Effortless Pain Relief. by Bacci, Ingrid - 2005

London: Bantam Books, 2005. Paperback trade, very good condition. 222 pp. Dr Bacci believes much neuromuscular, joint and skeletal pain can be traced to your lifestyle: unconscious habits that involve the way you breathe, stand, and move and the way you store physical and emotional stress in your tissues. Thus, if you suffer from chronic pain, or treat people suffering from chronic pain, you can perhaps replace the expensive pain treatment with self-help methods for reversing the way physical, mental, and emotional stresses affect your muscles, joints, and bones. She presents a unique mind-body program - the guiding principle being to develop greater awareness of your body and sensitivity to it. Adopt body awareness techniques that eliminate tension. She also tells the extraordinary story of her own complete recovery from three years of being bedridden and crippled from a severe case of the chronic pain syndrome fibromyalgia.
