TMS Recovery: Mind-Body Breakthrough in Pain Relief

Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS), previously known as Tension Myositis Syndrome, refers to a group of emotionally-induced conditions including most cases of chronic or recurring back pain, neck pain, limb pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome/RSI and Fibromyalgia.

The TMS theory has been developed by Dr John Sarno, Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the New York University Hospital School of Medicine and author of Healing Back Pain, The Mindbody Prescription and The Divided Mind.

Although not yet integrated into mainstream medicine, Dr Sarno’s work has encouraged other Doctors and health professionals worldwide to incorporate a more integrated approach to their work, not just addressing the physical aspect of a health problem. Understanging the TMS concept can provide an answer to many people’s long term or recurring pain.  It can also teach us to be aware of how we internalise our stresses, often by bottling up our emotions as we go through life and what we need to do about this to prevent it affecting our health.

This site aims to;

• support TMS sufferers by providing information to help in their recovery
• raise the profile of the TMS concept in the UK
• provide details of other TMS trained practitioners in the UK
