Pain Relief Without Drugs (A self-help guide for chronic pain and trauma).
Healing Arts Press
Written by Jan Sadler who was left in constant pain following a back injury in 1989. Rather than put up with continual suffering from chronic pain, Jan gave up her teaching career and began a period of learning self-help techniques. In this book Jan Sandler shares her experiences of self-help pain management, relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques to break the pain cycle which she learned and helped her to manage her pain and return her to a vastly improved quality of life and improved lifestyle.
