Hi Esther
I am a male, 58, 6 feet 183 lbs, in reasonably good shape: exercise 5 days a week, have gym at work, etc.
Like 6 years ago I had an herniated disk and related disectomy, which worked very well, full recovery.
I bought your book (started with it like one week ago) because I have had frequent lower back pain: and the yoga and pilates do not seem to ameliorate it and now I stopped both of them. I have only applied your first two lessons and they have been VERY effective, my mornings are better (thanks!).
Here is the question: I find it useful the use of TENS/EMS units for when the pain flares, and they seem to work well on spasmed muscles. What is your opinion on these devices? Thanks in advance

I have been using the TENS unite after my accident and it works great. I understand that it is very individual and it works for some people and it may not work for other people and is difficult to know in advance. The best thing is to try it yourself. I hope that it works for you.
