chronic pain
One of my clients came in recently with a flare of his IBS symptoms. This person reported pain in his hip as well as his lower back during his IBS flares. He also noted that the previous week had been very stressful at work. I mentioned that his stress level might be related to his increase in symptoms. And he asked me how. Here is a bit of my response.
People often ask me about visceral mobilization/manipulation. They often ask questions like What the heck is that? Aren’t you a PT? Is it like Reiki? Are you going to rearrange my internal organs?
Trauma can significantly contribute to chronic pain through complex mechanisms. Psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can heighten the perception of pain, leading to chronic pain conditions. Additionally, physical trauma, injuries, or accidents can result in tissue damage and altered neuromuscular responses, potentially leading to persistent pain.
