About the Author

Peter Dornan has been a physiotherapist in the fields of sporting injuries and manipulative therapy for more than thirty-five years. When surgery for prostate cancer left him with a severe incontinence problem, he used his knowledge of the body and his determination to find the cure that no-one else offered him. In a final, triumphant test of the Peter Dornan regimen Peter successfully climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa in 2003.
