    About this audiobook

    Do you have back, neck, or shoulder pain that keeps recurring or won't go away? 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 is a medical pioneer whose mind-body approach has helped patients overcome their back conditions—without drugs or dangerous surgery. 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. With case histories and the results of in-depth mind-body research, Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain describes how patients recognize the emotional roots of their TMS and sever the connections between mental and physical pain.

      What an impressive discovery! For years someone told me about this person and finally I uncovered his thoughts. I am ready for a change. Thanks Dr Sarno for your lessons

      This book was recommended by one of my colleagues, who is more optimistic than me and went through the same 'medical' problem and learned to overcome it and was willing to spread the word for me to know how to deal with it! :) I recommend it!

      This book will help many suffering from chronic pain. I am grateful to the author, Dr. Sarno, for helping me understand my pain. I have in the period of 1-2 weeks experienced significant reduction in pain. For the first time I feel certain that I can make a full recovery!

      Life changing book! I’m sure this is going to solve my life-ending problem once and for all. Thanks Mr. Sarno.

      This book completely changes the way a back pain sufferer views pain, and offers clear, immediately applicable tools to overcome pain.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely brilliant, great listen from beginning to end, thank you.
    • 4/5
      Interesting and holistic approach to feeling better! I’m a believer in trying less invasive procedures first and I think we really do need to acknowledge the damage done by bottled up stress and emotions and acknowledge the power of our brains.
    • 5/5
      This might just have changed my life. Looking back through my life, I dont think back pain is the only thing my body has ’faked’.
    • 5/5
      This was fascinating, such an eye opener to the world of pain & how the brain works. Explains in so much detail how our mind fools us into not coping.
    • 5/5
      Interesting. I’m going to try it. Makes sense that the body holds on to repressed emotions.
    • 5/5
      A terrific book! Insightful in every way. A new approach to dealing with chronic pain.
    • 5/5
      Imagine if your chronic pain was simply your minds way of keeping you safe from experiencing the painful emotions you are repressing?! I invite you to explore this option if you have tried everything else!
    • 5/5
      I am a physician.. I have also come to the conclusion that most illness especially the chronic variety is all mind. It's time to update the fundamental understand of medicine and how the body works. The body is really a projection of the mind in matter/ space/time. No more, no less. This is what I have also concluded in 30 yrs of practice!
    • 5/5
      Like no other book on pain. This author is brilliant !
    • 5/5
      It was very interesting and a lot of new info. It does talk about how to resolve the issue a bit but the bottom line is you should get therapy. It was nice that he explained how and why the issue where being brought on from a medical standpoint. I started this book with a sharp pain in my left shoulder I thought was brought on by how I was sitting at work, turns out I just hated something and people. I am not 100% but it's so much better after listing to this.
    • 5/5
      this book will save your health if you let it. finally, I got to the root problem of the back pain that kept coming back to my life again and again. life changing book
    • 3/5
      I really hope that meditation and positive thinking will help with pain. So many have been disappointed with doctors medication, PT, chiropractor, etc. It's worth trying.
    • 2/5
      I like the premise and the take of this book. But it never mentions the how. How do we actually take care of things so that the pain is gone permanently or that we are equipped when TMS rears its head the next time. Too repetitive and little meat. Disappointed!

      Great book and perspective on chronic pain cause. However, I'd like to get more info on how exactly to work on those repressed emotions. How to recognize them and process them.
