As part of my blogging and writing about pain for this blog and pregnancy for Womb Within, I get to review books and products that I can recommend (if I like them) and sometimes offer as give aways to my readers.
I have a book here called The Art of Body Maintenance: Winner’s Guide to Pain Relief, by Hal Blatman, MD, with art done by Brad Ekvall, BFA.
It’s a nice book with lots of detail and diagrams. The program also uses a rubber ball to help apply pressure to relieve chronic pain.
The author covers pain relief from fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and sports injury. If you would like the book right away, it’s available through Amazon.com and you can follow this link directly: The Art of Body Maintenance: Winner’s Guide to Pain Relief.
If you would like a chance to win a copy of the book, leave a comment in the comment section below about the pain you have and, if you would like, the things you have done to try to help yourself. By the way, comments like “just send it to me” don’t qualify!
In two weeks, on July 14th, I’ll gather all eligible comments and randomize them, choosing one winner. Please be sure that I can get hold of you to tell if you win. I have some prizes from contests that have been given to a second draw because the first winner didn’t leave a legitimate email address or never responded to my email.
So, tell me why you’d like the book.

My 5 yr old son was just diagnosed as GH deficient (causes slowed growth/ short stature) and will soon have to have a shot every day until he finishes puberty. Looking for ideas for how to reduce the pain of administering a shot, I came upon this website. Thanks.
I stepped into a hole and broke my knee. I had a knee replacement but I still have pain.
I get pain in my neck and shoulders. I would like to win the book to learn more about how to manage my pain.
