"I
have read several books and articles on the subject of sciatica
and none has been as clear and helpful, in fact the [exercises]
described in some are exactly contrary to what soothes the
sciatic nerve.
I have been doing almost everything wrong and
subsequently, getting no relief. Last night [after reading Stop Sciatica Now] I had the first half-way decent
night sleep in many weeks after doing your exercises. I wish
I had found your book sooner. Thank you again."
Marlene Smith, AZ.

| I can't thank you enough. The book arrived Tuesday and I got right on it. It is every thing I have been looking for 2 years!!!!!! My understanding of this pain is something I can deal with now. [It's just Thursday and] I'm already doing better; I was so afraid to move or stretch because of pain. Now I know it is ok [and] work through it with the stretching.
God has really answered my prayer, I knew all along that I would have this problem all my life, because of the shape of my spine. So I changed my prayer, and asked the Lord to teach me how to move, and now I see hope and light at the end of this!!!
Thank you so much...I just wanted you to know how happy I am and my family thanks you too. I clean houses for a living and it is making a HUGE. difference in my life so soon. WOW. Love and peace to you.

"The diagrams are splendid and the book is based on convincing principles. Seeing the body as a piece of engineering is most illuminating. We both write books in our own fields (Education and Banking) so we appreciate the clear structure of the book and the inviting writing style.
The advice about sensible sleeping positions has helped one of us enormously. We also think it is most generous to allow people to download chapters free of charge so that they can receive advice immediately. Many thanks for your help."

“My coach was Pamela Kihm. After working with her for about a month, my sciatic pain was gone. And it's been under control ever since. Pamela Kihm didn’t give me a fish. Pamela Kihm taught me how to fish!
It’s nine years later and I’ve never had another sciatica attack. The funny thing is…I didn't realize how unusual nine years without sciatica pain is, until last year.
When it finally did occur to me, I called Pamela immediately and asked her to write a book to help other sciatica sufferers.”
Marcia Coulter, President of Health Enhancement Resources

The Method
| The Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education and “skeletal engineering” are the foundations of Stop Sciatica Now. |
I have long been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I currently recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain....I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method can help older people achieve greater range of motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies.
Dr. Andrew Weil |

After years of trying to move through an active life in spite of severe pain, doctors informed Moshe Feldenkrais that knee surgery might help. However, they admitted there was only a 50% chance his pain would be eliminated. The doctors also admitted that surgery might cause him to lose some of his mobility. This was the 1940's, twenty-some years after he had torn his knee at a right angle playing soccer while he was at Sorbonne University in France earning his engineering degree.
Instead of having the surgery or continuing to force himself through pain, Dr. Feldenkrais zeroed in what he was doing differently when the pain wasn't as severe. He applied engineering principles to his own body. Those around him couldn't help but notice his improved movement and lack of pain. He soon began helping others and the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education developed. He eventually trained assistants to accommodate the large number of people needing help. Now there are over 3,000 Feldenkrais Practitioners worldwide. Click www.feldenkrais.com to find a Feldenkrais Practitioner near you.

I purchased the download book Stop Sciatica Now on 11/15…. I contacted you on 11/17 to get a full refund, which was refunded to my account on 11/17, thank you.
The reason why I'm contacting you again is that I want to pay for the book.... I [gave] the book a second chance and I believe that it has changed my life....
I drive a lift truck at work now for 17 yrs, which has no suspension and no air in the tires so when you hit a bump it goes all the way through you....Because I was sitting wrong my low back was taking a lot of abuse.
After reading the book again, I now ...sit in the correct way, and as you stated in the book, the bumps are actually therapeutic to my spine.... Yesterday afternoon I actually got off my lift truck at work pain free, which I thought would never happen. Three weeks ago I thought I would have to sign for another job, not to mention I was wishing for death because of the excruciating pain I was experiencing. Also along with the sciatica I would experience a stiff neck, which now after doing the exercises rotates freely like I got a lube job on it.
I still take the prescribed pain medication when needed for the sciatica, and I am not completely pain free yet, but I think I am on my way.
