Relieve Your Pain: Your Holistic Self-Care Guidebook to Hurt Less and Love More

by Pat Buchanan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (33)

Your Step-By-Step Personal Development Book to Have Less Pain and More Gain


Whatever is causing your pain, I bet you’ve noticed it all shows up in your body. And I bet you’re eager to relieve your pain.

The question is, how?

Here are four ways people choose to deal with their pain:

  1. Ignore it
  2. Compensate for it
  3. Live with it
  4. Learn to solve it


Do any of these sound familiar?

Warning: The first three ways won’t solve your pain.

In Relieve Your Pain, we go with #4.

Let's Learn to Solve This

Relieving pain doesn’t have to mean pushing into more pain. Instead, tap into the power of pain.

Let it motivate and teach you to move away from pain and toward pleasure. Become more aware of what you do that:

  • provokes pain,
  • avoids aggravating pain, and
  • creates more comfort, ease, and effectiveness.

When you’re more aware of what you’re really doing, you get better at doing what you want in all aspects of life. You see more possibilities when you pay attention to what’s going on within around you. You make better choices and adapt in ways that relieve your pain and improve your performance, health, and quality of life.

This book offers unique explorations, reflective activities, and accessible science that support you to:

  • Shift the pain paradigm and find your unique path out of your pain, and even avoid pain.
  • Improve your movement and impact all areas of your life.
  • Develop three powerful skills for relieving pain and achieving a fulfilling life.
  • Tune up and take care of the body-mind-spirit vehicle that embodies all you think, sense, feel, and do.
  • Recognize and utilize the truth and wisdom within you.
  • Learn a dynamic, repeatable process to ease your pain and expand your well-being.

So, Is This Book for You?

  • Have you tried a lot of conventional approaches and still have pain?
  • Do you long to find holistic body mind spirit support?
  • Do you prefer natural pain relief to covering up pain with prescribed or self-selected drugs?
  • Do you want to avoid or delay surgeries to repair or replace damaged, worn-out joints?
  • Are you an athlete or performing artist who wants peak performance while staying out of the athletic training or physical therapy clinic?
  • Or are you the concerned parent or coach of an athlete or performing artist?
  • Are you worried about the quality of life in your later years and rising health care costs?
  • Are you a Gen X Y or Z who already has pain from living on your phone?

If you said yes to any of these, then this book can help you:

  • Change your mindset and behavior
  • Increase your self-awareness,
  • Sharpen your attention and focus, and
  • Raise your adaptability quotient…


All of which support you to find your path to ease your pain.

Be open to the power of pain to teach you the easy, not-so-easy, and hard lessons that transform into the power of love and bliss.

Are You In?

Are you ready to hurt less and get on with confidently living the healthy, active, and fulfilling lifestyle you desire and would love? I bet you are.

I’ve helped thousands of people with pains from head to toe harness the power of pain to make simple yet profound changes to get rid of their pain and get back their lives.

Let's shift your pain paradigm. Remember: the true cost of pain isn't just what it makes you endure; it's what it makes you give up. Don't give up. Let's explore the possibilities just waiting for you as you relieve your pain!

    What a thorough and easy to read book to help center yourself and be present to really address pains of all sorts.

    I love the easy-going (and very knowledgeable) writing, like the author is here, explaining it to me in person. Humor, life, and experiences also help.

    As an early 60s woman with genetic bone problems, and now age to boot, (plus all the work and emotional pains of life) I’m ready to solve my pain puzzle and use this book to empower me to better choices in learning how to relieve pain and finally improve my quality of life.

    Chapter exercises, points of awareness and reviews; explanation and diagrams of skeletal organization and relationship to each other; all are very helpful in a book like this.

    As the author states, “Our earthly home is embodied within us, and awareness is essential to learning.” I for one am ready to tune up my true home and learn how to take better care of it.

    I highly recommend others read this book and learn how to take care of your true home so you can start getting from here to there with less pain and more love and happiness. A true gain!

    In this book Dr Buchanan escorts each of us on our own journey to feeling and living better. A brilliant and experienced physical therapist, Dr Buchanan brings all her knowledge and life experience into relatable language and processes as though she is sitting next to you guiding you the whole way.

