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.

Short and sweet.

Very educational and insightful. Dr. Sarno deep dives into the tension myositis syndrome (TMS) and how many chronic-pain sufferers suffer from what is a harmless condition caused by their own emotions. The book is not meant for self-diagnosis, and instead is meant to shine a light on said condition, to educate.

We may be able to hurt ourselves by favoring a body part too long

All good just follow up with others if it is needed. Physician or physical therapist etc.

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.

Brilliant

This should be required reading for everyone. This is life saving material. Priceless. Thank you, Dr. Sarno.

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.

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!
