 More than just Pain Relief November 1, 2009
Howard K. Davis (Miami, Florida)
When I first read an ad for this book, I thought it was just another book being sold for somebody's profit. However, as I read the ad there was a challenge for the reader to try two examples of the stretching exercises. One of the exercises was for back pain and another one for shoulder pain, so I decided to try them both. To my great surprise both of these exercises worked immediately. I had been experiencing pain in my back and shoulders, to a degree, which caused me to wake up from a deep sleep at night. Upon trying both of these stretching exercises I felt immediate relief from pain and since using these exercises daily I have not experienced the pain at night where it was truly troublesome or during the day where it impacted on my ability to perform my duties at work. Subsequently, I have purchased three more copies of this book and given them to family and friends who were also experiencing pain and discomfort. The people to whom I have given this book have reported success in eliminating pain and discomfort that they thought they might have to live with forever. While initially pain may not be immediate or totally relieved, in all cases, continued use of these exercises does result in total or great elimination of the pain.
However, one of the great benefits is the increased motion and mobility of joints and muscle groups. I now find it easier to put on my socks and tie my shoes for example.
Doing these exercises does not require great strength or great effort nor does it take a great deal of time. I recommend this book highly, and I will be purchasing more copies to give to family and friends.
Took care of a naging shoulder problem! October 26, 2009

After reading all the great reviews I obtained a copy. The book is nicely written with illustrations
as needed but not too much, just right.
I used the workout for my shoulder for about a week, two or three workouts overall (page 161 in case
anyone is curious). Woke up this morning and it took an hour or so to remember......NO PAIN.
I have been living with this for awhile now and though it would subside here-and-there, it was always
there (so to speak). I was also getting this 'popping' type action, when I would move the shoulder /arm
around, like the joint was out of alignment or something, and that is GONE as well.
Anyhow, it's been nearly the entire day now and nothing. I'm going to keep up the exercise. I used
a stretch band that I had available. I think it was a 13 pounder; you can get off Amazon. I used the BodyLastics brand (that too is a 5 star) but I'm sure about anything will do. I plan to use the plan
for at least another week or two and then I'll decide to continue, or not after that. I have been doing
other shoulder exercises and though I would get a little relief, here-and-there, nothing approached what
this one exercise (apparently) did.
I am REALLY happy. I thought that I had damaged the shoulder, apparently that is not the case and I saved
myself a trip to the Dr., physical therapy, surgery, drugs and who knows what. This would also be a great
book to have handy as a reference. You'll know why after you read it over.
Good luck with your problem. This book is a great investment, now and in the future.

These exercises/stretches may work well to prevent problems in people who don't already have musculoskeletal pain. I have a connective tissue disorder with a lot of chronic muscle and joint pain, and the 3-minute exercises didn't work at all for me. For one thing, I was unable to do the regular exercises because of an injured hand so I did the exercises for seniors. I did these mostly sitting on the sofa, as is recommended by the author. Not only did they not help, I started getting low back pain that I did not previously have. If you use these exercises, don't do them on the sofa! Use a straight-back chair. The exercise for hand pain made my hand worse.
While the author does seem to know a lot about the human structure, the book is wordier than it needs to be and the exercises are simply yoga asanas under a different name. One reviewer thinks "3 Minutes to a Pain-Free Life" is what Egoscue exercises should be and aren't. Having done the Egoscue exercises and benefited from them, I completely disagree.

A friend told me about this book and showed some of the positions to do to get rid of pain so I ordered the book. Haven't had time to read it all but have it when I am able to read it.

Five weeks ago I injured my back doing a mundane task I've been doing all my life (cleaning the bathtub) and subsequently experienced the worst pain of my life. I couldn't do anything, just standing up was enough misery that it became impossible. At one point, I thought to myself, "If I have to live with this the rest of my life, I don't want to live". I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with some level of expertise in working with clients who have chronic pain, but this gave me a whole new level of compassion and empathy for people who have to live in those circumstances. And, even more important, it gave me great hope that it doesn't have to be that way for me and for the majority of people who experience pain.
Needless to say, when I heard about the 3 Minutes to a Pain-Free Life (from my lovely mom - other than my existence, this turned out to be the greatest gift she's ever given me!), I was highly skeptical. After all, I spent about two and a half hours exercising and stretching each day and was still living with a lot of pain. I thought I was in great shape, but I was perplexed about why I was living with multiple aches and varied levels of pain (my neck, shoulders, fingers, toes, knees, upper back, lower back, and hips all hurt), all of which seemed to be getting worse. I'm 48 years old and was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees at the age of 22. I thought that by staying extremely active, I could circumvent further pain and injury, but this notion wasn't panning out in the reality of how I felt. Dr. Wesiberg helped me to understand exactly why this was happening to my body and what I needed to do about it!
I have been doing the Weisberg method for 10 days now and I can tell you, I'm experiencing an absolute miracle!!! This morning I woke up pain-free for the first time since I can remember. Not only is the extreme pain resulting from my back injury completely gone (I'm still left with some stiffness and limited flexibility, but I'm convinced this will completely go away as well), but I feel no pain in any of the areas aforementioned! I now consider myself an ambassador for the 3 Minutes to a Pain-Free Life and will share my results of the method with anyone who is willing to listen. If you read this book, you'll understand why most of us live with musculoskeletal pain and what can be done (in three easy minutes)to heal and live virtually a pain-free life. Thanks to Dr. Weisberg I feel like I have a whole new lease on life! I am convinced that you will too if you read the book and follow Dr. Weisberg's method! I am overjoyed for you and for me! Thank you Dr. Weisberg!!!
By the way, the one person who wrote a negative review, obviously never read the book. I feel sorry for K. Prater... he/she is probably still living in pain...
