Are you a persistent pain sufferer looking for relief beyond what you've been able to achieve through the effects of medications, physical therapy, and other common interventions? Have you struggled with pain for more than a year and believe you have gone as far as you can with the treatments you've received so far? Have you been told that you need to learn to "live with your pain" because for you it will always be a chronic condition? As you may know, persistent pain is becoming a health problem of epidemic proportions. Half of the adult population over 50 will develop a chronic pain problem at some point in their later lives.

Book
Building on the AIDS cocktail approach that reflects the fact that chronic pain is complex and no one tactic is likely to solve the problem, Maggie Phillips presents a 10-1 pain plan comprised of easy strategies based on somatic experience. Even if the reader’s pain is perceived as a “10” at the onset of the program, with 10 being intolerable, the somatic building blocks help shift the pain one point at a time until it gradually diminishes to “1” or even “zero.” Reversing Chronic Pain stresses self-treatment throughout, involving sufferers in attaining lives not simply endured but actively enjoyed.

”I first discovered Maggie Phillips’ approach to chronic pain after friends heard her speak on her visit to Australia. Thanks to modern technology I could go online and do her 10 point program which was great for me as I can not drive, sit for long periods or leave the house much. This program allowed me to learn a new skill each week which is just enough time for it to sink in and be practiced on a daily basis. The teleconferences meant I could speak directly to Maggie and have questions answered and hear how others were coping. I have had severe chronic back pain from spinal degeneration for 7 years now and tried many things. I had discovered some of Maggie’s ideas before but not in a focused and systematic way. ... It gave me a handful of seeds to scatter, some landed on fertile ground some did not. Some grew instantly and others germinated over time. Maggie brings together a forest of natural approaches and allows you to find the ones that work to relieve your pain.Chronic pain is multifaceted and this approach recognizes this, empowering the reader to move out of the pain cycle. In hospital again recently Maggie’s book arrived on my bedside table. I laughed. I guess its time I started teaching these principals to others. It is no ‘cure all magic pill’ but rather hope in a dark place, new choices and freedom from endless suffering.” ”Before... pain was the enemy and I was fighting with
it. Now I am more compassionate towards my pain – I have learned to love
my body through pain. I also feel a sense of control I did not have
before. My pain levels are lower; I have better response to medications
and a better attitude toward self-treatment.”
