Pain

• Why tissue damage does not equal pain.
• How thoughts, emotions and self awareness affect pain.
• Strategies to beat chronic pain.

From Bret Jones, Advisory Board member for Functional Movement Screen:

I would definitely recommend this book to personal trainers and movement professionals. It includes discussions of fundamental movements, pain science and more; the book makes the information accessible and easy to read.

From Curtis Simondet, MS, ATC, trainer for the Minnesota Twins:

[A]n excellent and insightful read. I have put to use some of the lessons and movement progressions in my clinical practice. Highly recommend it!

From Jamie Hale, cognitive scientist and trainer:

I had a hard time putting it down . . . rates as one of my favorite all time reads on movement.

From Leonard Van Gelder, physical therapist and athletic trainer:

Simply put, this book is the most important book on movement in the last 20 years, possibly in existence up to this point. It will become a required reading for every movement professional to truly understand movement and pain.

From Matt Danziger, personal trainer:

It’s almost infuriating how good this book is . . . It is both refreshing and inspiring to read something of this quality. This is definitely a resource I will be referring back to for quite some time.

From Matt Phillips, running coach & sports therapist:

With a good book I use highlighter pen to note the good bits. Last night I ran out of ink.

From Justin Goodhart, personal trainer:

I’m about 200 pages in, and my mind is blown. I’ve never read such a great synthesis of information from a brilliant movement perspective.

From Roderick Henderson, physical therapist:

This book is a game changer. It should be required reading for all physical therapists.

From Carole Bucher, Feldenkrais practitioner:

[this] book is WONDERFUL! It exceeds expectations in every way, and it is inexpensive!

From Diane Jacobs, physical therapist:

I was inspired to move my kitchen table over, mop the floor, let it dry off, then lie down upon it for a good hour, mess around with movement . . . I stood up, and enjoyed the feeling of being 4 inches taller and twenty pounds lighter with super-slidey nerves and vessels.
