Dr. John E. Sarno, author of the revolutionary book
Mind Over Pack Pain, is a medical pioneer whose program has helped thousands of patients overcome their back conditions—without drugs or dangerous surgery.

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.
