The "Muscle Whisperer" Says Back Pain is All In The Mind.

Just found this quite controversial article by Sarah Barns on the Daily Express website. In a nutshell Sophia Kupse, a holistic practitioner also known as the "Muscle Whisperer" is saying that back pain is all in the mind, caused by subconscious thought-patterns and the difficulties of modern life.

Sophia has noticed over 20 years in practise that 80% of the patients that presented to her with back pain had suffered no physical reason to account for it. It just appeared.

She has developed a holistic back pain treatment called Langellotti Tri-Therapy (LT Therapy) which is apparently giving good results. This therapy uses essential oils, massage, heat and ice to release the emotional and physical trauma of the muscles.

I'm personally not at all sure about this. If your back pain is all in the mind then why would you need a physical therapy to treat it?

Anyway I'm nothing if not open minded so if it works for some it's another treatment for back pain which could be explored. If you want to read the full article go here.
