Ever since I discovered relax the back three months ago, I have been their loyal customer by purchasing a product from them once every few weeks, for a total of four products. Evidence is attached if you don't believe me. I went in there on Sunday to try out a potential purchase of a fifth product called the inversion table for 20 minutes based on my recent search results through Artificial Intelligence in order to make a wise purchasing decision; however, the sales rep, Alonzo, refused to let me try it out. In the past, they would allow me to use it for 3 to 4 minutes each time; however, that time was not enough for me to make my final purchasing decision. In the past, the representative, Mark, told me a few times that I have a torn ligament or tendon, as if I do not know how the body functions. I repeatedly told him that I have a Bachelors degree in Health Science, and I am a State Qualified Health Care Interpreter. In addition, I told him several times that I do not nor have never done heavy work, such as construction for my occupation, and I am not involved nor have I ever done any type of strenuous activity such as high impact sports. Ask yourself this question. Has anyone of you ever walked into a car dealership to be confronted with a Sales Representative that used pressure sales tactics by saying: "You only have three to four minutes to test drive a car! Otherwise, if you want more time, you must buy it!" From my experience working in retail, they always emphasized the important concept of: "Customer comes first." As a customer, I was highly unsatisfied with my experience with them. This incident and situation reminded me of the famous saying: "The last straw that broke the camels back." They say we are not a rehabilitation location; however, when you go on their website, there is a youtube video, and you will see a lay, Brandi Healy, who is a Retail Special Projects Representative at Relax the Back who states: "A lot of people think of Relax the Back as just a place for pain relief, but really we have been doing recovery for 35 years, and just calling it something different. So we have that expertise, that experience, that authority." Here is another statement by Ernest Benion Jr, Director of retail Sales and Training: "There is nothing really more powerful than seeing somebody walk in your store with pain, and after your time with them for 20 minutes, they walk out without pain." I believe that the human body was designed to be able to be healed of just about anything if treated properly both mentally and physically. I have had neck and back pain for many years. As a result, I have zero tolerance for these types of unethical business practices, ESPECIALLY, in today's high inflation economic environment! read more
