MindBody Resources

Here are some links to some helpful resources that explain MindBody symptoms. The concept is known by different names in every field, including Psychophysiologic disorders (PPD), Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS), Psychosomatic symptoms, or Neuroplastic symptoms. The concept is the same across the board: that most chronic physical symptoms are not the result of localized tissue damage, but caused/exacerbated by learned neural pathways.
