Our staff received this wonderful note last week about how some simple, stress-reducing imagery helped reduce a man’s back pain and shorten recovery time with a back that chronically goes out on him for weeks:
I feel compelled to write to you to thank you for the wonderful tape on Relieving Stress. For the umpteenth time, my back gave out on me. While a student at MSASS [Ed. note: This is The Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University), a professor introduced our class to these wonderful healing tapes. After a few short days of using the Stress tapes twice a day, my back feels so much better. I can''t believe how much faster I recovered this time compared with other episodes of debilitating back pain in the past. Wow!
I am going to recommend these tapes to all my friends that lead hectic and chaotic lives. A few minutes out of the day to listen can be so beneficial to general well-being!
Thank you again!

German researchers find that a cognitive-behavioral program of relaxation, imagery, patient education and new postural habits significantly improves the plight of those suffering from lower back pain.
A randomized, controlled trial at the University of Marburg, Germany looked at the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for alleviating pain, helping with coping ability and reducing disability in patients with lower back pain. |
