Dr. Rossman recognized the power of dance for natural pain relief, about 15 years before scientific research did. In this article, “Martin Rossman MD Explains the Science of the Dancing with Pain® Method,” which Dr. Rossman wrote in 2008, he explains the biomechanics of how and why dance is so effective in reducing or eliminating pain.
Dr. Rossman has written the foreword for Natural Pain Relief, Khazzoom’s new book. It is available now to KHAZZOOM Patreon members, and will be released to the general public on the day of the “Don’t Fight Your Pain. Dance with It!” event.
