Reverse Therapy can treat any kind of pain condition that is either a) functional in origin or b) where the pain worsens at times of stress, or emotional difficulty. Such conditions include Fibromyalgia, Migraine, Neuralgia, Stomach pain, Headache, Back pain, Tension myositis and Myofascial pain.

Important note. Please do not seek treatment for any pain condition without first consulting your medical doctor. It is important that the source of the pain is diagnosed and possible causes are established. It is vital that serious, or life-threatening disorders, which may be linked to the pain are also ruled out following a thorough medical check.

Functional pain conditions such as Fibromyalgia are non-specific illnesses in which Bodymind is using the pain, amongst other symptoms, to warn the individual that she is at risk of harm. Reverse Therapy can treat such conditions in the way described on the What is Reverse Therapy page.

Other pain conditions are not initially triggered by Bodymind but are caused by some other weakness, or fault, or injury. For example, Migraine is caused by an unknown mechanism in the brain which makes the blood vessels on the surface dilate.
It is possible that Migraine may be genetic in origin. Yet, as many sufferers will confirm, Migraine attacks are often more frequent when they are upset or under pressure. It is also possible that Migraine is a functional condition, as described above.

In such cases, Bodymind is using the symptoms of an existing condition, as a 'short-cut' towards getting the individual's attention to the need to resolve situations in the environment.

Reverse Therapy treats functional pain conditions like Fibromyalgia by addressing situations in which Bodymind is using symptoms to get the individual's attention to something – and in order to guide, warn and protect the person from harm.

Other pain conditions require a different approach. Here, the focus is on reducing pain by checking to see if Bodymind is increasing pain to warn the individual that he is not paying enough attention to his emotional needs in certain situations. For example, a Migraine sufferer might notice that the headaches get worse when she gets frustrated. Noticing this, Reverse Therapy then goes on to establish new ways of acting upon, and resolving, the Bodymind emotion of frustration.
