About SaveYourself.ca

Twelve years of publishing science-powered advice about your stubborn aches, pains, and injuries

Welcome. I’m a science journalist and a former massage therapist in Vancouver, Canada. I have a strange job: all day, I study the science of pain problems and translate it for my readers. There are hundreds free articles here, plus several big tutorials (ebooks) about specific chronic pain problems, like low back pain, muscle knots, or runner’s knee. The pain-relief and rehab tips page is one great place to start, and I have reading guides for both patients and professionals. Enjoy your reading!

There are millions of health care articles online, but most are borrrrring (and incomplete, and obsolete, and worse). SaveYourself.ca is all about both humour and scholarship.
Chronic pain problems were mostly ignored by medical science until quite recently, which is why treatment and therapy for pain is still surprisingly primitive.
The story of how I ended up selling ebooks interests many readers.

Kind of like Wikipedia

A reader mentioned to me by email that the “problem” with SaveYourself.ca is that “it’s exactly like this” — like getting lost in fascinating distractions in Wikipedia. A very generous comparison. I do try… Comic from xckd, by Randall Munroe, used with permission.
