Description

You Can Heal from Chronic PainWe’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. This book is great for anyone who has tried chiropractic treatments, naturopathy, yoga, physiotherapy, or massage therapy and still experiences chronic pain.You will love this book if you are interested in:Yoga, Pilates, massage, or meditationNatural healingCuring sciatica, TMJ, iliopsoas syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis pain, and other common pain conditionsLower back pain reliefCARS (Controlled Articular Rotations) or FRC (Functional Range Conditioning)Thomas Hanna or Moshe Feldenkrais Read more Read less

  • An extraordinary work that is now my North Star
I am savoring every syllable of this book, and I am not exaggerating when I say that this is among the best written and most deftly edited books on any subject that I have ever encountered. So fine is the writing, here, that the reader quickly gets the clear sense that its author is driven by a powerful sense of purpose that she understands can only be served by exceptionally high-quality messaging. And the authorś purpose is nothing less than banishing all the misunderstandings and fallacies that have stood, for too long, in the way of lasting relief for the untold numbers of humans who today live (or at least try to) with unrelenting chronic pain. I have read a sizable collection of manuals offered as self-help guides for chronic pain sufferers, including books on the specific therapeutic explained and advocated here (applied somatics), and even among the other works that attempt to educate readers about somatics, none comes close to this book in the ways in which it enlightens the reader. I am therefore now setting aside all these other tomes and plan to make this book my North Star as I move forward in my journey to end the pain. ... show more

  • This book delivers on its promise
The Pain Relief Secret is for anyone experiencing pain and wanting to do something about it. I take Sarah Warren’s online classes on somatics and have been reading her blogs for the last year so I expected this book to be thorough and clear and it did not disappoint. Ms. Warren is a natural teacher and healer—she knows a lot, knows how to communicate it and is generous and patient in what she shares. The book begins with a great explanation of how the pain networks in our bodies work—a great read for someone in pain, an athlete, a coach or a bodyworker—then the author details various approaches to solving pain, and then zooms in on the modality that has changed her life, mine, and probably everyone who has taken the time to give it a shot. That modality is somatics. Warren gives a thorough explanation of how and why somatics works, the history of its development and then proceeds to discuss specific pain issues—tension headaches, temporal mandibular joint syndrome (TMJ) frozen shoulder, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, to name just a few, and gives links to a set of somatic exercises to relieve and sometimes to eliminate those issues. She then goes on to offer suggestions for how to alter habits that are contributing to these problems, usually related to posture and body mechanics. You cannot read this book or take her classes without becoming more aware of your body and how you use it and that is a key to a much healthier and happier life. The exercises are simple and gentle. The hardest thing about them for me is to resist competing with myself or pushing mself beyond what my body can do at the moment and to not let my mind wander—the way these exercises do their magic is that they reeducate your brain and that can only happen if you are doing the exercises slowly and with full attention. Properly done they become a kind of moving meditation. The book’s explanation of the how and why of pain is worth the price of the book. The links to somatic exercises that target specific body aches is worth the price of the book, times three, and the section on paying attention to how you use your body every day is right up there with eat your greens and ditch the sugar. ... show more

  • Interested, not totally convinced yet
Interesting read, and my first encounter with this movement philosophy. I would be nervous to recommend the first portion of this book to someone prone to chronic pain, due to the language used to discuss the content. Its just rather blatant (which is fine for education) I just worry for people who might have intense central sensitization. I enjoyed learning some of the movement pattern/exercises and would like to learn more. I am a current DPT student wanting to learn more about treatment philosophys of other body workers. I'm not sure these exercises are as different and revolutionary as the book makes them out to be (I have done rather similar if not identical exercises in my PT, yoga, meditation studies), however I do think the movements and ideas are great for people. interested in learning more to see what else is offered. ... show more

  • And I Thought the Fountain of Youth Was a Fairy Tale!
If you thought the fountain of youth was a fairy tale, think again! Sarah Warren is on a crusade to bring the magical elixir of clinical somatic exercises to the world. These exercises have the power to free you from the grips of what you thought was old age. It isn't old age though. It's your body's automation run amuck. Throughout our lives, as we repeat certain postures and movements, our nervous system memorizes and automates these muscular patterns. Eventually, we don’t even have to think about these patterns. This is invaluable for playing ball, driving a car, or riding a bike. Unfortunately, though, our sensory-motor systems also respond to stress, trauma, bad habits, and inactivity. When this is the case, our automated reflexes eventually create muscular contractions that we can no longer voluntarily relax. These contractions eventually become so deep and unconscious that we can’t remember how to smoothly and efficiently coordinate our bodies so that we can move freely—and we become stiff, bound, and sore. Yet since this problem is a learned adaptive response it can be unlearned—and Sarah's book and powerful courses help you do just that! Her simple somatic exercises truly have the power to reprogram your muscle memory. I know this is true because it is doing precisely that for me. Every day I am amazed as my posture, mobility, balance, body awareness, and muscular control get dramatically better. And I thought the fountain of youth was a fairy tale! Come! Drink! See for yourself! ... show more
