My fears were allayed and as a diabetic I set my goals including getting off NSAIDS to protect my kidneys and strengthening the inner core. This book gave me HOPE and explained the neuroscience of pain in a way that anyone could understand. Maas educated me on the physiology of pain and loaned me the above-referenced text. I had been told by a physician that I needed a spinal fusion or I would wind up in a wheelchair! My son, who is a physical therapist, advised me to see Rich Maas. The MRI had revealed multilevel lumbar spondylosis with evidence of previous right facetectomy at L2-3 with diffuse disk bulges from L-1 down to and L5-S1.


The text, "Why Do I Hurt," was loaned to me by my physical therapist, Rich Maas after experiencing a severe flare-up of low-back pain.
