I have a reverse curve in my neck and have suffered migraine headaches for 25 years. I have gone to a chiropractor on and off throughout the years which has always helped in the past. This past year I have experienced a significant increase in the number of migraines I suffer each month and therefore have looked for additional therapies (anything but drugs which have been suggested many times by my pcp). I stumbled across this book and spoke to my Physical Therapist and Chiropractor about it and they both thought that the postures you take during the exercises are radical but if done properly and slowly they can help. I believe that the exercises in this book have help with the alignment of my cervical spine. I have also purchased (on line) a cervical pillow with traction. I believe that between the exercises, the education regarding posture and the cervical pillow I am on the road to recovery (1 month migraine free). Hope this helps.
Cured myself December 5, 2007

I had neck pain along with tingling radiating down my arm to my index finger. Having had extensive experience with clients who needed physical therapy, I was fairly certain I had a cervical disk bulge/pinched nerve. I knew the routine with orthos and physical therapists and wanted to avoid spending both the time on office visits and the money, if at all possible. I stopped my usual exercise routines to give myself time to heal, took anti-inflammatories for a couple of weeks, bought this book and followed it religiously, and purchased an arc4life cervical traction pillow. In a matter of a few weeks, the problem was completely resolved and has not returned several months later. I have absolutely no pain and no restriction of movement. It is vital that you not do more harm than good by overdoing and/or improperly doing the exercises. Of course, if I hadn't seen improvement, I would have consulted a doctor. (BTW, I still sleep on the pillow and highly recommend it. It gets you past that unhappy routine of backsliding in the healing process due to sleeping wrong on the injury. It can be uncomfortable at first, so ease into using it as recommended. It literally provides light traction to the cervical spine when lying on your back and, if you move to the proper location on the pillow, provides excellent support while sleeping on either side.)
Outstanding Book!! Pain-free within a week.... August 30, 2007

Outstanding book!! My pain has almost completely gone and a big thanks to Honorable. Robin McKenzie for coming out such a gem. In fact, I would go one step ahead and recommend that he deserves to get a `Noble Prize' for helping and treating back for so many people in a much simple way. I have undergone so much upper back/neck pain for the past few years and my life was miserable. The pain was unbearable and I went to depression many times which affected both my work life and family life. I couldn't concentrate much and felt like that's the end of my life. I went to several Physiotherapists who gave various treatments where I felt better but the pain again repeated. Out of frustration, I just browsed amazon.com and entered back pain and I found this book. I immediately ordered and did the exercise only for a week 10 times a day as he suggested (It lasts only 2 minutes/time totaling 20 minutes) and my pain was completely gone almost 90%. I immediately bought the neck pad and back pad which he suggested and am pain free now. The exercises are really simple and anyone can do it with minimal effort.
Please do yourself a favor. Please buy this book for $10 to be pain-free instead of spending hundreds of dollars to physio's and if at all to confirm whether you do the exercises in a right way, please do take couple of visits with McKenzie-certified physiotherapists (http://mckenziemdt.org) who will do a better job than a regular physiotherapists.
A book for a pain free lifestyle August 4, 2007

I occasionally have severe neck pain that leads to debilitating headaches, and finally bought this book to stop the pain (I already own McKenzie's "Treat Your Own Back"). The exercises in this book were great, but the real value of the book was learning how to keep my head in correct posture and learning how to shape my pillow to stop the neck pain from sleeping. This is an excellent book, and it's really helped me stop my neck pain from reoccurring. I highly recommend it to everyone suffering from neck pain.
