The Pain Cure RX: The Yass Method for Diagnosing and Resolving Chronic Pain
by Dr. Mitchell Yass —
An estimated one billion people across the globe suffer chronic pain every day, and Yass has found during his 20-year career that many of us suffer needlessly. The current medical model for treating pain is not helping, but there is hope.
Yass presents an alternative model of treatment — the Yass Method — that can resolve pain quickly and effectively without surgery or medication.
Today, most chronic pain is attributed to a structural problem, but Yass has found that in about 90 percent of cases, the cause is actually a muscular weakness or imbalance — a condition that is easy to treat on your own.
The method, developed through his work with more than 14,000 patients, focuses on finding the true source of the pain and then using simple exercises to find lifelong relief.
He gives an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide that teaches how to diagnose the true cause of pain and simple muscle-strengthening exercises to resolve the issues.
Yass looks at the most common areas people experience pain; lays out simple tests that examine range of motion, walking patterns and posture; and teaches how to determine whether a pain is muscular or structural. If muscular, you can use the easy exercises and routines he offers to achieve the pain resolution you are seeking.
