What You Get Inside The Makepeace Method
Most people arrive at The Makepeace Method after months or years of chasing physical fixes — stretches, adjustments, injections, mattresses, supplements, MRIs. They’ve tried everything except the one thing that actually changes chronic pain: Understanding what the pain is.
The Sock That Broke America
One day, you bend down to pick up a sock and your back goes out. You’re in agony. You miss work. You can’t sit, can’t sleep, can barely explain it. A doctor orders imaging. You hear vague language about a bulging disc or “degeneration.” Maybe you get a shot. Or pills. You’re told to rest.
Take This 1-Minute Back Pain Self-Test
If your pain moves around, worsens with stress, or fades when you’re distracted, it may not be structural at all. This short self-test helps you recognize patterns that point to a nervous system stuck in ‘protect’ mode—and how to begin calming it down.
Dear Skeptic: Why You’re Right to Doubt Me
If we had five quiet minutes together, here’s what I’d say: I know what you’re thinking. Another person claiming to have the answer. Another “method.” Another theory that probably only works if you already believe it will. You’re skeptical - and you should be. You’ve tried the stretches. The exercises. The foam rollers, the MRIs, the core work. Maybe even injections or surgery. And now here I am, telling you it might not be your spine. Not your posture. Not your mattress. Not your core. But something emotional? Yeah, I wouldn’t believe me either.
Two-Thirds of Back Pain Patients Healed Without Pills, Injections, or Surgery
In a landmark study from the University of Colorado, two-thirds of chronic back-pain patients became pain-free after a brain-based program—no surgery, no medication. The treatment worked not by fixing the spine, but by retraining the brain.
Harvard Confirms Back Pain Is Usually Not Structural
Harvard researchers found that most spinal changes seen on MRI scans—disc bulges, degeneration —appear just as often in people without pain. These are normal signs of aging, not proof of damage. The true driver is often the brain’s over-protective alarm system.
The Painkiller That Killed the Truth
In 1996, Purdue Pharma introduced a drug it described as a breakthrough in pain management. OxyContin was marketed as modern, safe, and compassionate—a scientific solution to human suffering. What followed is now one of the worst public health disasters in history. More than a quarter million people in North America have died from prescription opioid overdoses.
How Robert Beat His Back Pain After a Lifetime of Pressure
Robert’s pain arrived after decades of pushing himself at work. His scans showed degeneration, but so do most for people his age. When he finally slowed down and addressed the stress behind his drive, the pain eased—not through treatment, but through understanding.

Meet the Doctors Who Dared to Disagree
For decades, patients with back pain have been told the same story: your spine is damaged, your muscles are weak, your body is broken. Surgery, injections, endless physical therapy — yet the epidemic only grows. But a small group of doctors and researchers dared to say: What if the problem isn’t in the back at all?
