Rick Olderman - "Understanding Pain Patterns"

Rick Olderman, author of Pain Patterns: Why You Are in Pain and How to Stop It, returns to talk with J about integrating movement, fascia, and neurological reflex patterns to address pain. They discuss three patterns that account for most spinal issues, functional links between past injuries and current pain, a macro view of fascial lines, cytokines and myofibroblasts, psychology becoming manifest in the body, nutrition and viscerogenic related pain, simple tests for assessment, and changing habits by feeling the truth more than thinking the truth.
