Dear Bill:
On behalf of the players and staff of the Association of Volleyball Professionals, I would like to thank you for your fine machine, the Back Revolution, that you provided to us. The players really like it.
The most prevalent comments when they have tried similar devices were that there was always pressure in their groin and upper leg area, but with your machine there is no leg pain or pressure at all, just a nice stretch to the lumbosacral region. The other area where i received a lot of positive feedback concerns the stability of your unit. That is, players who have tried other machines have always complained that they seemed wobbly and unstable.
Not only is your machine solid when doing static stretches, but rotation movements, crunches, and even hyperextensions do not disrupt the balance of the machine. I highly recommend this unit for any doctors or therapists involved in sports where compressive forces have been recommending these units for my patients with chronic lower back pain. Purchasing a unit for home could conceivable save one, hundreds of dollars in healthcare costs.
Thanks, again, for your support. We look forward to future inventions and innovations from you and your company.
Sincerely,
Douglas Andersen, D.C.
Director of Sports Medicine
Dear Bill,
I received the clinical version of your “Back Revolution” machine the first week in February. Since that time I have been using it extensively with both the tennis players I train personally and the ones who use the Sports Performance Institute on their own.
As you and I are aware, tennis players put tremendous stress on their backs. As a result back trauma is a common complaint and many times is the casual factor to leaving the game prematurely. The feed back from the athletes I have placed on your machine is all positive. Some athletes claim the machine is giving them relief from chronic back pain for the first time in “a long time”.
Thank you very much and keep up good work.
Sincerely yours for health and fitness.

Dear Bill,
Since my retirement from the vigorous sport of Triathlon as a two time National Champion and World Champion, I have added even more activity to my life! It is using the Back Revolution that helps keep me going--my back remains flexible and supple while my mind is released from the added stress.
Cycling, running, snowshoeing, or skiing the mountains and trails of Colorado, managing a business that often involved moving and lifting, strenuous gym workouts, computer-work, housework, and yard-work are all part of my daily routine which remains a pleasure largely in part to consistently using the Back Revolution.
As a woman still very much on the go, I recommend this simple tool for anyone who wants to keep on going and remain free from back discomfort--even after retirement.
Thanks once again for helping to keep me very active!
Sincerely,
Kirsten Ames

Dear Bill,
As you know I teach and educate professionals and amateur athletes in football, basketball, hockey, golf, tennis, and baseball to create and maintain flexibility to reduce injuries and increase performance. The Back Revolution is an important component of my overall flexibility program.
I have been using the Back Revolution for over four years. I am extremely pleased personally, and confidently recommend your product to all my professional and amateur athletes. I am amazed at how quickly the clients with herniated, or budging discs respond with the Back Revolution. In my opinion, the Back Revolution is the quickest (2 to 3 minutes a day) and most effective product for strengthening, stretching, and decompressing the spine on the market.
Two important aspects over the years that I have come to appreciate is the fact that I do not have to store the product in inventory because of the amazing response time in shipping the product either to us or directly to your clients. The second is the quality workmanship. It is simply made to last a life time.
I look forward to working with you for long time.
Sincerely,
Chris Verna
Bill,
I want to thank you for the generous gift of the “Stick” to my weightlifting team: Team Southern California. My son, Casey the school age Jr National Champion in the 85 KG division claims that The Stick as well as your Back Revolution System has helped him increase his gains in both the snatch as well as the clean and jerk. Casey just called me from the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, COLO, reporting new personal bests in the snatch of 122.5 KG and the clean and jerk of 150 KG.
This exceeds his current school age national record in the snatch by 2.5 KG and 7.5 KG in the clean and jerk. Casey is convinced that continued use of these two dynamic systems will help him in his quest to make the Junior World Team for 1999.
Thanks to your invention, one of Casey’s greatest limiting factors, flexibility is improving daily. Casey is generating more power as a result o this flexibility as well as being able to recover from training much more effectively. The Back Revolution not only decompresses the spine and allows the athlete to recover and relax it also aids in strengthening the lower back which is one of the most important muscle groups used in Olympic style weightlifting.
Both Casey and I as well as our team members want to again thank you for all that you have done for us. IF there is anything that we can do for you, please do not hesitate to let us know. Please feel free to have individuals contact me regarding the results that we are obtaining by using The Back Revolution System as well as The Stick.
Sincerely,
Mike Burgner
Senior International Olympic Weightlifting Coach
Dear Bill,
On behalf of the Budweiser Surf Tour and Professional Surfing Association of America, I would like to thank you for the usage of the Back Revolution and its benefits to our tour. The health care staff and athletes have found the unit to be well designed and effective. Surfing is a sport which creates much mechanical compression. The Back Revolution works very well for the athletes in our field.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Yoser, D.C.
Dear Bill,
I have been using the Back Revolution every day and really enjoy it. It has helped my back and hip considerably.
I have already taken exercise photos of me using the Back Revolution in my gym in black and white for my book. The photographer who was shooting for Weider took photos in color as well, which will appear in Muscle and Fitness Magazine. in the future.
I anticipate selling lots of your units when the book comes out, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely, Frank Zane
“Prior to my 4:00 am workouts, I regularly use The Back Revolution which helps to take pressure off of my lower back, enabling me to begin exercising more effectively. The Back Revolution has become an indispensable piece of equipment in my own gym.”
