Priceless

6 July 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

I rarely write reviews. I should, just don't have/make the time. But this book changed my life after nothing else worked and I was literally minutes from surgery. I had injured my C7-T1 disk such that it was significantly herniated and pressing on the C8 nerve root. For 3 months, I went to physical therapy, slept in a chair every night in a weird position that provided some relief, and saw various pain specialists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic surgeons. When nothing helped I scheduled a keyhole laminectomy with a world-renowned neurosurgeon. At the same time, a family member who had neck issues (he is also a radiologist) urged me to try this book before getting surgery. Having had 2 lower back surgeries in the past, I was familiar with the greatly unpleasant process of recovering from spinal surgery and was willing to anything to avoid it. But I was risking permanent nerve damage by delaying much further. So I kept my surgery date and started the McKenzie Method immediately and with all my vigor as soon as the book arrived. To me, this book was worth, literally, at least 1,000 times its price (considering just the costs of surgery and physical therapy, and not including all the pain and suffering it saved me). It explains in the perfect amount of detail exactly what is happening and why, allowing the reader to understand the problem and how the exercises work to treat the problem, helping the reader visualize the cure while doing the exercises. After 2 weeks of doing the exercises, my pain had subsided considerably, but I still showed up for surgery because it was not entirely gone, and I felt that the dexterity and strength I lost in my left hand due to the nerve compression had not returned. I was in the pre-op room at the hospital, in my gown, nurses and anesthesiologist coming in and prepping. Then my surgeon walks in with a team of med students behind him, eager to observe the procedure. He runs through the series of simple tests we had done during office visits (squeeze his fingers to test strength, etc.), and then he tells me that the surgery is off. He said I had shown such great improvement in such a short amount of time that it is clearly evidence of recovery that he expected to continue without risking further nerve damage. I refer to it as the best surgery I never had, and I truly believe that I owe it to the McKenzie Method. Thank you, thank you, thank you Robin McKenzie. This was over 3 years ago. Although I made a full recovery without surgery, I have had occasional (maybe once every 6 months) minor relapses (pain in the neck and shoulder blade, sometimes a little numbness in the pinkie). Immediately upon onset of the pain, I use the exercises in the book and the pain goes away (usually within the day, but sometimes a couple of days). I have also purchased McKenzie's book for the lower back and try to follow its wisdom regularly. It, too, is very well written. I tend to be one of those readers who wants to flip to the exercises, which are in the middle-back of both books. But after reading both books multiple times, I can verify that there is great benefit to starting on page 1 and reading through. At least in my case, the explanation of the anatomy, movement, and problems was spot on, and therefore provided a calming effect. The explanation of the movement of pain during recovery while doing the exercises was equally spot on, and greatly encouraging.

Contradiction leaves me with only 2 exercises...

19 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

It’s too soon to tell whether these exercises will help or not but I’m a little frustrated after reading this book. The main reason I purchased this book was to learn and do the exercises in order to diminish my neck pain. It turns out that there are only 7 exercises in the entire book. Chapter 5 explains the exercises, how and when to do them. I’m doing exercises 1 and 2. Exercises 3 and 4 are for those who can’t do 1 and 2. Exercise 5 is for those with acute pain on one side. (Not me.) When it comes to exercises 6 and 7 there seems to be a contradiction. On page 37 it says “When acute pain has subsided: Exercises 6 and 7, always followed by Exercises 1 and 2”. But on page 49 it says to “Only do Exercise 6 if your neck pain or headache is not helped by Exercises 1 and 2. So should I be doing Exercise 6 when my pain subsides after doing 1 and 2 or only if my neck pain is not helped by 1 or 2? Not knowing the answer to that question leaves me with only two exercises out of the entire book.

Wish I could give this TEN STARS....

10 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

I rarely ever take the time to write reviews unless the experience has been overwhelmingly bad or overwhelmingly awesome. Luckily, the experience I had from utilizing the information in this book has been the latter. Just amazing!!! I was ready to go back to my chiropractor to get my neck adjusted. Years of bad posture and "tech neck." I saw the reviews of this book and I definitely was like, oh man, I'm such a sucker but I'll try. Best decision I've made in a while! The more you do the exercises, the better! But I cannot adequately express just how much better my neck is. Pain is almost completely gone after just a couple of weeks and my range of motion is dramatically better! But remember, if your original problems stem from bad posture, you need to be diligent about improving that. Best of luck!

Took about a month to completely free my neck ( I have psoriatic arthritis and my neck has been bad for years)

4 July 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

This book literally saved me from cervical surgery. Took about a month to completely free my neck ( I have psoriatic arthritis and my neck has been bad for years). Now I have great range of motion, no numbness in arms, no pain. If a little pain or stiffness rear their head I do the exercises on impulse, and it literally restores my range within a day.

My surgeon told me my neck was one of the worst he's seen - bone spurs, nerve impingement, 2 very degenerated discs ( I was 1 inch shorter at 40 yrs old than when I was in college). Said surgery wasnt IF BUT WHEN. It's been probably 5 years since and I thank God for Robyn MacKenzie's accidental discovery of this treatment. Buy the book, do it, and you will see.

Great Treatment for a Pinched Nerve

6 August 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

My physical therapist had me doing some of these exercises for cervical radiculopathy, but after reading this book I understood why. I also found out that I needed to do them more often than I was. After increasing the frequency of the exercises, I got rapid improvement.

The book is a quick read, and I highly recommend it.
