About Pain
Did you know that most often the Main Problem is in a different part of our body than where the pain is?
Did you know that the latest neuroscience tells us that pain is an experience that is created by the brain?… and not actually a ‘feeling’ in any body part
Did you know the brain creates pain to protect. Pain can be created when there is, or isn’t, tissue damage.
If you would like to see some of the research evidence proving these concepts please ask.
A helpful analogy was written by world class pain researcher from Adelaide, Professor Lorimer Mosley*:
Pain is like the dashboard engine warning light signal of a vehicle.
The engine warning light turns on when a problem somewhere in the engine becomes great enough to tell the driver to take action to solve the problem.
The engine warning light does not reveal where the Main Problem is in the engine.
To get the warning light to turn off the engine needs to be thoroughly checked to find and fix the Main Problem.
Practitioners who have this understanding know that it is not helpful to 'treat the pain' [and other symptoms], as this would be like trying to fix the engine warning light on the dashboard.
This analogy helps us see the importance of testing for all possible parts of the problem in the body.
When the most significant factors in our bodies [such as muscle, joints, nerves, thoughts, feelings] are improved the result is that our warning [pain] lights turn off. And this is when we have no pain and can move freely and feel young again.
Youngify practitioners use this knowledge to solve the underlying cause of painful conditions.
