    Scottie Pippen: TMS?

    Watched it last week and thought the exact same thing! Man he's tough though, not a chance I could have played through my pain lol

    1st post. Hello

    I had testicular pain for about 9 months shortly after starting my career in policing. After ruling everything out they told me it was from the belt we wear which made sense. Basically they say that the nerve to your nut gets pinched higher up. They call this neuralgia paresthetica. Did some...

    Diastasis Recti

    Does anyone on here have a history of this and/or any experience with healing it? As my TMS healing is coming along remarkably well, I'm finally able to do some of the things I haven't been able to do for a couple of years- specifically lifting weights. While navigating the standard medical...

    Positivity issues

    Certainly nothing wrong with that, just don't stress it too much. You'll heal and then suddenly appreciate more things in your life.

    Positivity issues

    Keep in mind that negativity could be indicative of the fact that you are subconsciously angry. I was putting a ton of pressure on myself trying to always "be positive" but as I recognize and acknowledge the things that piss me off, the positivity seems to shine through without me thinking about it.

    I'm confused about stretching....

    What a great response BloodMoon! I'm going to give that meditation a try. I'm almost done reading The Great Pain Deception and Ozanich also recommends the idea of guided imagery, so this works. I'm sure it is said often on here, but huge kudos to everyone who has healed and still spends their...

    Best Intro to TMS for Someone 100% New to the Concept?

    I recently had a similar situation at work. I gave her a copy of Healing Back Pain and told her it was written in the 90s. I said "take a look at the Amazon reviews...Amazon didn't even exist for 10 years."

    I'm confused about stretching....

    I just mean that as life gets busy and hectic and you neglect meditating, journaling, exercising or whatever you find helps to acknowledge your mind body, do you find that you get a little more "slack" to do this. Are you able to neglect your mind body for longer periods as you heal from TMS...

    I'm confused about stretching....

    I find that this happens in a couple of days for me....is this (the ability to ignore the mindbody-at least for a short time) something that you found improved with TMS healing?

    I'm confused about stretching....

    Very interesting...I've know about DOMS for years as I have a fitness background. Never considered it to be TMS but I do now see that overall tension in my body (from my mind) causes it to be worse. Some friends who I would consider to be "very chill" don't deal with it like I do. Thanks man

    I'm confused about stretching....

    Miriam: No, I am increasing the intensity of the workouts but very slowly. I definitely notice that the DOMS is worse in my "TMS muscles" (glutes, piriformis, qls and erectors) than it is in other muscles even while I'm keeping sets and reps the same. The stretching that I was doing before my...

    I'm confused about stretching....

    I'm wondering if someone can help me out with this, I'm probably just not grasping the concept here. I've always been chronically "tight" especially low body. Sports medicine doctors have told me I have the worse hamstring range of motion they have ever seen. I now suspect that this was TMS and...

    Can I be fearful of the pain itself?

    Thank you so much for the replies! That absolutely helps to explain things.
