Customer Reviews

It was somewhat helpful
I guess I would buy it again at $5.00, but I wouldn't spend much on this DVD. It was helpful in showing how each of the Thera-cane knobs could be used. But you only need to see it about once or twice. (The Thera-cane is fantastic, though.) If you really want to use the Thera-cane to its best advantage, buy the "Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies, Amber Davies, and David G. Simons. That book and the Thera-cane have given unbelievable relief from many pain problems I had thought I would have to live with the rest of my life.

4 stars, not 5 because the DVD needs updating
I've been a thera cane user for 8 years now. It's a wonderful tool to use when I get those back, neck, and shoulder knots but I never fully understood the extensive applications of this cane until finally viewing this DVD. The DVD is very clear in how to properly use the cane. If you own a cane, without a doubt you will learn some new applications and be able to apply them immediately. I would recommend to the copyright holder of this DVD that they update it quickly because the styles and the cinematography leave a lot to be desired.

Surprisingly (and Disappointingly) Unsophisticated
I suppose it was worth the $5...just barely! It's wonderful that this DVD used the creator of the tool to describe its health benefits and a professional athlete to demonstrate how to use it. But, I have to say that it was like watching a bad school play--that your own child isn't even in! It was almost painful to watch them pretending to be spontaneous!

Besides being cheesy, it also moves much too quickly. There was no way I could keep up with all of the positions they are trying to demonstrate. And as another reviewer mentioned, there are no "chapters," so if you want to see something demonstrated again, it's a bit of a hassle.

However, it IS better than nothing. I did catch enough info to realize that I was not using it correctly, and that there are very many different ways it can be used. I would have preferred a highly detailed booklet, instead. I actually couldn't watch the whole thing, because of the poor quality (seriously, it's like one of those locally made car dealership commercials) and the speed of instruction.
