Saul,
I just wanted to write and thank you for the progress I have made. When
I first sought your help I had a very limited goal. To spend less time with
my physio having my serious back problem treated.
The spectacular progress I have made, as a result of your help,has
allowed me to raise my goals. I now plan to return to athletics, again with
your help.
As I am registered severely disabled this is a considerable testament to
your skill.
Thanks,
Trevor Link
I went to see Saul to get rid of the pain from my lower back, having
fused my lumbar vertebra. After seeing many physiotherapists i was not
convinced that Saul could help, however he got me back on my feet so that i
could continue with my active lifestyle pain free.
I would recommend Saul to anyone who has pain and is serious about
exercising correctly so that they can be pain free.

Saul Yudelowitz has been helping me to correct my posture for the last
year. In this time my handicap has improved over four strokes, I am now
playing off +2.
I have attended professorial schools in the USA and would not hesitate to
recommend Saul, his knowledge is astounding.

champion)
I went to see Saul Yudelowitz about my ongoing back pain. I was very
pleased when he corrected the problem in 3 months. I was previously seeing
many different therapists over a 4 year period, all of which did not
accomplish what Saul did in 3 months.

I was recommended to see Saul by my physiotherapist, having an acute
scoliosis of 16 degrees and previously competing in carting to the highest
level, I sustained many injuries. I am now more functional and fitter that
I have ever been. The method of exercising Saul prescribed to me has shown
me how to look at the body and exercise the way I was designed to function.
Barry Sher-(Former European carting champion)
Having trained with Saul on correcting my posture for 6 months I then
tore my hamstring muscle on holiday. After 3 months of rehabilitative
exercises I was back exercising to a high intensity level. Saul is a
knowledgeable professional who should be consulted by every one who
seriously wants permanent improvements

I have suffered lower back pain for 20 years… even when treatment has
been successful, it has only been temporary. I first saw the sports
biomechanic in September 2005. Over the next few weeks, closely following
his revolutionary stretching techniques, my back pain completely
disappeared. With continued stretching 4-5 times a week I no longer suffer
any symptoms…at 44 years of age I'm playing the best golf of my life, at a
time when most players are starting to deteriorate

I first started receiving treatment from Saul about a year ago when my
lower back problems resurfaced. His treatment, rehabilitation and exercise
program has allowed me to finally put my back problems to rest. I continued
to see Saul for help with my golf; I was playing golf off a 2 where I am
now playing scratch.

I first went to see Saul right at the beginning of 2007, and went
through in detail what I wanted to achieve in the year ahead: It involved
losing 7 stone, toning up and reclaiming my life back, thereby gaining
control of my propensity to do things to the extreme! A tall order, you
would think? Well….it has been hard work, but so far I have lost 5.5 stone,
and 10 inches off my waist! These improvements are very welcome, but they
are, of course, mainly aesthetic. However the real point is that my body
fat has plummeted, my resting heart rate is much lower, I am much fitter
and I feel great!
Saul is passionate about his profession, and his clients are made to
feel very important. He believes in a collaborative relationship…if you put
the work in, he will be at your disposal. I have tried various diets and
exercise regimes over the years, and what is important to me this time is
to lose the weight once and for all. I decided that the only way to do this
was to change the way I do things…the way I think, eat and exercise. So
when I spoke to Saul at the outset, it was important to me that he
understood, in depth, all of these components. He really knows his
profession, and his knowledge of the human body is encyclopaedic: he can
talk in detail about bones, tendons, muscles, the cardiovascular system,
the hormonal system, the gut and the mind. His enthusiasm is infectious,
and I wouldn’t think twice about working with him. Saul has helped me to
focus on those three pillars of mind, nutrition and exercise, so that I am
now confident I will achieve my goals…we will work together to ensure this,
and the positive feedback I keep getting from friends and family will feed
my thirst for success!
Thank you Saul.

I woke up one day in November 2002
with excruciating back pain and sciatica, and I have suffered everyday
since. In the early days I had
extensive physiotherapy and took the occasional painkiller but my symptoms
never really improved. I was
diagnosed with three herniated lumbar discs in 2004, most likely the result
of weight training and rugby I played in the late 90s. By mid-2005 the pain was unbearable so I
underwent lumbar discectomy. The
operation relieved my sciatica but made by back pain worse. My back continued to deteriorate, despite
weekly physiotherapy, and by early 2007 my back pain was the worst it had
ever been – I was in severe pain 24 hours per day and I was physically and
emotionally exhausted. In February
2007 I was signed off work and have been on sick leave ever since. I spent February to July visiting a
variety of doctors, physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. No two specialists concurred on the cause
of my pain and I underwent around ten torturous but futile hospital procedures,
including epidural, facet joint, sacro-iliac, piriformis and prolotherapy
injections, and a dose of nerve root pulsed radiofrequency. I was put on powerful pain medication –
an NSAID, a muscle relaxant and a nerve pain suppressant. By July the doctors had run out of ideas
and quite frankly I had run out of hope.
It was at the end of July that I remembered encountering Saul, a
sport’s biomechanic, at a party a year earlier.
I have been working with Saul for just over
ten months now and I have come off all the medications and would say that
my pain is 80% improved. This is
quite incredible and I know many practitioners did not believe that such an
improvement was possible. Saul
designed a personalised rehabilitation programme for me which involved a
number of targeted stretches and functional strengthening exercises. The programme was designed to correct the
various postural dysfunctions and muscular imbalances that were
contributing to my pain. It has been
a hard graft but Saul has been extremely supportive throughout and clearly
the results speak for themselves.
Saul’s approach is unlike any other
therapist I have worked with – we spend a lot of time in the gym since the
idea is for me to learn how to move and exercise correctly such that I am
able to maintain a level of fitness and remain injury-free and pain-free
for the rest of my life. Saul has
also helped with my nutrition, supplementation and sleep; he takes a fully
holistic approach. Unlike many other
practitioners I have worked with, Saul actively invites me to ask questions
and interrogate him. I have
to say that he pretty much always seems to know the answer, but on the rare
occasions he might not, he always ponders the question and finds a solution
for next time.
The past eighteen months has been extremely
tough but thanks to Saul I am now able to look forward to a potentially
pain-free future and start making plans again. Without doubt, the silver lining of the
past eighteen months for me has been the opportunity to work with and learn
from a professional like Saul – I truly believe that I have learnt skills
and knowledge that will help me stay healthy for the next 50 years! I plan to continue working with Saul even
when I am 100% fit as I believe that he is the coach who will help me
realise my future health and fitness goals, whatever I decide them to
be. He will be able to help you
realise your goals too.

I suffered from persistent, chronic achilles tendonitis from the Winter 1998. This affected both my achilles tendons. Indeed, I had reached the stage where my achilles were so inflamed that even walking was painful. Between Spring 1999 and Spring 2007, I received a range of medical advice and received treatment from multiple physiotherapists, some of which reduced the short term pain, but none of which solved the long term underlying problems, and the tendonitis returned as soon as restarted an intensive training programme. The cumulative advice from these experts was that I would need to stop intensive exercise (mainly running on an athletics track) if the tendonitis was to subside. At this stage, I was convinced that I would never be able to run competitively again, and certainly not without considerable pain. I began seeing Saul in Spring 2007 who prescribed a range of stretching and strengthening exercises (combined with an initial period of no running). Since Autumn 2007, I have been able to run on the track as often and as intensively as I have time for. When keeping to Saul's regime of stretching and strengthening exercises, I have suffered no pain in my achilles at all (for which I am truly grateful).
