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.

The only book you'll ever need to heal back pain

I was a little skeptical when I first started listening to this book, as I had suffered from back pain (fibromyalgia) for many years and tried countless treatments. As I listened to Dr. John Sarno's narration, I identified with everything he said. It was like he was describing me ??? my personality, my pain, and my pattern of symptoms and associated treatments. I threw all the treatments in the bin, said goodbye to my physiotherapist, and gradually got better within months.



Listen to Dr. Sarno, listen to your inner self, and you WILL recover from back pain without anything else but this book and a lot of patience. Good luck.

Fantastic book

Would you listen to Healing Back Pain again? Why?

I've listened to it lots of times. It was easy to listen to, with the author having a great reading voice and very well structured. Complicated process's were explained in a very detailed way and I could understand the concepts that were being presented properly.

Most importantly the book has helped me to heal my back pain and tension heartaches. I would recommend this to anyone.

Good theory, unclear treatment

The content of the book is largely the same as his other books, with some variations. All of this is very interesting, but if you need a treatment plan, you'd have more luck with TMS wiki, I think.

A colossal expose of the prevailing ‘will to ignore”

...... the emotional entity always with u, commonly against us.


“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”


― William Paley (Wrongly attributed to Herbert Sencer).

Genius

No wonder most of the medical industry wouldn't recognise him! Why would they want to when he could have eliminated most of it? RIP sir, you were a true pioneer.

Amazing insight

Easy to listen to considering the subject matter. It is written in easy to understand language, not medical jargon.

Absolutely amazing!

An absolute eye opener. Lots of information to digest, but can’t wait to get better through applying Dr.Sarno’s principles.

A must read for any chronic back pain sufferers

A revelation, and must have for chronic pain sufferers. complimentary to many other therapies, but fundamentally different approach to understanding lifelong back pain
