Description
Healing back pain . Common back, neck and shoulder pain syndromes have reached epidemic proportions and all because they have become the preferred defenses against repressed emotions. Almost no one who suffers from them makes the connection with emotional factors. On the contrary, everyone thinks that it comes from an injury or congenital and degenerative anomalies of the spine. There is a set of disorders that are part of the STM (muscle tension syndrome) repertoire and that are attributed to a pathology associated with soft tissues (fibromyalgia, fibrosis, myofasciitis, among others) but here too, we think of an injury, muscle failure or something similar, in short, the perfect camouflage. As long as our attention is focused on the pain, there is no risk of the emotions being unmasked. Drawing on specific cases and extensive research into the mind-body connection, Dr. Sarno describes how his patients gradually uncover the emotional roots of their TMS and are able to eliminate the link between mental pain and physical pain in two to six weeks, without exercise or rehabilitation.
