Making Sense of Pain - A Perfect Storm of Mind-Body Disharmony

// WHERE TO FOLLOW ME //
// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //
I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.
My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.
// NEW CONTENT ON YOUTUBE //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to YouTube with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.
*********** // VIDEO DESCRIPTION // **********
Pain is almost always a perfect storm. Rarely does pain occur due to a singular cause and effect. Instead, pain potential tends to accumulate within us until the nervous system decides it’s time to get our attention.
In order to make sense of pain, we have to understand what pain is. Pain is the body’s way of getting our attention. Chances are, before you experienced acute pain your body was trying to get your attention with subtle sensations and gentle nudges, but these may have escaped your notice.
The human body will produce subtle aches and sensations of tension, burning, numbness, twinges of sharpness or other signals that something is amiss. Often though, it takes a more acute and intense level of pain to spur us to action.
Why is this important to understand?
Modern medicine likes to make us believe that pain is abnormal, and if you experience pain there must be some dysfunction in your body that can be identified and treated with pharmaceuticals or surgery. We image everything in our attempts to “diagnose” pain with a singular cause. Bulging discs, degenerative discs, tendinopathy, bursitis, tendonitis, inflammation…
But pain is not singular in nature, it is a systemic experience requiring a systemic perspective for real healing to occur.
There are a lot of videos on Mobility Mastery offering you single fascia release techniques for pain like back or knee pain, plantar fasciitis or shoulder pain...but I hope I’ve made it clear over the years that these are my best “one off” suggestions for getting the most immediate relief, while stressing that the root cause is likely something else altogether.
Here are a few important considerations if you’re on a path of self healing:
1. Physical pain can become emotional pain.
2. Emotional pain can become physical.
3. Every emotion we experience as human beings has an accompanying flood of physical sensations. Think adrenaline/fear response. Think feeling loved when embraced by someone you feel safe and seen with.
4. Pain is nothing more than a danger signal from your brain, but that danger signal could be due to unhealed trauma, repeating traumatic nervous system patterns, being in an abusive relationship or just the wrong relationship for you; it could be due to being in the wrong career, or not feeling seen by your family; it could be physical danger due to pelvic instability or your patella (kneecap) getting pulled off the protective bursa, causing bone on bone rubbing...or it could be a combination of these or thousands of other possibilities.
I don’t want to overwhelm you. But I also refuse to bullshit you. A lot of people out there want you to think pain is simple or easy to “fix.” Sometimes it is. Often, it is not. But thinking it should be simple when it is not will guarantee you frustration and spinning your wheels.
Or worse, it may cause you to feel defective, because if you believe healing “should” be fast but your pace is not “normal” (a lie told to you by someone) then you’re likely to not feel normal, which can cause shame and self-blame.
If you’re willing to acknowledge that your pain feels complex, that’s a starting point for simplifying it.
