TMS stands for Tension Myositis Syndrome, a condition popularised by a pioneer of pain alleviation medicine, Dr John Sarno. Other popular names for TMS, are psychosomatic pain, neurological pain, PPD and Mindbody Pain. Click here if you’d like to find out more about Mindbody pain.

The most common TMS/Mindbody Pain conditions are:

• IBS

• Back Pain

• Fibromyalgia

Which is why each of these conditions has a whole page dedicated to the treatment of them. However, there are countless other areas of the body where mindbody pain can show up.

It’s IMPORTANT to get diagnostic tests done to rule out anything serious, however prominent research is showing that even if structural abnormalities or chemical imbalances are found this does NOT explain pain.
