DVD Reviews of The Elaine Petrone Method - Stop the Clock. DVD & Ball
DVD Review: Don't Believe the Bad Reviews!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a physician who treats lots of people with low back pain (and lots of other pains), This system works. It's probably not a 100% cure all, as no one system can be. However, the problem with the other reviewers (who gave this only one star) is they apparently did not understand that the DVD is NOT supposed to be something you watch dozens of times and participate with Elaine in doing. It is not intended to be an "exercise DVD" wherein you would do the same thing over & over at the same pace along with everyone else. This DVD instructs you to do the "non-exercises" at YOUR OWN PACE / TIMING, therefore it would be counter-productive to attempt to do them at the same pace as everyone else in a class. This is all supposed to be INDIVIDUALIZED! It is an educational DVD that you should watch at least once, possibly as many as 5 or 6 times, but it is for you to LEARN. After you have leaned how to use the ball(s), you should USE the ball, not participate in a class, nor watch the DVD over & over.
Ms. Petrone actually puts a lot of info into the DVD, but if you approach it as a class to participate in, you will be disappointed. This DVD is more like an advanced Yoga seminar, wherein you are being told how to breathe, how to hold several different postures, how to relax etc. Once you have learned them, then you go home to incorporate this new info into your life or your ongoing yoga practice. It probably would be a good idea to watch this more than once, as there is actually quite a bit of info crammed into the DVD, and parts of it that at first seem overly repetitive and boring, are actually her stating something similar to what she already said before, but with a subtle difference based on a new observation by the person asking the question or commenting on how his or her body now feels different.
Part of the lower rating reviews, I think was due to the fact that these new "exercises" are now left up TO YOU to perform them on your own. So, since you have to provide your own discipline and motivation, maybe those reviewers didn't get much out of this because they never actually practiced it for an extended period of time. If you stick with it, I'm confident you'll get good results. (And of course, if you aren't in much pain, you may not be able to motivate yourself, but then maybe you don't really need to if you're not in real pain!?) Best Wishes to all.
DVD Review: Exercise made easy
Summary: 5 Stars
Exercise has always been "DO I HAVE TO". This has changed all of that, now it is "I WANT TO DO IT ALL THE TIME"DVD Review: worth the work
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had 4 back surgeries and 12 different physical therapists. I agree that if you are not diligent you will not get the benefits intended from this. I can say that even not diligent it has helped me with acute pain. The dvd is not produced well but the information is worth sifting through. You determine what you want from the program from what you put in. There is no easy cure. It requires 1 hour a day to really improve. However there is much less sweat than a work out program for the same amount of time. Even not putting in the hours I have found temporary relief using it.DVD Review: Waste of money at any price
Summary: 1 Stars
Looking at this product I thought it would offer great and different relaxation techniques,...wrong. Throughout almost the entire dvd Petrone talked and talked and talked. She talked about the "method" (while sitting still in a chair looking at a camera), she talked to actors about the "method" (who were all sitting still in chairs as if waiting for tea), and she talked about her injury. By the time Petrone finally got around to showing the "method" I wanted to throw this kit away. The healing techniques only lasted about 10 min., each lasting 3-5 min. on their own while Petrone talked and walked around the relaxing actors with the camera following her for the most part.
Don't waste your money just get a yoga dvd/kit or something. And if you want something that doesn't require you bending over backwards and hitting the back of your head on your heels... try the Just My Size Yoga dvd.
DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was led to believe that buying both The Elaine Petrone Method and Stop the Clock was what most people do. It is totally unnecessary to buy both. Both DVDs are basically the same, and even have the same people in them. Besides that, there should be some sort of routine included that you can do without having to go back and listen to these loonnnng, booorrrriiinnngggg, DVDs. Her method may work, but frankly, I'm too bored to go back and try again. I wish I had used that $40 to buy books instead.
