An excellent book that will equip readers with an ability to regain control.'
Makes the science of pain understandable, dispels the myths and emphasises the importance of recognising and dealing with stress in all its forms.'
Nick Potter is an exceptional osteopath, and has an extraordinary ability to instantly know what I have been doing wrong physically to cause me pain and then alleviate it.'
It's the funniest book of the year if your hair grows where it shouldn't and you've started making weird 'Nnaaaah' sounds every time you lower yourself into a comfy chair. Don't even contemplate growing old without it.'
