Got into a mess with inflamation... arthritis, dropped foot syndrom, extreme pain from sciatica etc. and couldn't walk, couldn't work, couldn't sleep. Doctor put me on Zydol and turned me into a zombie.
Tried the exercise for sciatica and the pain subsided 50% in 30 seconds. That convinced me to do the 3 min execrices plus a few other specific ones several times a day. Soon stopped Zydol and over the next two months got a new body. Two months later I could run. Now 9 months later I have flexibility and it's like the clock has been turned back 10 years. I'm very grateful hence this review.
3 MINUTES TO A PAIN-FREE LIFEMarch 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I hurt my back. I mean really hurt my back. I was searching for something that I could do to help myself (in addition to Chiropractic). I learned SO much from this book! His exercises are very easy to do. They are simple targeted stretches that are modified for seniors. I could tell the difference the first day I did them. I have recommended this book to a least a dozen people and purchased one for a friend as a gift. God bless you Dr. Weisberg wherever you are.

This book has literally changed my life! After working for years with various therapists for back pain, including physical therapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Feldenkrais, and various others, this was the first book (and I have read many on pain relief) that helped me help myself. While the various therapies always helped for a while, I needed a way to make the benefits more lasting - and this technique WORKS! It also made a difference to me that he explains why each position helps and what to expect as I continue to follow the program. I began this program 5 months ago and considering this has been a life-long problem the results from the beginning have been amazing. I find this book so helpful that I gave many friends and relatives a copy for Christmas and they are now sending me their own rave reviews. A delightful "side effect" reported by friends in their 70's and 80's is a noticeable improvement in their sense of balance. Where they once might have fallen, they notice a stronger sense of balance and control. This is a major benefit as we get older. Also, my younger friends who are active in sports and work out regularly, are finding their workouts both easier and improved. One young friend says she often does the 3 minute program several times a day "just because it feels so good and doesn't take long." Included in the book is a three-month check up that makes one aware of a future problem before it gets severe enough to cause pain. By doing the suggested remedial exercises we can then prevent pain before it starts. I'd like to see this book in every person's hands who cares about a life that is pain-free both now and in the future. I would give it ten stars if permitted.
3 Minute MiracleNovember 24, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I overheard a passenger on a bus (recovering from a knee injury) rave about this book. I was curious. Investing 3 minutes seems a bit too easy.
I ordered the book and read through it in one evening. The first portion deals with the causes of pain, how we accept and treat pain and the general misconceptions of contempary pain management. Halfway through the book you'll come to the "exercises." Six basic positions. Sweep your skepticism aside and try the series of yoga like positions in the order prescribed. These are relaxed, non-bouncy, dynamic moves and slowly stretches muscles and joints in a very positive way. It's a well organized book and stresses that the prevention program can be done at anytime of day. In the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee or during the long commercial breaks on network TV - you'll experience, litterally, an overnight improvement.
This book will be part of my Christmas gift list to friends and relatives.

This book is very downto earth AND very useful for maintaining musculoskeletal health. Gives theory/explanation, useful experience for everyone. My Dad got one and we got one to send to a niece/cousin.
