My note
I heard good things about this book and was curious, although I have never really had back pain. Its premise is that TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome) and psychological factors can cause back pain, not only injury. It argues that understanding the cause can sometimes relieve years of pain. Based on the experiences I have heard from others, I think there may be something to it.
