I'm woo-woo enough to meditate the pain away, bu when sitting cross legged for meditation hurts, it's hard to focus on other things.

His first edition said back only. He is/had a terrible editor. I read a later edition. The early chapters said 'back." Then a chapter later "all soft tissue." Then a chapter later "soft tissue, tendons, ligaments." When I started I had bad back pain and plantar fasciitis. Now I'd say the theory goes to pretty much everything short of broken bones or torn ligaments.
The hard part is you have to buy into it.
It hurt like hell to run. But I had to do it, and focus my mind on the things I was avoiding. And after a month. it. Just. Stopped. I have not had running pain in years.
The current top doctor in the field actually works a few miles from my house. I had a session with him. They are hard core. I was about 3 weeks into running through it. I would put Ben Gay on before running to ease into it. The guy ordered me STOP. Ben Gay is throwing your brain a small win. Nothing.
