Rick Olderman joins me for a second time to talk more about healing the pain patterns that we develop as we go through life. He shares some valuable insights as to where these chronic pains originate and how to truly move on to a pain free life.

Episode Notes

Rick Olderman, MSPT comes back to discuss his new book Pain Patterns: Why You Are in Pain and How to Stop It. He helps us understand how he connected the dots between the following concepts to create a healing treatment plan for chronic pain.

• The Connection Between Movement, Fascia and Reflexes in Pain: Most people don’t realize that their daily movement habits—how they walk, sit, or stand—is connected to strong lines of fascia (connective tissue) running through the body and deep reflex patterns we’re born with.
   
• "Functional Linking" – The Link Between Past Injuries and Current Pain: Many of us have old injuries that we may have forgotten but still seem to haunt us. I’ve introduced the concept of "Functional Linking," which explains how these past injuries can silently contribute to current pain, offering new paths to healing.
   
• A Potential Pathway by which Psychological Trauma or Stressors Might Manifest as Physical Pain: This has to do with a little known type of fascia that is triggered to contract by hormone-like molecules released during stress or trauma.
