With fibromyalgia, the nervous system becomes extra sensitive and produces pain to protect the body, like an alarm system. Understanding more about pain turns this alarm system down to allow for less pain, improved function and recovery.
“Your Fibromyalgia Workbook,” written by physical therapist and clinical neuroscience researcher Adriaan Louw, incorporates the latest neuroscience understanding of the pain and disability associated with fibromyalgia. Facilitating effective cooperation between patients and healthcare providers, this patient workbook doesn’t simply educate but requires reflection and discussion on the patient’s struggles with fibromyalgia. This personalized approach allows complex neuroscience information to be easily internalized and applied by the patient.
Session topics include:
"Your Fibromyalgia Workbook" includes more than 30 new full-color artist images centered on explaining the patient’s pain and enhancing the learning experience.
Written by Adriaan Louw. Illustrated, spiral bound. Softcover, 114 pages.

Every patient who has Fibromyalgia should use this
I have had patients really hesitant about the education I have provided, and when I send them home with this book, it is a concise way to turn them around. It makes for easy understanding of complex content, and overall they always come back with reduced fear of their condition. As a busy clinician, it is a wonderful tool for patient to take home with them.

Excellent resource for patient education
I have used this book to help communicate openly with several of my patients who have fibromyalgia. Working through the book together can be very beneficial in helping calm patient's sensitive nervous systems. It is useful in that once you have purchased the book you will have access to printing out the activities found in each session to give to your patient and make it so they don't have to purchase the book to work through it. Excellent information that is very useful. Patient's are very open to the information provided. While some things are still considered controversial, the information is provided in a way that is easily understood and discussed.

Excellent. Liz Peppin took me through the steps & education in this workbook. I am not the easiest patient. Kicking, screaming & resisting all the way. Liz’s education along with PT & a good psychologists have decreased my fibromyalgia pain by at least 50% sometimes more. Feel like I am so powerful. Thanks Eileen

Your Fibromyalgia Workbook
I have already used this book with a handful of patients in the clinic. The chapters are broken down in a way that allows patients to really absorb the information. The Tasks (home work) have really assisted in opening up the communication between therapist and patient. The home work has really assisted me in gauging the patient's understanding of the concepts, as we move through the book. Many patient's have an out dated understanding of fibromyalgia. It is nice to be able to offer them a tool that is based on the lastest research.

Great workbook
As a practicing PT that works with some patients with fibromyalgia, this workbook is a great road map to help them improve their condition. The information and images help them increase their understanding of what is going on and what they can do to help. The breakdown of information with homework after each session is a great to help them progress week by week.
