 Consistency is key, but easy at only 3 minutes a day! October 25, 2007
S Stetler (Sturgeon Bay, WI USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am a certified massage therapist with many clients in chronic pain as well as personally having a chronic pain issue. I was excited to find a solution that WORKS with CONSISTENT practice. After about 3 weeks I got out of bed one morning without limping and NO PAIN! What a relief! I really beleive in the importance of stretching but the shortest full body program that I had found effective took about 20 minutes. Most people do not have the discipline or the time to be consistent with that amount of time. Anyone can work three minutes a day into their schedule! I believe that is the reason that nearly everyone that I have recommended this program to has kept at it and many of my clients have experienced significant relief from chronic pain as well. Another feature that I liked about this book is that it has modified stretches for different levels of fitness/flexibility. I highly recommend it!

I've lived & used Yoga for decades. I've also taught modified classes for others with physical constraints. That's why I'll address those thoughts. Due to early trauma and how my body responds to same, I've had spinal fusions and more. I've used most healing modalities, worked with top pain clinics, used western and alternative treatments. Both worlds can hold many of us hostage. I stay active as able but have continued to live with severe chronic pain, all while being self supportive (I work) and practicing pro-active health care. I sceptically picked this book up off a shelf in a science museum. It came home w/me. Whether it's the order in which the simple moves are done, the consistency , the short time spent in each TMI, the tests along the way...it doesn't matter. What matters is that it has helped ease my pain. That's my bottom line. I've shared the book w/others who live with similar problems. They've each added to their own success rate. It's an worthwhile tool for the boxes of each who lives with disabling pain or wish to avoid entering that world. The angry Yoga practitioner writers may have missed a point that often long hours of even the healthiest moves can create discord. It's how any asana is used, and the time spent in same, that can add to or deplete our well being. Even herbs can harm if used incorrectly. My vote is....give it a try. These TMI's may be adapted by almost everyone.

the stretches in this book really work July 14, 2007

I have osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia and was in pain daily, both moving and sitting still. After having problems with daily prescription meds, I would take OTC pain meds only when it was too painful to move. After hearing the Doctor on CoasttocoastAM, I decided to give the book a try. It's a miracle, after three months of doing the daily TM's, I am pain free. I can do all the things I haven't been able to do in years. I haven't changed anything else in my life except read this book. Thanks Dr Weisberg!!
Feeling Great! July 8, 2007

I really enjoyed reading this book and was especially excited to learn about the 6 thirty second exercises that I, as a senior citizen, could do to get my body in better shape. I have been having regular chiropractic treatments for more than 50 years, but now I'm finding that my back is feeling good without them. I suppose I might sometime in the future need to again consult a chiropractor, but for now, I'm feeling great! The exercises are easy to do and because they take only a total of 3 minutes each day, I have no trouble following through and doing them with regularity. I recommended the book to my older brother who has been having severe back pain. Now he is also doing the exercises and feels better than he has for many years.
Taking Responsibility for Your Own Body May 12, 2007

Dr. Weisberg is a breath of fresh air in an age of victimization. While others push harmful drugs on us to relieve the pain that is an "inevitable" part of aging and everyday life, he provides the rationale and method for taking care of yourself. I'm a believer in trying routines that put the burden of success on me, not a drug or some contraption. I read his book, tried the stetching routine and was immediately rewarded with the elation that comes from a relaxed, smoothworking body. The soreness in my wrists, forearms and back went away. I've greatly increased my daily exercise routine and it feels good. This book is the real deal.
