According to the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, back and related muscular pain is the second leading cause of missed work in the U.S. Americans spend billions of dollars every year for doctor visits, hospitalizations, physical therapy, surgeries, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, and a variety of alternative therapies, seeking relief from pain. As Americans, we only spend more in search of relief from the common cold.

As a way to help back pain sufferers, Jeff Kates LMT, a leading massage therapist, has developed what he calls The Kates Method (Patent Pending). the Kates Method is an all-natural and safe pain relief technique that uses the body's built-in intelligence and self-healing mechanisms to provide relief from muscular and related back pain. Jeff calls this guiding intelligence "the healer within."

Unlike neuromuscular massage or physical therapy, which requires extensive knowledge of human anatomy to locate painful spots called trigger points, the Kates Method regards a painful area as a symptom of lack of motion. Therefore, the method works to restore motion to immobile areas such as when you cannot turn your neck to one side. By restoring motion to the area, circulation returns and the pain is reduced or eliminated by a rush of fresh blood and oxygen.

A central premise of the Kates Method is that pain is the end result of a chain of events that occur in everyday life. The chain begins with stress from mental, physical, emotional or spiritual causes. Stress leads to muscular tension. That tension leads to immobility. Lack of motion, if unrelieved, leads to a drop in circulation to the area because the tissues are too tight to allow normal blood flow. The lack of circulation leads to a drop in oxygen and a build up of toxins. The lack of oxygen and the toxins causes pain. The pain causes more stress and the cycle begins again.

By moving opposing regions of the body in the direction they are most free, the immobile region is released and pain is relieved. In essence, the Kates Method short circuits the cycle of pain.

The Kates Method is easy to learn without previous medical training. And now a self-instructional video by Jeff Kates has been developed to teach and guide people through this safe and natural pain relief method. As with any new treatment, a person should consult with a physician before beginning the Kates Method.
