Eight incredibly detailed, referenced & readable e-books for eight common pain problems
The heart of SaveYourself.ca is a collection of eight unusually detailed and sensible e-book tutorials about managing common aches, pains and injuries — common problems that are also often misunderstood, misdiagnosed and mistreated. Written for patients, yet also ideal for many doctors and therapists, the tutorials are crammed with useful tips and interesting insights about what works, what doesn’t and why. None of them offer a miracle cure or treatment “system” — just a great deal of current information that’s highly readable, and as fun as I can make it. They are all supported by many explanatory footnotes, a vast bibliography, and a collection of 414 other free articles on related topics.

10 reasons SaveYourself.ca tutorials are awesome (and worth a few bucks)
There is a lot of free health information online. Why would you buy any? What makes these e-books worth paying for? Other than the fact that most free health information on the internet is crappy …
- A sense of humour. SaveYourself.ca isn’t a comedy website, but I do make a genuine attempt to make dry material about pain at least a little bit fun. There's whimsy and sass.
- A way with words that makes SaveYourself.ca more interesting, useful and fun. I was a professional writer long before I was a massage therapist.
- Heavily researched … and beautifully footnoted. I spent a bunch of money and worked for years to create “good footnootes” for SaveYourself.ca. It’s absurdly idealistic.
- Constant updates and upgrades. Traditional books about pain problems are practically obsolete by the time they hit the shelves. E-publishing is ideal for a subject that is a moving target. I revise and expand tutorials as the science evolves.
- Respect for science and reason! Amen! I have zero tolerance for intellectual bull. Logical fallacies are banned from SaveYourself.ca. I am debunking myths instead of perpetuating them or selling pet theories, big promises and miracle cures.
- I will answer your questions. Try it: write to me. I will reply.
- Easy on the eyes. Elegantly simple design. SaveYourself.ca is “a clean, well-lighted place.” I can’t knowingly publish a sloppy document any more than I could cut off my own hand — it’s just not in me.
- They will save you money. For a few dollars, my tutorials often save readers hundreds or thousands of dollars in unnecessary or inefficient therapy expenses.
- Satisfaction guaranteed, of course, and good customer service in general. If you aren’t happy with your purchase, all you have to do is write to me and we take care of it. One of my biggest pet peeves in life is crappy customer service.
- No shipping! Digital publishing means you can buy and read these documents now, without a trip to the bookstore and no trees have to die for it.
