Publisher's summary

Do you have back, neck, or shoulder pain that keeps recurring or won't go away? Do you have to "baby" your back? Does back pain keep you from living a full life? If so, you may be suffering from TMS - (Tension Myositis Syndrome) - and you don't have to take it anymore!

Dr. John E. Sarno, author of the revolutionary book Mind Over Back Pain, is a medical pioneer whose program has helped patients overcome their back conditions- without drugs or dangerous surgery. Now, using his latest research into TMS, Dr. Sarno goes one step further. After identifying stress and other psychological factors in back pain, he demonstrates how many of his patients have then gone on to heal themselves without exercise or other physical therapy.

Discover why self-motivated and successful people are prone to TMS, how anxiety and repressed anger trigger muscle spasms, how people "train themselves" to experience back pain, and how you may get relief from back pain within two to six weeks by recognizing TMS and its causes.

Knowledge is Power

I have heard many times about psycho somatíc disease and it makes sense because I observe people and how they act, exacerbating their illness for attention and right there you can see that early in in their life they were affected by lack of love or lost a parent at an early age and so forth. So it’s very mind blowing that all these aches and pains are only in the mind and not the body !! Fascinating book. Thank you Dr. Sarno - great read. My pain went away as well now that I know better. Wow - really makes you think!

my shoulder pain and ulcers are gone

I still have some back pain but it's getting better after only 3 weeks. I am optimistic that Sarno's work will be one of the best things u have ever learned

Illuminating

Having experienced chronic pain back pain for 12 years this book feels like I've woken from a bad dream.

Worked for me!

This book eased my back pain within one week. I had the pain for over 8 months. Tried acupuncture, chiropractor, physical therapy and massage to no avail.

Enlightening and important, but missing actionable next steps

I found this book enlightening in that it provides informative insight into the possible causes for pain and illness. I think this is a book that everyone should read and that's it's very important to study this subject further.

The one thing I found missing from this book are actionable next steps. I found myself wanting to know what to do next, how to find out if I have conditions caused by TMS?

completely life changing

Anyone with chronic pain needs this. Ignore the mri. Ignore the PT, the chiropractor, the dry needling, the injections…instead? Read this.

Incredible!!!

This was one of the most eye-opening books I have ever read. I would highly encourage anybody who’s dealing with any kind of pain in their body to listen to this book. I am so grateful to Dr. Sarno for helping me understand TMS

Loved it

Thoroughly enjoyed it, can't wait to put it into practice. The three perfect candidate as I'm struggling with back pain at the moment

This worked spectacularly for a skeptic

My wife dealt with injury induced back pain for the first two years of our marriage. We had health insurance that covered any treatment and we tried them all - physical therapy, dry needling, cortisone shots, MRIs, massage therapy, pain killers, etc. Nothing worked, and she was finally told we would have to deal with it for the rest of her life. Then we tried this book. I’m a skeptic and I don’t like pseudo science, but I also understand the mind is a powerful thing. So I researched the evidence for this methodology and found that there was enough independent evidence to suspend disbelief and give it a fair try. My wife had to find an independent program online that put the principals of this book into a bit more practical application. After finishing the book and about three days of the online program, my wife was pain free. This happened within two months of being told by a medical specialist that her pain was real and would never go away. She has stayed pain free for the past two years. We can debate why Dr. Sarno’s approach works, but it does work. I recommend Reporter John Stossel’s special episode on Dr. Sarno for anyone who needs more convincing.

My back pain is gone

Just a few hours after listening to the first hour of this audiobook, my back pain is gone and has been gone ever since.
