Press reviews for: The Mystery of Pain
Celia Bucci MA, LMT, author of Condition-Specific Massage Therapy
It's a joy to help alleviate pain. It's equally frustrating to see a patient return with chronic pain that was at best temporarily eased. The Mystery of Pain puts those cases in context, providing an excellent framework for both patients and health care providers to understand why what works for one may not work for another. Douglas' use of current research and familiar examples clearly explain the revolutionary changes influencing our approach to a growing problem. I highly recommend it for anyone suffering from or treating pain.

This is a very well-organized book, interesting and accessible for laypeople and health care professionals alike.
