Summary

"More than 55 million Americans have experienced chronic pain lasting more than three years, and even more will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. In this book, Mitchell Yass shows that such pain is the result not of physical injuries such as herniated discs or arthritis, but of muscular imbalance and weakness. He clearly and simply demonstrates how most people can eliminate pain through strength training." "Using the program he has developed in his fifteen years as a physical therapist, Mitchell Yass provides a comprehensive program with illustrations and detailed instructions to help readers return to full functioning capacity. Overpower Pain also describes how muscles function, how they can cause pain, and what specific exercises can bedone to relieve pain in every part of the body."--BOOK JACKET.

Author Biography

A graduate of the SUNY Health Science Center in Brooklyn and New York Institute of Technology, Dr. Mitchell Yass is the founder and owner of a thriving physical therapy practice in Farmingdale, NY. Over the last fifteen years, his strength-training program has been used to treat thousands of patients, many of whom were misdiagnosed by x-rays and MRIs. He currently serves more than 8,000 physical therapy patients and 4,000 personal training clients.

Yass is a regular contributor to Muscle Training Illustrated and Fitness Plus, and was named personal trainer of the month by Exercise for Men Only. His unique approach and intricate knowledge of human anatomy have been shared through his lectures, the prestigious Bodies exhibition in New York, and Fit for Life!, the television series he created to help viewers achieve greater levels of fitness throughout life.
