When you have pain, like others, have you had to wait weeks to see a doctor, and then are told to take medications and possible surgeries with no relief.

Instead do you want to fix the source of your pain?

Rick Olderman is an expert in understanding the pain patterns causing chronic pain; and will help you actually FIX it. He explains all of this and more in his new book, “Pain Patterns”, which was just  awarded the 2025 National Indie Excellence Award in Alternative Medicine! Let’s go through it.

1. How do test it, and the fix?

-Also what is the importance of one’s butt muscles in fixing the pain patterns (chapter 11)?
