‘With his easy, flowing prose, Nick makes the science of pain understandable, dispels the myths and emphasises always the importance of attending to the equilibrium of the individual, by recognising and dealing with stress in all its forms… This book is written from the heart by someone who is truly passionate about his subject and cares tremendously for his patients.’

Dr Sean White FRCA FIPP FFPMRCA

‘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. I am certain that if I followed all his advice and did all the exercises he wants me to do I would never be in pain again. Unfortunately I am too lazy, which is why I’m booked in again with him next Thursday at 2pm!’

Michael McIntyre

‘Pain – whether chronic or transient – is an insidious threat to mental well-being and emotional stability. In this excellent, well informed and optimistic book, Nick Potter applies his extensive expertise to helping readers understand the experience of suffering from pain, and shows them that there is a surprising amount they can do on their own to address and manage it. It is a pleasure to read.’

Professor Robert Bor, Consultant Clinical & Aviation Psychologist, Royal Free Hospital

‘Thoughtful and provocative... Nick Potter is a brilliant osteopath and diagnostician.’
