Excellent Fitness Expert Resource and Client Handbook 
Anthony Carey is a true expert in his field and shares exercises and theories for pain relief in this well written book. It is easy to read for the general population and a great resource for Personal Trainers.
As a specialist in corrective exercise, I refer to "The Pain-Free Program" often as well as Anthony's "Corrective Exercises for Powerful Change 2 DVD".
Some of my clients like that they can use the book as a sort-of handbook to remind them that the path to pain relief takes more than getting a knowledgable Personal Trainer, it takes the will to put in their own daily effort!
With Anthony's book, it makes pain relief possible.

Extremely helpful book
I purchased this book because I am having multiple aches and pains in my low back and in my neck, accompanied by headaches. I was expecting yet another generalized run-of-the-mill stretching exercise book and I was so very pleasantly surprised! (I had checked this book out of my local library prior to purchasing, so I knew ahead of time how wonderful it was.) I especially like the variety of body postures/images included in the book. The diagrams show you a new way to "look" at your own particular body to point out specific malalignments. Because of this unique feature, I was quickly able to determine my own mechanical problems and then go to the specifically targeted exercises to deal with these mechanical problems. For me, I quickly was able to identify a high hip on one side, a shorter leg, a slouched shoulder, forward head, etc., etc. When I do the specific exercises for my malalignment problems, I KNOW I am getting some real help, instead of just generally "hoping" for a good result! The book is almost like having your own personal trainer examining you and then custom-tailoring exercises to work on your particular problems. It is just that specific! I am impressed.

Amazing!!!
I have had horrible, progressively debilitating low back pain for 1.5 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and so on, all of which helped for short periods of time. I tried physical therapy, but it did not help for very long. I stretched and strengthened on my own every day, but it did not help for long. I bought this book and began doing the exercises. I felt an immediate change and relief after doing the exercises just once. I have been doing the exercises faithfully every day for 2.5 weeks now, and I am no longer taking pain medication. If my back flares up a little, I just do the exercises, and I get immediate relief and don't have to take pain medication at all. I also have found that eating a low-inflammatory diet and taking Omega 3 supplements every day help with inflammation immensely, but those didn't help with the actual structural problem that was the underlying cause of my low back pain. The exercises in this book are addressing the structural problems. I am so thankful that this book was written. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has chronic pain. The exercises seem to strengthen and stretch in all the exact right places in the exact right sequence. I can feel my back getting stronger and balanced the way it should be.

I hurt myself on this program 
I've had chronic back & neck pain, that I manage through stretching & strengthening. This program aggravated my condition, so I dropped it.
