Now, with the Healing Back Pain/The Mindbody Prescription video, viewer's can witness Dr. Sarno's entire treatment lecture which teaches and demonstrates that:

• Most structural abnormalities do not cause pain.
• The unconcious mind can create real physical changes in our bodies.
• TMS - tension myositis syndrome - an often painful, yet harmless condition, is the major cause of most back, neck, shoulder, and limb pain.
• Repressed anger due to life pressures and the pressure we put on ourselves is the cause of TMS.
• The pain of TMS is a physical reaction which can be stopped.

In addition, this program contains interviews with patients who explain and describe their journey though the various stages of Dr. Sarno's treatment process as well as an introduction and summary from Dr. Sarno.

1. The Physical Manifestations - How the pain actually occurs in the body
2. Who Gets TMS
3. The Psychological Factors Causing the Pain
4. Treatment Strategies for TMS

QUICKTIME VIDEO EXCERPT #1:

"Since 1973 I have focused my research and clinical practice on mind-body disorders, most particularly a condition that appears to be responsible for the majority of common back, neck, arm and leg pain complaints. I have written three books on the subject and treated thousands of people with chronic, severe, often disabling pain. Lectures are the cornerstone of my treatment program and since both my lectures and books have helped large numbers of people to become pain-free, it was concluded that a video presentation of my lectures would be of great value to viewers. That is the purpose of this video and the program you are about to see. I hope it will help you to become pain-free."

QUICKTIME VIDEO EXCERPT #2:

"Well, it's clear that you're all suffering from some very significant, important pain in some part of your body and I'm here to help you get rid of that pain. You've all been diagnosed with a variety of abnormalities and other conditions. Disc problems for example, arthritis of the spine, fibromialga, and many others, and you've been told that these things are the cause of your pain. We're going to talk about that. After spending decades studying these problems and treating large numbers of patients with these problems, I've come up with a different diagnosis. There's something else that's causing your pain. We call it the Tension Myositis Syndrome, TMS for short. I'm here to teach. You're here to learn. We've adopted this learning or teaching method of treatment because we found over the years that people will get better if they learn what is the true cause of the pain."