    She doesn’t just talk about pain theoretically or offer standardized solutions. She provides an opportunity to understand one’s own relationship with pain. She offers explorations through movement since our pain lives in us, not just our heads.

    The tools she provides are useful for physical and emotional pain and at all phases of life from elite athletic performance to chronic unhappiness. Not only will they make a difference in one’s present experience, the tools provide a shift in how we can perceive ourselves moving forward as a way of approaching life.

    I will be recommending this book to my clients and friends. It will be a long standing reference book I am grateful to discover.

    Dr. Buchanan does an excellent job of explaining the foundational model between the Body-Mind and Pain relationship. While stressing the significance of the intimacy of how humans express pain (whether physical or emotional); the author gives actual examples and strategies for recognizing, coping and eventually being motivated to lead a happier life without pain, The book's format reads like a story and is most engaging as it leads the reader to written worksheet activities. The concepts of self-awareness and mindfulness aids the reader in a personal discovery of pain and the movement activities that help relieve that pain. These exercises are simple to understand and can be easily performed at home or in a group setting as part of a health care treatment plan. This book will have a myriad of applications. It is relevant to the academic field as well as a guide for the layperson as they navigate self-discovery, self-care, and self-love.

    I enjoyed the approach Dr. Buchanan used in "Relieve Your Pain…" and recommend it because the book uses an uplifting, positive, pro-active, spirited narrative to what could otherwise be only a practical guidebook to assist with pain that we all have in our lives. While this book provides wonderful exercises and declarations to support and assist the reader with clear and simple instructions, the author is very down to earth, friendly and gentle, in a one-on-one way. There is no fluff or generalities. It is earnest, effective, humorous, kind and loving reading, yet the author has a goal to use her vast experience and education to help relieve pain.

    This book is suitable for a wide audience. The author references different modalities to provide a "wrapping together" of "the mind, body and soul" and an opportunity for "a journey of self-discovery" touching on all aspects of one's Being.

    I liked how the exercises facilitate "new awareness," which is "essential to learning" and "shifting our thinking." I found the following passage from the book is on target for health and wellbeing:

    "With new awareness, paying attention, being open, surrendering and getting out of our own way, change and improvement happen. We reorganize the connections among the neurons in our brains. We sharpen our perceptions. We shift our thinking. We become more understanding, more compassionate, more loving."

    Having worked with various healing modalities, therapeutic massage, and the practice of yoga, I appreciated Dr. Buchanan's holistic approach to alleviating life's pain, whether it be physiological, emotional, or other types.

    The approach of incorporating the attitude of gratitude to assist a shift in thinking, and implementing simple exercises for a better quality of life is just up my alley. Hope it is for you as well!

    Dr. Buchanan offers a unique perspective on a too-common issue in modern society – Pain.

    Most experts try to identify the cause of pain and “cure” it, with physical therapy and/or drugs and/or surgery, and with highly varying degrees of success.

    An Air Force colonel—a senior medical officer—once told me that surgery may fix what’s wrong, but you’ll never be the same. My subsequent surgeries have since added personal experience to the validity of that comment. If only I could have read this book before surrendering to surgery decades ago!

    This author’s approach is to listen to your pain, listen to the story it’s telling you, and learn how to address the real cause—structural, behavioral, emotional and/or intellectual.

    “Pain is not optional. How you deal with it is.”

    Rarely do experts discuss decreasing pain and increasing pleasure in one’s existence in the same breath—including emotional, financial, work and/or relationship pain as an integral part of the whole picture. This one does!

    Taken together, Dr. Buchanan is a guide, helping us to embark on a personal journey; a journey of learning about one’s Self in order to feel our pain, listen to its story and make decisions for moving away from pain and towards one’s personal happiness and bliss.

    Amazingly, with all the information and resources presented, this book is highly readable and easy to digest. As you read, it’s almost as though the author is in the room talking with you.

    Read this book before you undergo (or develop a need for) orthopedic surgery. See if these techniques work for you. It’s very likely that you’ll find one (or more) that works to improve your health, wellbeing and happiness. This approach isn’t a quick fix; it requires a paradigm shift in your way of thinking and/or living, but it’s worth considering—especially if you’re ready to take charge of your life and your happiness.

    Can one book offer all of this? Yes.

    Can it deliver? That depends upon you.
