Dr John E Sarno is a medical pioneer whose programme has helped thousands of patients overcome their back conditions - without drugs, without surgery, and even without exercise. He demonstrates how, after identifying stress and other psychological factors underlying back pain, many of his patients have then gone on to heal themselves without physical therapy. He explains how anxiety and repressed anger can often be the real triggers of back pain - even when physical conditions such as herniated discs have been diagnosed - and why self-motivated and successful people are particularly prone to this kind of problem, which he calls TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome). 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.
