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.

An incredible eye opener

The book was wonderful insightful and an incredible eye opener. I will be listening to the rest of Dr Sarnos books and making it my new mission to rid myself of the pains ive suffered from for so many years.
A Very special thanks goes to Howard Stern. If it was not for Howard talking about Dr Sarno in such high regard i might not have ever known about Dr Sarno

loved this audio

Where does Healing Back Pain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say this is one of my top ten

What was one of the most memorable moments of Healing Back Pain?

The education

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did, but I listened in two sittings

Any additional comments?

Thank you for writing, it explains so much

Awareness of my back problems

This book has helped me realise where all my back & muscle pain comes from!
Very insightful just I would have loved to hear about some solutions, such as ways that we can release anger and emotions. But at least now I know how to approach my health issues!

Life Changing!

This audiobook has given me the opportunity to change the way I think about my back pain, which has limited what I can do for many years. This audiobook provides valuable insights for anyone dealing with pain.

Amazing

I would suggest getting the paperback as well and reading the parts they skip over (they skip over a lot of good parts).

Thank you Dr. Sarno

This book changed my life forever in April of 2019. I was just hoping to find some kind of relief from Dr Sarno’s words and instead I was healed. It’s April 2021 and I’m happy to say that I live pain free after so many years of suffering through chronic pain.
Give yourself the gift of being open to the contents of this book and you will thank yourself. Sarno was ahead of his time but he will be remembered as heroic like so many of us that have been helped by his work think of him. Hope you all heal ❤️

Just the missing piece

I’m astonished about the precision of the diagnostics and facts presented in this book.

I have correlated in many ways to the described cases and I’m completely convinced that my back pain is due to TMS and not all the nonsense doctors are saying while I present a sound set of vertebrae’s and no significant condition.
I have had X-ray, CAT SCAN, MRI, electric tests, and nothing noticeable appears.
I have had Acupunturista, Physical therapy, chiropractor, etc working on me for months each of them and my back pain continued.
I have had the most powerful Odín drugs provided to me to alleviate my Odín and I have been referred to a Neurosurgeon to perform an operation on my back which I refused to perform, and only by reading your book I have felt a relief of pain (only taking one Tylenol per day), and do all my regular functions, however, I do believe that I need to see a psychologist that news about TMS, to reassure my correct understanding and ask some questions about rage and deep traumas that I might have buried in my mind.

The problem is that in Miami, Florida I only saw one referral, that lived in Orlando, however, below his name stated he is no longer taking patients, which leaves Florida completely without a LMHC?

Now were should I go for this purpose.

Thank you,
