Default edgelow kit

Hi, several people have asked for the info on how to purchase the kit. you can call medical dynamics in rohnert park, california. 800 945 0302. The whole kit is about 333 dollars. I bought everything except for the ball and the ball was 23.95.

I would also suggest getting a soft 6 inch by 36 " foam roller instead of the one that comes with the kit. The one that I use is the pro roller soft from OTPT. They are also available on Amazon and have a marbled look. The foam roller and the gymnastic ball are part of the progression exercises.
But, I would also like to add that you don't have to buy the whole kit, you can start with the core program first.

For beginners, the most important elements of the core program, are..
1. DVD,
2. Booklet
3. Manual blood pressure meter with cuff ( one can buy this at any pharmacy)
4. Pinky ball on the stick ( can be found at therapists or online)
5. Air pillow.
The CD is not really necessary, though his voice is very soothing and you can order it if you want or substitute with any soft music or ocean sound or anything that is relaxing.

Make sure you have a therapist to guide you, it looks easy, but professional guidance would be helpful. Have your therapist have a look at the booklet and DVD before you begin. There is this whole philosophy in the booklet that one has to understand to follow his protocol. Only when and if you can master the core program it's worth getting the props needed for the progression exercises.

I honestly use his core program in conjunction with my other exercises given to me by Dr. Art Ando. Please don't substitute the Edgelow protocol for whatever is working for you right now, may it be manual therapy and /or exercises, but rather let it compliment whatever you are already doing. that's the way it works best for me. I still do the edgelow core program every single day, before I start my other exercises.

I completely agree. My PT incorporated it into my program.

Iris, I am so glad that your PT believes in it. It really works best with manual PT and other exercises that your PT might have given you.

I wish Peter had recognized the need for manual PT along with his protocol. Once I started manual PT with another therapist, his protocol started working for me.

I completely agree with Stos2. I think the Edgelow program should def be incorporated with manual therapy. By the way, stos2, I am back in the bay area! Have been meaning to update my thread and will do so asap. Are you still seeing the therapist in Dublin or only Art Ando in SoCal? How are you doing now?

Hi parbie, so good to hear from you and good to know you are back in the Bay Area. I am actually seeing a CFMT in Palo Alto about twice a month. Still doing Art's exercises and Peter's core program. I am doing much better, I am 70 to 80 percent better I think.
How are you feeling now? Are you seeing Susan Casto?

Hi Parbie and Stos,Happy New Year! Parbie how are you feeling since the surgery? Do you think the pec minor tenomoty helped you? I think I am going to finally order the edgelow kit. I am still having issues mostly shoulder and hand pain and numbness and still seeing Dr. Ando, I have also started seeing ken the massage therapist at Ando and Aston and he is great-myofacial release and rolfing teechnique mostly. I am kind of at a plateau-not getting better enough. I am going today for more trigger point injections and will be making an appt soon with Dr. Jordan to talk about a nerve block. Keep in touch-
