Product Description
Here's an innovative and practical approach to eliminating chronic muscle pain, written by a popular occupational therapist with over twenty-five years of experience freeing people from the discomfort of tendonitis, lower back pain, and neck and shoulder tension. These types of chronic pain can be caused by a number of factors, including old injuries, habitual movement patterns, problems with body alignment, psychological causes, and inability to sense your own body movements accurately. Muscular Retraining for Pain-Free Living clearly and concisely explains the causes of persistent muscle pain and offers a therapeutic exercise program to address these problems and end pain.

Muscular Retraining is a MUST READ!! May 8, 2008
Craig Williamson has written a thorough, scholarly, and yet user-friendly book about the management and relief of muscular and neuromuscular pain. He gives us complete exercises that make sense and are easy to follow. For those of us baby-boomers who have exercised for too many years without the proper form and relaxation techniques, I highly recommend this book to help you stay healthy so you can exercise for years to come. I have given this book to at least five friends who suffer all different kinds of back, shoulder, and neck pain, and they have all found great help from Williamson's extensive knowledge. Everyone in my family has read it and tries to bring these exercises and techniques into our daily lives. Every reader will benefit from Williamson's wisdom.
 Good healthy advice April 7, 2008
Well, I had buy this twice because my 31 year old son ended up taken my first copy to his house. These stretches mime yoga exercises and can bring you to better posture that will make you feel better in every way.
Help with pain April 5, 2008
I am very impressed with this book. The ideas and techniques presented have been helpful to me in my search for a more pain-free life. The thought that we can build bad habits, which seem normal to us, and then find relief through retraining ourselves holds out hope after times of frustration with recurring pain.

This book is well-balanced in practical and theoretical advice regarding how to manage chronic muscle pain, tension, repetitive stress injuries, tendonitis, etc. The basic principle rests on what Williamson calls "kinesthetic awareness," a quality most of us lack. Learning to develop our kinesthesia is the key to pain-free living. Williamson includes "explorations" in each chapter in order to develop this awareness. Part II of the book includes exercises tailored toward problem areas and based on the prior explorations.
Williamson presents the information in a logical and engaging way, encouraging the reader to the exercises daily. I have seen great improvement in my own lower back pain and would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with muscular pain.
The best book of its kind November 30, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Craig Williamson's book is the best of its kind I've ever read. It is well written and easy to understand. He has made intelligible, the workings of the human body's muscles, tendons, joints and has explained so many of the reasons that we have body pain. If you've been suffering for years this book will turn on the light. When I finished it I wanted to make an appointment immediately but the author who practices his art of retraining lives in another State. I am doing the exercises and wish that there was a companion dvd so that I could be sure I am doing them right. I have written to the author and he is desirous of getting one out as well. Until then I am going to reread the book and continue to learn the exercises with great hopes of one day being free or at least more free than I am now of discomfort.
