As human beings we can go through many emotions on a given day. Some of which may include, happiness, sadness, excitement, stress or overwhelm. When we engage in a specific emotional state that is not harmonious with our systems such as stress, upset, worry or anger, these states can be reflected in our bodies as patterns of tension. Most often these patterns are created out of our conscious awareness – on an unconscious level, and over time can manifest itself as a condition know as Tension Myositis syndrome causing back pain.

According to Dr. John E. Sarno who has worked with chronic back pain as an attending physician at The Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, (Considered the best rehabilitation hospital in New York and among the top ten in the country since 1989) one of the underlying causes of TMS can be psychosomatic, or stem from our inability to deal with our emotions in a healthy way. In his practice he helps his patients to overcome TMS through education and writing about emotional issues. For those who need further help in dealing with the emotional state behind their chronic tension patterns he includes psychotherapy and support groups.
