I can't tell you how much I am impressed with the work of Rick Olderman. He is a Master Clinician. I have studied and interviewed countless experts on our podcast and am not easily amazed. But he amazes me. He presents material I have never seen before. And it works! I have used his ideas successfully on patients and myself. I have reached the point that anything he puts out, I'm in. This book falls under that category. A pleasure to read, absorb, and put into practice! It will give hope to those with chronic pain, and inspiration to those who treat chronic pain. Thank you, Rick, for your role in reducing human suffering. --Bob Schrupp, physical therapist The book covers pain conditions from different regions of the body and Rick's tenacious pursuit of alleviating the condition and understanding all the contributing factors. His inclusion of his own personal challenges and methods of addressing those add to the fascination of reading the book. The reader will benefit from the insights and hopefulness of a highly committed practitioner who makes every effort to help his patients and share his knowledge with all of us whether patients or health-care practitioners. I highly recommended this book for a fascinating read and for the information to be gained. --Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA, professor emerita physical therapy, Washington University School of Medicine--St. Louis
