Review

"It was a good morning. I found you. I watched some of your videos. What's so good about that? Here it is... I have been suffering with shoulder pain for months. I'm not a guy that runs off to the doctor at the first sign of pain. In this case, I finally went. "Here," he said, "take this prescription." I woke up this morning and immediately went into my erect, head back posture. No pain. This is the second day. Something as simple as that, Paula. I'm telling you that I suffered for months with this shoulder pain and in a few minutes you corrected it. My doctor was going to feed me a steady diet of pain pills and muscle relaxants. I have been pain free all day because of you. You have made a believer out of me. Your presentation style makes a viewer want to watch to hear what you have to say about the topic. I thank you again and I will follow you and your videos until the day I check out."--Steve Mallon, author of The Path To Glory

"A few months ago I noticed my posture was not all it should be. The long hours spent working at the computer were beginning to take their toll. My first reaction was 'What can I do about this?' This prompted an internet search and this is where I found Paula Moore. I have recently purchased Paula's new book, this explains the importance of good posture and details the steps you can take to correct your posture. I am at the moment following the suggested exercise routines and I do notice my posture is improving; added to this it has also given me a real awareness of my posture in day-to-day situations."--Richard Manning

"This past week I have been unable to walk with severe right thigh pain... terrible cramp-like feeling... my chiropractor thought it was sciatica... my butt cheek was so tight you could hardly touch it... then I found your video... I did the stretch and I could walk without pain... thanks so much, I had lost my job... I was so sad to think I would be like this for a long time... my life seemed to be over, could do nothing and pain pills did not touch it... it was a miracle I found your video... thanks so much."--Sandi Killian

"Finally someone who can tell me this is a problem... This felt so good. My regular doctor said not much can be done for my neck lump and the severe pain I have in my back. I have been practising doing the neck exercises daily. I really see an improvement in pain and the lump. Again, I thank you for helping people with information on an issue that does not seem to be widely discussed."--Jane Seitz

"The pain has been almost debilitating. After just a few days of following your exercises, I can move and walk without grimacing."--Stephen Bloch

"I am so grateful for 'stumbling' upon Paula's videos when I did a youtube search about forward head posture. I have been dealing with this for years, but only recently realised I had it. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a conversation via Skype with Paula to talk about my condition. She was soooo helpful and informative. She thoroughly answered all of my questions (what type of exercises are best, what should I look for in a chiropractor, how long will this correction take? etc.) and she gave me a suggested plan of action... I only wish she was local so I could have her as my chiropractor. But her DVDs and Skype calls are the next best thing. Thanks, Paula!"--Mara Grigsby
