Summary

Do you have one of those physical pains that just keeps coming back,  no matter how many times you try to fix it? You get the message, you do the exercises, but the pain still comes back. Do you ever hear your therapist say something like – there’s nothing wrong physically or structurally, it just doesn’t make sense? This is something that I’ve heard a surprising number of times from people. I often get asked if a person’s physical pain could be linked to how they feel emotionally. After replying – yes, I usually share one of my stories that illustrates this point. What I thought I’d do is to share one of those stories, in fact, the story of the first time I noticed the link between the emotional and the physical. This will also explain why I answered yes with so much certainty.
