Interesting for all those in pain - Dr Sarno

[someguy]

Hi All

I have recently read a book called the mind body prescription by Dr John Sarno. I have already had positive effects from it having suffered for several years with recurring shin splints.

He specialises in back pain but also talks about many other conditions including repetitive strain injury tendonitis etc.

If you are interested in the mind-body link in any way this is a good read but if you are in pain yourself i think it could be invaluable. I was told that i would just have to manage my condition and therefore not run or do most sports for the rest of my life not being happy with that i turned to this book.

Has anyone else read this book or heard of him- positive or negetive?

Love to all

Hi Sunbeam

It's fine to post a link to a book on Amazon ... so long as you're not the author!

IME though, links to Amazon sometimes go "cold", and if that should happen here the book should be easily found by doing a search on their site.

Similarly, our readers overseas could look on [link=http://www.amazon.com]www.amazon.com[/link]

Hi Forum

This caught my eye as I have been thinking of buying this book myself. I'm doing a project on RSI in massage therapists and while doing some online research came across a website which talked about his book.

I think this book would be of great help to me - as all my repressed anger and stress manifests itself in my upper back and shoulders.

It's available to order on amazon.co.uk.

I'd be very interested to hear how this method has worked for people.

Namaste
Melanie

Anyone with this type of ind body interest may also like to look at the following book from peter levine
[link=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Waking-Tiger-Transform-Overwhelming-Experiences/dp/155643233X/sr=1-1/qid=1160562283/ref=sr_1_1/202-4133368-0235867?ie=UTF8&s=books]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Waking-Tiger-Transform-Overwhelming-Experiences/dp/155643233X/sr=1-1/qid=1160562283/ref=sr_1_1/202-4133368-0235867?ie=UTF8&s=books[/link]
His book is fairly academic but he also does a self help book with a CD with exercises for those who have trauma problems
which does not seem to be on Amazon I will post the ISDN if anyone is interested. II got it from Borders)

My interest was awakened in this through studying the Bowen Technique and subsequently working with two Australian Bowen therapists who linked the physical with the psychological through Bowen.
Best wishes to all who are looking for pain relief

P.S me again.....

there is a website and forum about TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome):

I've also just reserved the book from my library - sometimes I forget how many books needn't actually be bought.
