NOTE: This article was originally published in February of 2017.
However, my Elderly & Sick Parents took over all my time for about a decade.
SO … I did not have time to market this article and get it out to more people.
But I AM MAKING A COME BACK NOW!
Dr Sarno Back Pain Relief
w/ Joe Polish & Steven Ozanich
On The I Love Marketing Podcast
Unlocking Chronic Pain Relief with
Dr. Sarno’s Mind-Body Method
NOTE TO READER: I originally made some comments here about how Dr. Sarno’s work is relevant to DSL Edgework — my own system of Neuro-Musculo-Fascial Therapy — and vice versa. I moved them to a separate page so here, you could Learn About, then get right to the Podcast on Dr. Sarno’s work. The LINK to my In-Depth Summary of the Emotional Approach to BodyMind Therapy is toward the end on this page. But I wanted to make sure you went to the Podcast FIRST! ~DSL

Joe occasionally has a Bonus Edition of his I Love Marketing Podcast where he discusses other issues besides marketing, including a significant commitment to utilizing and teaching state-of-the-art healthcare philosophies and practices. …
Dr. Sarno’s Method: His Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) says chronic pain — back, neck, gut — isn’t [necessarily] structural (damaged bones or joints); it’s repressed emotions such as rage, anger or guilt operating underground, behind the scenes, this root cause usually going unnoticed. He has helped heal many thousands, proving it’s not a “woo-woo” hypothesis —it’s science.
“His groundbreaking work in the treatment of chronic pain and other conditions transformed the field of rehabilitation medicine and touched the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world.”https://www.sarnoclinic.com/dr-john-sarno-legacy/
“[Dr. Sarno] didn’t have the science and the studies to prove it; he just had a ton of patient success stories,” Dr. Schubiner said. “He’s being bashed now if you read articles about him, but he was actually right. Science now has confirmed the vast majority of his approach.”
Chronic Pain & the Mind-Body Connection

Dr. Sarno was Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, until his retirement in 2012, and was an attending physician at the Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University Medical Center. ~ Wikipedia
Sadly, now passed away, Dr. Sarno’s Legacy lives on:
Please See the trailer for *All the Rage*, a Documentary on his life, linked below on this web page.
When he retired from practice, Sarno had written several very popular books on pain relief (shown below) with very wide distribution, and over the decades successfully treated many thousands of patients from around the world who had a wide variety of pain and dysfunction, even though they had nearly given up on ever getting better.
UPDATE:
Dr. Sarno, unfortunately, passed away on June 22, 2017, at the age of 93.
Here is a Trailer for a DOCUMENTARY produced about his work:

Most of Dr. Sarno’s methods of healing back & body pain revolve around Dissolving and Resolving Repressed Emotions such as Anger, Rage, & Guilt.

Dr. John Sarno on Wikipedia
Mr. Polish has, through his personal experiences of significant and persistent levels of pain, become a strong advocate of the Dr Sarno Back Pain Relief Method (and many other forms of muscle & fascia pain & dysfunction, as well). In Joe’s podcast, he interviews Mr. Steve Ozanich, a man who has taken it upon himself to carry the torch for the retired [now passed away] Dr. Sarno’s methods. Steve became a nearly full-time advocate of Dr. Sarno’s work, writing books and consulting with individuals on applying Dr. Sarno’s work to their healthcare situation.
In this 90-minute podcast, Joe interviews Steve. They discuss, in quite a bit of detail and with personal stories, how Sarno’s methods work, and the results they produce for so many people. It’s quite interesting and informative.
For Therapists, it should also be mind and perspective-expanding, with significant, even if indirect, applications to their therapeutic practice. I go into that in some depth in my Next Article on the Sarno Method.

Joe Polish and Steve Ozanich — the two people on the podcast — probably know much or all about what I’ve written about Dr. Sarno, and probably a lot more about his specific methods than I do. (I never actually studied with Sarno in person.) Further below is a link on this website to my, a Soft Tissue Therapist’s, point-of-view on Sarno’s work and how soft tissue therapists can benefit from his knowledge and experience.

And, I’ve got 40 YEARS of my own experience very successfully treating more extreme soft tissue conditions with clinically and medically focused, hands-on, Mindful Medical Massage, BIO-Structural Balancing & Yoga Therapy. Most of it, including yoga, is based solidly on orthodox medical science & research.
Yet it is that research from medical science on how Massage, Bodywork, & Yoga Therapy work that also validates Sarno’s work. And why you should listen to the podcast on Dr Sarno Back Pain Relief w/ Joe Polish, and watch the All The Rage documentary.
Because I have gotten VERY significant results with my own Clients ( and my own significant muscle pains ) using more Manual & Physical Methods with a strong dose of Mindfulness, I, of course, do not think Sarno’s process necessarily applies to every condition of every person.
What IS needed, however, from a Client or Patient Well-Being point-of-view, is better protocols to determine whether a particular individual is more likely to benefit from Sarno’s emotion-based work versus a more psycho-physical approach.
And Dr. Sarno’s work explains, in great part, why the strong focus on Mindfulness in the work of practitioners such as myself can relieve so many aches & pains, dysfunctions, & pathology.
I do use a few Essential Insights from the East in my own methods, but most of it is based on solid Western Scientific & Philosophical Methods and very common, modern medical science, correlating strongly with Sarno’s approach. Yet the idea of “mindfulness” and introspection, though more associated with The Far East, has in recent years undergone much scrutiny and practice by the orthodox, medical neuroscience research community in the last couple of decades. The direct connection between Mind & Body, or Body & Mind, is now undeniable.
Mindfulness can no longer be considered “an Eastern Thing.” …
It is a HUMAN Thing. ~ DSL
Neither I nor Sarno engage in “woo-woo” or mystical types of ideas or techniques. However, I think there are very interesting implications revolving around the body-mind integration approach I use compared to Sarno’s. So I might have something to contribute to the topic as well.
