Dr. John Sarno built his reputation treating patients with chronic back pain who had exhausted conventional medical options.

As Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University School of Medicine and an attending physician at the Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University Medical Center, he spent decades caring for people whose symptoms had persisted despite medication, physical therapy, injections and, in some cases, surgery.

Although his theory of Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) remained controversial within mainstream medicine, it attracted an unusually loyal following. Among his patients were writers, actors, broadcasters and performers who publicly credited him with helping them recover after years of debilitating pain.
