I’m way over 70 but I’ve had chronic pain for 25 plus years. Nothing new in this as like most of these books it’s all been told before. I’ve never had much luck with physiotherapy as one young person told me I had to train my brain to tell my body did not have chronic pain?!? I do understand it’s transmitters from my brain but if one of these specialists could have fibromyalgia pain just one day would they be so blasé about it?

To survive this without medication would be fantastic but as I’m weaning off one of my meds at the moment I can tell you it’s no fun! I’m doing it as per my rheumatologist advice and doing it slowly as I know I cannot just stop it. This one I just found out is causing detrimental issue while taken with another one at bedtime so hopefully my sleep will improve.

Good nutrition and moving is what we all know we need to do but when pain levels are so high I don’t eat nor do I sleep. I do stretching exercises and try to walk a decent length each day even though it’s much easier to just lie in bed. But if you don’t use it you lose it.

Thanks Will! What a great read. Thanks for being so encouraging. I loved reading this book and will use it as a resource/reference . I would recommend this book to everyone… even if you are not yet in your 50’s… start early. God gave us a wonderful amazing body and world to enjoy!

I really found this book to be helpful. I found Will Harlow’s Youtube videos when I was having problems with my knees and the physical therapist I had been seeing only made them worse. I’ve ended up watching many of his videos and was helped so much that I ordered his book. I feared it might be a simple rehash of his videos but it contains much more. I read it in three days while doing a lot of underlining and note-taking. I assume he had a small budget for publishing but more photos of exercises would have been really helpful and also, a general full-body workout would have been great. (He has this on one of his Youtube videos, though.)

Excellent

I really enjoyed reading the book, as I'd seen a few of Wills videos on Utube, which I found very useful and I've recommended both to friends and family.

This is a very helpful book, but I prefer the format of his videos that I watch on YouTube. Excellent information, and very useful and easy to follow.

A nice discussion of illnesses we seem to have the older we get. I felt it was so interesting to see what can be done to help our body adjust to aging.

Very useful information, all backed by research. This ones a keeper for me. Good to refer to when needed or when I want to change up my exercise routine.

I watch the author Will Harlow on YouTube and his videos are always so helpful and informative. So I was looking forward to his book and it did not disappoint. It will remain on my bookshelf to refer to in the future. Many of his recommendations have helped with my workouts and knowing what exercises to do for pain. I highly recommend.
