3.0 out of 5 stars Better than traditional physical therapy, December 10, 1999

By A Customer

I work on a computer and was having career-threatening pain in my hands. I found this book to be more helpful than traditional physical therapy (strengthening and stretching exercises). I had a co-worker who was even worse off than I was and also found Anderson's fold and hold technique to be better than anything his therapists had him try. However, we both still had to be careful about how much we typed. We also worried about whether the pain would get worse again.

Years later, I tried John Sarno's techniques for back pain. His books are entitled "Healing Back Pain" and "The Mindbody Prescription". I found that these back pain techniques also worked wonders for my hand pain. I can now type all I want on "bad" keyboards with only minimal pain and with no worry that it will get worse again.

I would highly recommend considering Sarno's approach over Anderson's. If you do not accept Sarno's approach, then Anderson's is the next best thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Technique increases benefits from existing exercise programs, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Muscle Pain Relief in Ninety Seconds: The Fold & Hold Method (Paperback)

In an easily understood style the author explains to the user just how to locate and then relieve discomfort. I found that it wasn't WHAT I was doing that was wrong, but HOW I was doing my stretches and exercises. "Fold and Hold" has extended my periods of no pain by a significant margin. Low back, neck and shoulder discomfort has diminished significantly since I adopted the Anderson method.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing dot com, October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Muscle Pain Relief in Ninety Seconds: The Fold & Hold Method (Paperback)

The reason I'm ordering yet another copy of this book is that I keep giving my copies away...the techniques in this book are non-invasive, quick and effective.

I highly recommend it!.
