Four real students are profiled as they successfully navigate degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis, stenosis, back muscle spasms, sciatica, bunions, neck pain, shoulder pain and migraines. Review: This is great info for the body-aware - There are many good angles for understanding natural alignment and good posture. Ester Gokale offers a very valuable addition to what I've already studied (Chinese martial arts, Alexander technique, pilates, craniosacral therapy) by showing how indigenous cultures have created natural ergonomic sense with their body habits. I'm still practicing and integrating what I've learned from this, and may want to study with a local teacher of this method (referenced on her website) to understand my particular challenges. I'm sure this takes practice, and people should use commonsense about how the exercises are feeling to them. I appreciate Ester's thorough research on an important topic, and her clarity in sharing it.Excellent teaching!! Review: Not helpful in my case, sorry... - I have lived with a herniated disc in the L5/S1 vertebrae for the last two and half years. It causes moderate low back pain on the left side in the sacrum and hip, and CONSTANT neuropathic pain in the left foot (pins and needles, cramping, throbbing, biting sensations). I have tried everything available that is covered by my insurance including physical therapy (three courses with different therapists), acupuncture (over a hundred treatments by seven different practitioners), chiropractic (briefly), steroid injections (twice), all without positive results (apart from very temporary pain relief with acupuncture which has relieved pain which immediately returns when I resume upright posture, whether sitting or standing or walking). Medications have provided mild relief by sedating and muffling my emotional reactivity to the pain, along with unpleasant side effects. I am refusing surgery at this point because I have heard no long term success stories from back surgery patients (typical reports recount repeated surgeries with no permanent improvement and sometimes additional harm). My injury appears on paper to be identical to the injury the author herself experienced before developing her method. I have tried to teach myself the postural retraining approaches detailed in the book, and I've purchased the expensive DVD (fortunately I found a used copy at a third of the OUTRAGEOUS price they're asking for a new copy), and I bought the stretchsit cushion through the website. The teachings are extremely difficult to learn on my own. I do not have a good somatic, kinesthetic or proprioceptive awareness in my body. I am someone who is not athletically inclined and I tend to live in my head, so subtle awareness of very specific anatomical regions and structures is not something I can easily attune to. It's frustrating and overwhelming to try to ascertain if I'm following the written or onscreen guidance correctly, and I am guessing that I'm "not doing it right" because I've felt zero pain relief from any of the methods in this book. Stretchsitting seems like a joke because the only stretch I get is in the soft skin of my back, with no elongation of the spine which still bears the weight of my torso as it would without practicing the technique. Sitting for prolonged periods or standing result in increased foot pain, and I've had to cut back on many activities as a result. I will say that the instructions for the stretchsitting method have helped me be a bit more conscious of my posture, but it has not done what it claims to do in my case. Stretchlying on my back is a good thing, more easy to learn, but still it offers no pain relief whatsoever. The inner corset technique is difficult and I must not be doing it right because I can't hold it for any length of time and it's hard to breathe. Tallstanding is unbelievably complicated; I can't maintain awareness of areas of my feet, knees, pelvis, chest, shoulders, and neck simultaneously, it's hard enough to get one part right. I would really like to learn these methods with a qualified instructor but I believe it would require dozens of hours of instruction costing thousands of dollars, and I cannot find an instructor where I live in San Francisco, I don't have a car so I would have to ride a bus or train for hours to get to someone, moreover I live on disability benefits at the poverty level and cannot afford more than one or two individual consultations with one of their teachers at the rates they are charging. I contacted them and they offer no sliding scale fees, plus the lack of local teachers makes this an impractical option for me. They try to sell people on signing up for online consultations and classes but I do not believe a somatic discipline such as this can be effectively taught using a webcam and microphone, without the close observation and hands on instruction that a massage therapist or other bodyworker would employ. They seem to be heavily invested in marketing, with glowing testimonials from people who claim miraculous improvements and an office and website geared to getting the desperate suffering client to sign up for an online series of group classes costing upwards of a thousand dollars (individual instruction is even more costly). I'm giving this three stars because I believe the teachings are sound and I trust that many have benefited by these techniques, but based on my own experience I'd give it one star. Highly disappointing and a waste of money on my part.

Sigh... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seeing the Right Way to do the Exercises *by O***. on May 10, 2013* I wanted to use this DVD to visually check my exercises/positions against a correct way to be doing the. Esther Gokhale helped others with their missteps in posture etc. and then she recapped the correct procedure to follow. This recapping really helped me. Although I am good at reading directions, it was better for me to see the instructions shown by example. I would recommend this DVD as a complement to the book. It would be nice to see the two offered as a package with a discount as I thought the price was steep. However,since I probably won't be getting the course, this helped a lot. The posture changes I have made have made a significant improvement in the severity of my back pain. I recommend her Method to anyone suffering from back pain. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10633681-back-pain-the-primal-posture-solution-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10633681-back-pain-the-primal-posture-solution-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
