Dr. John E. Sarno is a medical pioneer whose program has helped thousands of thousands of people overcome their back conditions–without or drugs or dangerous surgery. Now, using his grounbreaking research into TMS (Tension Mytostis Syndrome), Dr. Sarno goes one step further: after identifyig stress and other psychological factors in back pain, he demonstrates how many of his patiens have gone on to heal themselves without exercise or other physical therapy.
- 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
With case histories and the results of in-depth mind-body research, Dr. Sarno describes how patients recognize the emotional roots of their TMS and sever the connections between mental and physical pain… and how, just by reading this book, you may start recovering from back pain today.
Update: Here’s an interesting article I recently came across entitled: Putting John Sarnos Ideas to Work. Sherri Obermark describes her technique of Total Muscular Release based on Sarno’s assertion that tension and stress are at the root of many back pain problems. It’s only with a full mind and body approach that Sherri was able to overcome her debilitating chronic pain.
