The Pain Relief Secret: How to Retrain Your Nervous System, Heal Your Body, and Overcome Chronic Pain

"The Pain Relief Secret. One word. Stellar.

This book has done a wonderful job in breaking down chronic pain by layering each chapter with research, context, and solutions for ongoing ailments. This book is for you if you've already tried pain killing medication or major to minor surgery. It's a book that attempts going against the grain of short lived solutions by replacing it with solutions that can produce physiological changes for the long haul.

As someone who has dealt with chronic pain himself, I can actively raise my hand first and say this book has identified pain points that I've overcome before by using techniques from this book. Chronic pain is your body's way of saying there's something seriously wrong and requires a different mindset and a different mode of movement for good change to begin.

Lastly, as a mental health professional, I'd recommend any individual who is working through mental health distress to give this book a read. I will be recommending this book for all my clients who deal with chronic pain, as many are referred to me after they've tried everything under the sun, yet their pain persists. Thank you for writing this Sarah, my clients and I have you to thank for their growth in wellness."

"I've spent many years trying to understand why I had problems with the joints in my body. After a few years of triathlon training and working as a spin instructor, I wasn't taking care of my body or joints in the way I was supposed to be. Sarah's compilation of various resources into one book has completely changed my perspective on what it means to have a healthy movement pattern and life. I cannot recommend this book enough, especially for health professionals that are open to another perspective and a new type of learning. Being a personal trainer and athlete, this has changed the way I look at the body and healing, so I thank you for that!"

You Can Heal from Chronic Pain

We’ve been sold a lie: The world tells us that pain is inevitable, that our bodies must break down as we age, and that there’s nothing we can do about it. Researchers develop new drugs to manage our pain; surgeons dream up new techniques to repair worn-out joints. But we never truly feel better.

Here’s the shocking truth: The vast majority of the pain that plagues our aging bodies is self-inflicted. It’s caused by the way we use our bodies every day—the way we sit, the way we stand, the way we walk and run. But with simple exercises, anybody can learn to heal their chronic musculoskeletal pain, and prevent future pain, injury, and joint problems from developing. The Pain Relief Secret explores the fascinating science of pain, and instructs readers in Clinical Somatics, a method of neuromuscular education that relieves chronic muscle tightness, restores natural posture and movement, and eliminates pain—all without medication or surgery. Students of Clinical Somatics have healed from chronic back pain, joint and nerve pain, scoliosis, and many other common pain conditions—all without medication or surgery.

Best of all, Clinical Somatics puts the power in your hands. You don’t need special training or expensive repeat visits to a physical therapist. Clinical Somatics exercises are practiced on your own and in your very own home. This is The Pain Relief Secret—your key to taking back your body from a lifetime of pain.
