* 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-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 thousands of patients overcome their back conditions - without drugs or dangerous surgery. Now, using his latest research into TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), 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. Find out: * 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 * How you may get relief from back pain within two to six weeks by recognizing TMS and its causes. 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.
