from Mindbody Medicine for Chronic Pain

Most people with musculoskeletal pain try physical therapy. If musculoskeletal pain is your TMS symptom imperative, you’ve been there. And, has the physical therapy worked for you? Let’s discuss.In this Episode:🔹 Physical therapy hasn’t worked for you because it isn’t addressing the root causes of your pain.🔹 TMS/Neuroplastic pain is caused by psychological factors, emotional factors, and a lack of attunement with the true self.🔹 Today, we go into each of these causes through the lens of “why hasn’t physical therapy worked?”🔹 Important Note: There are physical therapists trained in TMS/Neuroplasticity. These are not your average physical therapists. THEY CAN help you.
