 Thanks Ming, I'm regaining youthful flexibility September 7, 2009

Book is priceless for the supplement and dietary recommendations alone. After about 2 weeks muscles began releasing when stretched. Feeling better now than I have in years. Had thought that continually increasing stiffness and pain were inevitable parts of my aging. Fortunately, I was wrong. Looking forward to more stretching and strengthening.
More than a pain cure, a way to prevent it too! September 18, 2009

This book is very well written and the information contained within is priceless.
This is a comprehensive guide to physical well-being, focusing on nutrition and essentially a way to self-administer ART(Active Release Techniques). ART techniques are used worldwide for treating everyone from professional athletes to sedentary people with joint and muscle pain.
All of the info is based in solid science and is well researched. The reviewer Eugenia below would ease her fears by doing a little more research, as the supplements and their effects are all well documented. Just a quick search on PubMed will show that. Additionally, an anti-inflammatory diet has been shown to help relieve other inflammatory diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, allergies, and more. "The Inflammation Syndrome" by Jack Challem expands on this, providing tons of evidence and more in-depth information on nutrition than provided in this book.
The book is both highly educational and practical. Towards the end there are programs outlined for treating specific areas of pain. Everything from knee, shoulder and lower back to hands and feet are included. Most exercises and stretches include your entire body, so not just those target areas, but your entire body will feel and work better if you follow Ming's advice.
I have used the information in this book to recover from a necessary shoulder surgery well ahead of schedule and also relieve knee pain from an two year old injury. I am a 22 year old athlete involved in contact sports and will continue to use Ming's techniques to stay injury and pain free from now on. I am recommended this book to every athlete I know, and have already started treating my 84 year old grandma's arthritis.
I have read other books on the subject and done tons of research online. This book contains excellent information not available anywhere else, and I highly recommend it.
Very Good May 3, 2010

I started having pretty bad hip and back pain about 18 months ago (I am 45 years old now), no idea why, but it was really debilitating and made me feel like I was 85 years old. Couldn't play basketball anymore or even sit in my desk chair for very long. This book definitely requires you to pay attention to the detail of what he is asking you to do, but I was in so much pain I did it, and I really think it is effective. He wants you to take a whole lot of supplements, and I've been taking everything he suggested for months now. THEN you do his stretching exercises, and when I do, I feel a TON better. I just need to make myself do them more often :) I also started doing Pilates, and went to a "structural integration" (a.k.a. "Rolfing") specialist, and I think it is all helping. Thank goodness, because I needed it. Thank you Ming, great book!
Love it - but should include trigger point release before the stretches June 17, 2010

I bought this book because my business is to try to help people feel better from fibromyalgia [...]. I reversed fibromyalgia in my body over the course of 6 years with techniques similar to the ones in this book, and when I saw what this man had to say had to say about fascia, I had to buy this book.
I like the stretches, although many of them seem overly complicated and too aggressive for the beginning stretcher.
I also think that self trigger point therapy before the stretches would greatly enhance them and make injury less likely.

I loved the hope one can feel when reading the book, but I was reluctant to begin pumping all the different supplements/enzymes into my system. I worry about how the liver handles all of that.
