Tension Induced Pain or Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) is a
psycho-physiological disorder. In these disorders, physical pain is the direct
result of emotional factors. Your body is going through a physiological change
that has been initiated by psychological factors. Most of this activity is occurring
through your autonomic nervous system at the subconscious level.
You are familiar with migraine headaches and stomach ulcers being related to
stress/anxiety. Start applying this same type of thinking to your physical pain and
you are on the right track. When emotions (energy) are repressed they create
blockages in our system. This allows our normal free flowing energy to become
stuck and stored in our muscle and nerve tissue. The biochemical process taking
place is called oxygen deprivation. In this process the autonomic nervous system
will selectively decrease blood flow to muscle and nerve tissue. Blood flow is
closely regulated by emotional peptides, which signal receptors on blood vessels
walls to constrict or dilate, and this influences the amount and velocity of blood
(oxygen) flowing through them from moment to moment. From a psychological
point of view, emotional energy has been repressed and is causing inner tension
throughout our autonomic nervous system.
These repressed feelings are the catalyst for oxygen deprivation. Emotions that
are repressed become stuck energy. Decreased blood flow results in muscle and
nerve tissues that are receiving a insufficient supply of oxygen. The result is
physical pain, spasms, numbness and weakness.
In these pain disorders since the physical pain is not attributed to mechanical or
physical dysfunctions, but rather it is caused by the person's feelings,
personality, and their subconscious state. Emotions and mental activity
that generate physical pain are fear, anger, guilt, frustration, worry, resentment
and jealously. It has been found in these pain disorders that the people who are
highly likely to create physical pain as being similar to the Type A behavior traits.
These personality characteristics interact with stressful life situations, which,
then initiates the physical pain cycle. Our mind, as a defense strategy will repress
emotional energy deep into the subconscious so that we will not be aware of
these feelings or experience them. This repression causes inner tension in our
nervous system, which initiates a biochemical change in our muscles, nerves
\and tendons. These changes create pain, which our mind is using as a distraction
strategy so that we will focus our attention on the body and away from
disagreeable thoughts and emotions.
Belleruth Naparstek, author and psychotherapist states that, "emotions are
physical occurrences to the body. Hope, anger, love, and despair are biochemical
events. And psychotherapist are more and more coming to understand that core
psychological struggles appear to have actual locations in the body."
Elmer Green, the famous Mayo Clinic physician who pioneered
early work in biofeedback says, "every change in the physiological state is
accompanied by an appropriate change in the mental emotional state, conscious
or unconscious, and conversely, every change in the mental emotional state,
conscious or unconscious, is accompanied by an appropriate change in the
physiological state."
Neuroscientist and research professor, Dr. Candace Pert has contributed to
much of the ground-breaking research on this subject. She states, "I believe all
emotions are healthy, because emotions are what unite the mind and the body.
Anger, fear, and sadness, the so-called negative emotions, are as healthy as
peace, courage, and joy. To repress these emotions and not let them flow freely
is to set up a dis-integrity in the system, causing it to act at cross-purposes
rather than as a unified whole. The stress this creates, which takes the form
of blockages and insufficient flow peptide signals to maintain function at the
cellular level, is what sets up the weakened conditions that can lead to disease."
The disease that Pert refers to we can easily identify as the pain sensations
that we feel in our body in these disorders. A simple explanation to how inner
tension/stress creates physical pain is to remember that all thoughts and
emotions are energy. An emotion or feeling is being denied or avoided and
because of this repression it is now blocked, stored or stuck energy in our
body. This blocked energy is raising havoc (tension) in our body because it
wants to be experienced . There is a part of you, energy, trying to be expressed
and a part of you, energy, that is holding this expression down and most of this
is happening under our awareness--in our subconscious.
This intense conflict is now erupting in our bodymind. The tension from this
inner conflict will eventually erupt as a concentrated experience of pain.
Blood flow as been chronically constricted depriving our tissue of oxygen.
Our intention is to heal, to get rid of the pain disorder. We do this by keeping
the information, our energy and emotions, flowing freely and communicating
within and about our bodymind system in a balanced, open, efficient way.
When we do this we no longer have energy being stored, blocked and stuck.
When our system is open and free, we have linked our psyche (thought, emotion
and spirit) to our physical bodies (molecules, cells and tissue) in a free flowing
exchange and simulation of the information energy.
This requires a daily practice of emotional and present moment awareness. A
waking, working mindfulness of who we are being.

1. You must begin to ACCEPT the TMS diagnosis. Which leads to the next VITAL step.
2. You must begin to "think" psychologically. This means instead of, "how did I injure my
body" or "how can I treat my injury" or "which doctor can fix my injury"...You now must use
your pain symptom as a signal to your self and ask, "what am I feeling right now", or "what
is causing me to feel (stress, tension, anxiety) right now". My book devotes four (4) chapters
to this Vital process.
3. You must STOP all physical treatments and begin to develop the practice in Step 2. This is
the challenge for most. Stopping the physical treatments and even the "thinking" of physical
treatments and instead focusing on how you are generating (tension, stress, anxiety) within
your self.
These are the Keys to reversing the pain cycle. Simple? Yes. Challenging? Yes. Is there more
to it than this? Not really. This is a personal pain disorder uniquely tied to your personality
and dominant thought processes. Understand and practice this truth and you will heal. You
don't have to do this alone though. My book and audio program can help you tremendously.
