Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast.

This episode continues pain science education of fibromyalgia

Because pain involves both the mind and the body, mind-body therapies may have the capacity to alleviate pain by changing the way you perceive it. If you've been in pain for a while, your brain may have rewired itself to perceive pain signals even after the signals aren't being sent anymore. 
The body-mind techniques, including somatic, guide patients to focus on their underlying physical sensations. 
Somatic work is a great addition to traditional psychotherapy. 
I recommend doing both cognitive and somatic work to help alleviate pain and other fibro symptoms. Somatic work relies on body awareness and physiological regulation.
Several somatic techniques help specifically well patients with pain and trauma. This episode focuses on somatic tracking as an example of using somatic work to help with pain and healing.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
