Pain Erasure: The Bonnie Prudden Way

"When you're in pain, nothing seems too extreme in the pursuit of relief. Bonnie Prudden's writing easily demystifies the subject and gives a comprehensive way to reduce and in many cases erase pain totally. It works! It really works! The book is written in a personal and conversational style--clever, witty and wise. It is easy to understand and easy to implement. The exercises which are required in the therapy are unique in that they employ only full range of motion movements: some are not as glamourous as those of the spandex-clad exercise classes, but the biomechanical accuracy of Bonnie's stretches and strengthening regiments are based on decades of research and success. I thank god for having discovered all of Bonnie's writings and hope everyone receives as much benefit as my students and I have in our quest for a quality and pain-free life."

"After experimenting with far less-thorough forms of treatment (chiropractic, standard western (incompetent) medicine) for a mysterious condition that made my feet get floppy and some of the toes cramp excruciatingly, I remembered I had bought this book a few years ago. I pulled it out, read it, zeroed in on the problem and have virtually eliminated it from my life within a week of starting the therapy this book guides the reader through. (The problem had existed for about 5 weeks; longer-lived problems that are helped by this work can take longer to fully relieve.) For this little money there's no reason not to try it. Just make sure to follow the directions, and don't forget to do the stretching and conditioning exercises that are recommended -- they are integral to the effectiveness of the treatment. This is something you can do at home (even by yourself -- got a tennis ball?), whenever you need to. If you're in pain, don't pass it up. It is safe and drug-free."

"After my wife exhausting every "traditional" method of relief for a severe case of plantar fascitis (swelling of the plantar muscle under the foot) I decided to seek an alternative view to pain correction. Traditional therapy treatments, pain killers and an assortment of drugs didn't work. I happened to run across Ms. Prudden's book and simply thought, "What can it hurt?" This was, I admit, a rather unusual birthday present, but she was in so much pain she could hardly walk by the end of the day. We faithfully applied the techniques as outlined in this book and the swelling under her foot disappeared in a matter of weeks, as did the pain. Since then, we have applied Ms. Prudden's methods for neck spasms, back strains, etc. In fact, I'm here to buy this book for one of our good friends who is battling the same foot condition that caused my wife such terrible pain. Buy this book and try it. What do you have to loose?"

"This is the best how-to book on getting rid of pain caused by injury, stress, or physical problems. The premise is that when a muscle is injured, it never forgets, creating a "trigger point". This book tells you step by step how to find the "trigger point" for your specific pain, and how to apply counter pressure to relieve the pain. I have disc problems in my back, and when my back acts up, this relieves the pain and gets me going instantly, without drugs or chiropractors. I highly recommend this book."
