This film has the potential to change thousands of lives for the better. It follows the story of Dr. John Sarno, an independent- minded doctor who has a remarkably good record treating back pain following the simple idea that our emotional state is closely related to our physical state. Unfortunately his ideas and methods, while seemingly employing common sense, are incompatible with the modern medical establishment (with rare exceptions), and he is shunned by his colleagues. Nevertheless, hundreds of patients, including director Michael Galinsky - whose own cringe-inducing back pain is treated by Dr. Sarno during the film - make their way to his office and are overwhelmingly pleased with the life-changing, pain- reducing results. This story, and the excellent, provocative filmmaking, makes a compelling case that modern medicine has failed us in this area; at the very least, Dr. Sarno's ideas should be taken much more seriously by the medical establishment. If they don't, they will be left behind, as books and movies like this show the path to ever-more patients to seek out the next generation of Dr. Sarnos.
