Book Description
Reversing Chronic Pain offers a dynamic framework for joining body and mind to speed the healing of traumatic pain from the body level up. Each chapter presents a body-centered skill set that can be mastered through a broad menu of practice exercises. The resulting interlinked somatic building blocks help readers shift from physical pain to body awareness, and from unstoppable suffering to heartfelt connection and peace. Building on the AIDS cocktail approach that reflects the fact that chronic pain is complex and no one tactic is likely to solve the problem, renowned expert Maggie Phillips presents a 10-1 pain plan comprised of easy strategies based on somatic experience. Even if the reader’s pain is perceived as a “10” at the onset of the program, with 10 being intolerable, the somatic building blocks help shift the pain one point at a time until it gradually diminishes to “1” or even “zero.” Showing how the common professional interventions—medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, biofeedback—may be more harmful than healing, Reversing Chronic Pain stresses self-treatment throughout, involving sufferers in attaining lives not simply endured but actively enjoyed.

Book Description
Many people have asked why we decided to write Freedom from Pelvic Pain... what's the story behind all this hard work and dedicationI was working with professional NBA athletes to improve hip mobility and performance when David McCoid reached out to me about using DCT (Dynamic Contraction Technique) to relieve his pain from the Pelvic Floor dysfunction he was suffering from.At the time that David approached me I didn't even know what Pelvic Floor Dysfunction was, and I was focused on growing my DCT certifications for Professional Athletic Trainers and Team Staff.David's personal story of his struggle with Pelvic Pain and the absurdity of the current medical approach to treatment made me realize that I had to get involved.I knew if people only realized that the root of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction most likely could be corrected with non-invasive resistance stretching techniques and that the traditional treatment approaches for Pelvic Pain were not only ineffective but causing more harm than good.We knew that DCT worked for David, but we needed time to test and refine a program that worked with all the different types of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction that people were suffering from.I felt terrible because it took almost two years to figure out the program so that we could be sure that we were not overpromising on the results. I felt even worse about this because while we were working on building the program people were continuing to get surgeries and other extremely invasive treatments that are absolutely unnecessary.I knew that it was important to make sure the program worked, but I felt like I was failing everyone by not getting the information out sooner.The problem was that the people with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction that we were treating did not present with the same muscle tension patterns and different protocols were needed to get relief for their symptoms. Which meant that the program could not be one size fits all, which actually forced us to take the time to test and retest the program over and over again until we really understood what the mechanism behind the dysfunction was.Then, as if by chance, something amazing happened...That's when about a year into the testing process I finally noticed a pattern that all patients shared, which now seems obvious, and everything changed. From this discovery I was able to connect the dots and make a program that could address the different types of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.It was now crystal clear to me that the pelvis is being ""squeezed"" by the larger muscles of the hip, putting the pelvic floor muscles into an actively insufficient state - causing chronic spasms in the pelvic floor muscles.Discovering the root cause of Pelvic Pain meant that we could create a solution that would eventually resolve the pain and correct the dysfunction in the pelvis permanently and without surgery.We also discovered that some people with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction have very tight muscles that can be overly strong, while other people with the same pain/symptoms are hypermobile (very flexible) but incredibly weak.What this meant was that while the end goal was to reduce pressure on the pelvis from the Prime Movers (the larger muscles of the hip) the initial approach had to be completely different depending on the type of tension pattern the individual was presenting with.

Book Description
The innate ability to suppress stressful experiences has become more than a mechanism to survive, it has become an unconscious habit. As a result a person can accumulate years, even a lifetime of stressful memories in their body a phenomenon known as body memory. In Freedom From Body Memory we join Jonathan Tripodi on his eighteen year journey to uncover the secrets of body memory and how one's unconscious hold on the past is the invisible source of pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and repetitive life experiences. From his personal story - My Awakening to Body Memory in Part I through the fascinating science and case studies in Part II, Jonathan illuminates a healing path that is missed in traditional medicine and therapy that ultimately transforms body memory and accumulated stress which in turn enables individuals to manifest positive changes in their body and life that were previously considered impossible.
