 What a disappointment December 2, 2008
K. Anderson (San Diego, CA)
This book did not deliver what it promised. The first few chapters have excellent information on the many soft tissue imbalances that can cause pain. But most of the book is really a very out-of-date strength training guide for "correcting" these imbalances. Many of the exercises are contraindicated, and don't even address the areas the author suggests they do. The models in the photos (I assume one is the author??) have horrific form, with seemingly no ability to stabilize their spine. Corrective exercise has moved way past this author's theories - in fact, more than 10 years ago, so any good personal training or up-to-date physical therapist could give you far more information than this book. To call it a pain relief method is dangerous - these exercises do not address muscle imbalances, will lead to compensation, over-strengthening of large muscle groups in isolation, and atrophy of the intrinsic support system so key to "overpowering pain". Thumbs Down!

No one enjoys being in pain, but it doesn't have to be the focus of one's life. "Overpower Pain: The Strength-Training Program that Stops Pain without Drugs or Surgery" is a guide to building strength to dull the nagging pain, be it from age, injury, or whatever the circumstance. Chronic pain can be overcome by working the affected muscle through the pain and therefore decreasing the pain in everyday life. "Overpower Pain" is something to be strongly considered for those facing daily, persistent pain.
Amazing Book! September 12, 2008

What great information! I was having pain in my wrist which I assumed was probably carpal tunnel. Before going to see a dr, I took Mitchell Yass' advice and decided to try the suggested exercises first. I am now completely pain-free without surgery or drugs. I am also now strength-training on a regular basis. Great read!
