Back pain - Dr Sarno's TMS theory

[Carolina Golfer]

For those not aware of Dr. Sarno's TMS theory, he says that your pain might not be physical, it might be connected to emotional stress. I can relate as it's been very stressful at work and it's just a matter of time before my back tightens. My question is, for those who have been successful with this approach, how do you calm the stressful moments before it leads to back pain. Thx.

Breathing exercises on the Calm app. Amazing how much better you can feel after just a few minutes. I use it several times a day.

People need to understand that pain≠injury and that back pain is quite normal. Pain is complicated and it's incredibly important to not catastrophize every little niggle. Niggles are normal in humans.
