Now, if you’ve done all of those and still have some lingering pain, then you might want to try this device… but it would be in my opinion, a mistake to do so beforehand. Get the basics right first, and you likely won’t have to ever get that far… in fact, many people find that all they need to do is use our Lose The Back Pain program to identify and address their muscle imbalances and that gets rid of most of their pain.
Also, as I mentioned in the video, it’s not that this device doesn’t provide some benefit, it can… but it won’t improve you muscle imbalances… it won’t eliminate trigger points… it won’t provide significant decompression of your spine… it won’t improve your nutrition… but it can help you relax and it can provide a gentle stretch. And we have had some customers who wrote in to tel us they tried it and liked it.
But again, if it were me, I’d pass.
Hope you found this review helpful and please feel free to share your thoughts below.
I’ve been receiving a ton of feedback for my new book, “The 7-Day Back Pain Cure” and as I was reading through it all I was reminded about one very important thing…
And that is, your attitude will determine whether you are ever able to get lasting relief. Let me prove it to you…
Here’s some feedback I received from a reader:
I haven’t finished the book yet, (on page 116) but I’m beginning to get discouraged because you keep talking about how you are going to help my back pain but it consists of buying or getting something else. It’s like a carrot that you can never reach.
Disappointed,
Name withheld to protect the identity of this loser
Yes, I said it… LOSER!
See, we can choose to be winners or we can choose to be losers. Losers like to blame all their problems on other people and outside circumstances and don’t like to take any responsibility over their situation.
Winners on the other hand, are determined to achieve their goals… they don’t blame others, instead they own their situation and take action to fix it or improve it. Getting rid of pain is no different.
Here’s some more proof… more feedback for my book:
Your back pain book is excellent, and I am applying the principles in it to my neck pain. Have also watched several of your online videos, including the inversion one and the neck one. I have bought a funny pillow, am holding myself properly (when I remember!) and trying to remember not to tip my head forward and while driving. Thank you so much for the generous package of CDs and the book, which you surely are sending out at an initial financial loss to yourself.
As for the inversion machine, the far infrared heat pad, the enzymes and the knobby board that punches out trigger points, I am making my own stuff here, hanging upside-down off an exercise chair and over a large exercise ball, using a long bean bag that I heat in our microwave, and lying on a home-made board to get the knots out of my back. If these don’t help, I might have to spring for some of your equipment. Your “global” approach is absolutely right, and many back-pain sufferers are surely thanking you for that. All best to you in your good work, Jesse.

First, thank you Susan… you are a WINNER.
Not only is Susan thankful for the knowledge she’s gained from my book (which again is FREE!) and she is taking action. She’s not complaining that she actually has to do something other than read the book… and she’s being creative to find ways to try to accomplish the same things as various treatment devices like the inversion table, the trigger point system, etc.
Every day that we wake up we get to make choices. I am challenging you to make sure the choices you are making are the choices that a winner makes.
And don’t underestimate the power of this… this is why some people get relief in days or hours and others struggle for years or decades.
Also, if you are offended by this, then get lost. Unsubscribe from our email list and go on being a loser… whining, complaining, blaming others and stay in pain. But I hope you won’t… because I do want to help you, but only IF you want to help yourself and if you are going to be a winner.
One last thing, this subject is certainly worthy of many many hours and this post is simply to point out the difference that attitudes make. I highly encourage you to read the book “The Story of You” by Steve Chandler. It’s an excellent book… and one of my all-time favorites (and I’ve read a ton!). I don’t get anything for recommending it… other than the satisfaction of knowing a few winners will go get his book, read it and use it to improve their lives.
We recently made the first of many donations that are part of the launch of my new book, “The 7-Day Back Pain Cure”
Not only are we giving away copies of the book for free, but we are also donating $2 of the shipping fee to one of two great charities: Habitat for Humanity and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital (you choose!).
As you can see, the first donation was $1198 to Habitat for Humanity and while I’m the only one in the picture, our entire team was very excited to be able to make such a large contribution to a great organization like Habitat. We’ll be making another similar donation to St. Jude’s this week.
Thank you so much to everyone who was a part of this. This truly turned out to be a great way to help a lot of people at the same time.
If you have not yet requested your FREE copy of my book, do it now because I’m not sure how much longer we’ll continue to offer it for free. As you hopefully can imagine, we are losing quite a bit of money with this offer.
You know the feeling. A pinch between the shoulder blades. It Simply tilting your head all the way back is painful. And that crick in your neck when you turn your head, ouch!
Whether you sit all day at a desk working on a computer or use your neck and shoulders all day like a hair stylist, an upper back pinch is an increasingly common – and difficult to eliminate – back pain complaint.
Almost universally, the pinch you feel between your shoulder blades is the result of long term postural dysfunctions. Put simply, you’ve held your head, neck, and shoulders in a poor postural position long enough that you’ve created muscle imbalances.
Muscle imbalances are caused when some muscles become overdeveloped and tight while opposing muscles are weakened and stretched out of their normal position. That pinching feeling between your shoulder blades is your body letting you know there’s a problem. Left long enough, muscle imbalances and the resulting postural dysfunctions can lead to long-term health consequences such as a herniated disc.
Long-term correction requires going to the source of the problem. Muscle balance therapy is an effective treatment for the upper back and neck pain resulting from muscle imbalances by stretching only the tight muscles and exercising only the weakened muscles to restore balance.
While you work on correcting the muscle imbalances causing the pinch you can try these other tips to ease the severity of your neck and upper back pain symptoms:
Take regular stretch breaks — try shoulder shrugs, raising your shoulders towards your ears to create a slight tension in your neck and shoulders and hold for 3-5 seconds; relax and repeat
Did you know that sitting down is one of the worse things you can do for your back? That’s because most people sit incorrectly. Don’t move… Let’s take a quick inventory of how you’re sitting right now.
Is your lower back slightly arched or is it flattened against the back of your seat? Are you sitting up straight or slumped back in your chair? Is your head and neck aligned with the rest of your spine or are you tilting your head forward?
Chances are your answers show you already have poor posture in one or more of those areas. Poor posture while sitting quickly leads to back pain and other health problems. It can also worsen existing conditions like a herniated disc.
While we can make it a habit to watch our posture, it’s easy to fall back into a routine of sitting incorrectly. That’s why using some form of lumbar back support may be a good idea whenever you sit down, making better posture more or less automatic.
In a pinch a rolled towel or small pillow behind the lower back can help. A better long term solution is to use a lumbar back support cushion or other form of back orthotic to ensure proper posture and spinal alignment while sitting.
When purchasing a lumbar back support aid, look for one with as many of these features as possible:
Provides support while sitting naturally
Provides full lumbar back support
Uses a contoured design to fit lower back
Reduces pressure on the sacrum and tailbone
Relieves direct pressure on the spinal column
Does not restrict normal arm movement
Fits most seat types, particularly office chairs and vehicle seats
