Videos of exercises
I liked being able to access videos of people doing the exercises. I tried watching YouTube and it took a lot of talk to get to a video of an exercise. I simply locate the book on my iPad and set it next to me on the floor and do the exercises. Thank you for this.

To make it brief, this book very quickly helped me to sort out the kind of sciatica I had through a few simple diagnostics, including body postures--if this hurts it's this, if not, likely this. It had a good discussion of how sciatica can originate, which helped me to quickly identify where my nerve pinch related sciatica came from. So I got some pretty immediate relief from knowing what my problem was, and how to change what I was doing (some crazy lifting and posture issues on my sofa!). Also warned me against hot compresses and to go for cold ones instead--I was on the wrong track so that set me straight.
Not-so-good--if you look at the book cover, there it is, the one exercise (plus 2 minor variations, all on the floor) to help you get over the kind of sciatica I have. The sad thing is, one is supposed to do that exercise several times every hour, for an initial 3 days, and less thereafter. That just does not work at my office. I found some other effective stretches that I can do sitting up in a chair or on an airplane (where I spend way too much time) that brought me relief. I wish there had been more diversity in exercises.
Bottom line--I got the relief I needed in a day or two with stretches, change in habits, abandoning my heat compress, and some anti-inflammatories. Three days later, and I'm back in business without drugs, and some habit changes exercises to do regularly to keep me out of trouble. Compared to what a lot of people suffer, I haven't had to go through much, because I jumped on this early and did not have the extreme problems others may. But it put an end to my two weeks of agony. Was that worth the cost? HAELL yeah!

I got some good ideas (stretches and such) from this book. Good advice about when to go to the doctor, too.
