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.

Too good to be true?

I have personally met Dr. Sarno and he graciously allowed me to spend a week with him about seven years ago seeing his patients and revalidating my discovery of how his principles and theories had worked for me in my treatment of orofacial pain (TMJ or TMD) In a dental practice. His appearance on ABC News show 20/20 can be obtained on Amazon Books where host John Stocell narrates the great work he has done in healing people from debilitating pain.

He’s the best

I’ve read so many books on TMS, and with additional help from paincureclinic.us have overcome 20 years of body pain (which was diagnosed as Ankylosing Spondylitis).

And when I have the occasional reoccurrence of pain, I always return to this book. Listening to this reminds me of everything and the pain is gone in a day or so.

I wish people realized this book could save them!

There is nothing whatsoever negative to say about this book and it saved me from decades of pain and thousands and thousands of dollars. Not to mention the potential number of lost years of my life continuing to succumb to my pain.

Sarno is simply a genius

Genius is a term that should not be used gently. It should be save for those who truly make a difference in our society. Dr. John Sarno was that man!

If you have back pain and an open mind, this will change your life forever.

Life changing

I've had recurring back pain for years. When I stumbled across this book, I'd been in pain for 6 days after from suffering a supposed back sprain. Listened to this on Monday night, woke up pain free on Tuesday morning. If you're open minded and prepared to un-learn everything you thought you knew about back pain, this book will change your life in the best possible way.
