Pain Free

A long chronic pain is devastating. For me it was 9 years. I think in last 8 months, my life improved considerably. And Pain Free book is miracle to me. I followed exercises that Pete suggests. And an advice: avoid ergonomics that supports muscles. That will/can worsen further by a) supporting the muscles task. b) will remind every-time that you are in pain. (I got rid of specialized equipment as monitors, keyboard, mouse and so on). I think the key is to-do-exercises for longer duration say 6 months or so, even to see the result. I am following for last 8 months and I can see the results. More over there are videos available at such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLoiIM7PSaU Beware: This is not theory book. Just-do-it. I came across this book 4 years back, and then I read and did *nothing*. This time I followed and, it has results. In addition to this, I followed Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection - by John Sarno, that has very relevant pieces of advice.

I give this book as a gift to anyone who complains of any kind of structural pain in their body. It is easy to understand and in many cases you don't have to go to a doctor for help anymore nor do you need drugs to relieve the pain.

Superb book. I've been suffering from Sciatica. However once I referred the book, I checked the same on you tube and was able to follow the exercise which has given me immense relief. One has to continue with the exercise every day. Have no regrets purchasing this book.

I had plantar fasciitis - heel pain in both legs. Doctor advised long list of medicines and small heel surgery for removing calcium deposits - was scary. I tried specially designed socks which had helped reduce the pain by 50% while wearing it but once I'm off the socks the pain would come back. With Peter escougue technique I started feeling better from day 1. 15 days into this I'm sure I'm very close to getting rid of this problem permenantly. One key takeaway from this book the point where it's paining is the not the source of the problem but the source is somewhere else. In my case heel pain reduced when I did the leg e-cises for hamstring muscle and calf muscle. Such a relief ! Started doing ecises now in conjunction with SuryaNamasakar (Yoga) and now improving other areas significantly

Best books ever. Saves lives from getting under the knife for no reason .God bless the writer !

This book has some good exercises and poses, which if you consistently follow, you will recover. I had a tight upper which got relieved 80%.

Its a gem. Consider yourself lucky if you somehow found this book..

its good book . explains pretty well the topic . a reference to human body would have made life easy for a beginner like me. still definitely worth reading . The exercises seems various of Yoga. I would prefer a book like this with yogic aasan as exercises without using any additional furniture. I would suggest readers to do yogic asana from "Light on Yoga: The Classic Guide to Yoga by the World's Foremost Authority " .
