Product Description
Product Description
<p>Statistics suggest that nearly half of all doctor visits are prompted by pain that defies diagnosis, pain that is most often treated with pain-killing medication that masks or even worsens the underlying problem. In this book, George Roth, a noted chiropractic physician, adapts his revolutionary pain relief technique, until now available only to professionals, for general readers. This innovative system of low-impact body scanning and energy balancing offers readers simple but effective techniques to check the body for stress and tension and to relieve.</P><BR><P>Known as the Matrix Repatterning Program for pain relief, Roth's method is grounded in a concept called the tensegrity matrix, an idea that conceives of the body as composed of a single lattice of tissue that extends to the cellular level. When one part of the body is injured or suffers strain or tension, the rest of the body also experiences stress. Pain caused by the initial injury can be referred to another part of the body - even one with no apparent connection to the original damage, while the actual location of the problem doesn't hurt at all. Through this process, stiff necks, back and joint pain, and muscle aches are often caused by injuries and imbalances elsewhere in the body. With an easy-to-follow series of photographs, readers will use this book to learn the Matrix Repatterning Program's three-part process: the body scan, the body check, and the self-treatment program. Relief from chronic pain will follow quickly with regular practice. The book also includes resources for readers who wish to locate professionals who practice the program</p>

Inspiring book, easy to understand, Feb 10 2005
By Andrew Stella - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Matrix Repatterning Program for Pain Relief: Self-Treatment for Musculoskeletal Pain (Paperback)
This book was very inspiring for the chronic pain and dysfunction sufferer. It is written clearly and it is concise and very easy to understand. Although not everyone will be interested in the self help portion, the book takes us to a new place of understanding how our old trauma's, falls, car accidents, etc., have impacted our body in ways we never realized. Dr. Roth has synthesized this cutting edge information and shown how anyone can reduce the effects of these injuries with a simple and gentle approach.

Awesome book!, Jan 30 2005
By Barbara Jones "Barbara" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Matrix Repatterning Program for Pain Relief: Self-Treatment for Musculoskeletal Pain (Paperback)
The Matrix Repatterning Program for Pain Relief opened my eyes to a whole new way of appreciating my body and understanding why I have pain. It provides useful information, backed by scientific studies, in a clear, concise manner with lots of illustrations. It helped me to understand how pain works, and how it could come from a problem in another part of the body. I also appreciated the stories of people who had been able to overcome their difficulties with these gentle techniques. The self-help program was simple and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: The Matrix Repatterning Program for Pain Relief: Self-Treatment for Musculoskeletal Pain (Paperback)
The primary focus of this book is two fold. Providing a basic understanding of how this treatment works, and giving the reader a way to easily perform self treatment. It is well written and organized, and the technique is easily applied. I recommend the book highly.
