The Pain Cure: The Yass Method for Diagnosing and Resolving Chronic Pain

2015 | Health & Fitness

An estimated one billion of us across the globe suffer from chronic pain every day. Many of us have tried surgery only to find that it didn't relieve the pain. Some of us have been told? that we would have to take medication indefinitely, or, worse, that there was nothing left to try - we would simply have to live with the pain for the rest of our lives. This book shows that, in most cases, this simply isn't true, and that there is a way to resolve pain quickly and effectively without surgery or medication - The Yass Method. In the medical community today, most chronic pain is attributed to a structural problem, such as a herniated disc, a meniscal tear or arthritis. But what physical therapist Mitchell Yass has found is that in about 90 per cent of cases, the cause is actually a muscular weakness or imbalance - a condition that's easy to treat on your own. The Yass Method, developed through Mitchell's work with more than 14,000 patients, focuses on finding the true source of the pain and then using simple exercises to find lifelong relief. This book: reveals simple tests to determine whether your pain is muscular or structural.

It contains easy, step-by-step exercises and routines to resolve muscular pain. It teaches you how to listen to your body and look at your pain in a constructive and logical way, and it empowers you to help yourself and achieve the pain-free life you're searching for.
