back is unique. With BackJoy, you can sit the way you want to sit. Peer reviewed orthopedic back journals suggest the best way for any individual to sit is in the position they are most comfortable. That’s why BackJoy is designed to work like a personalized orthotic for your unique back. It will adapt itself to accommodate a “slouched” posterior pelvic tilt, a sitting straight-up anterior tilt, and everything in between. No matter what position you like to sit in, BackJoy’s Orthotic Cradling System will remain active.
What will my doctor say about BackJoy?
BackJoy can work hand-in-hand with your therapeutic regime. Bring this brochure and your BackJoy on your next visit to learn how. Ask your doctor to recommend a sitting posture for you that will transfer the most pressure and strain off your specific underlying condition. BackJoy will not work for you if you have been confined to a wheel chair, have any form of muscular atrophy, or if you have trouble standing or walking for any length of time. Before using this or any other product, consult a physician to make sure the origin of your back pain is not due to a condition that requires medical attention.
Does BackJoy work on soft couches?
Yes, BackJoy’s Orthotic Cradling System will float your spinal system over a soft sitting surface just like it will over a hard chair. Though it may not feel like BackJoy is doing as much work, don’t be fooled. When you sit down into the cushions of a soft couch, your gluteus muscles can stretch and flatten more than they would in a hard chair. Only BackJoy can prevent this from happening on soft couches or in your favorite chair.
