Erik Dalton's video: Understanding Pain as Sum of All Inputs - Massage Therapy

In this video from one of my MAT Oklahoma City Workshops, I demonstrate how to use Vladimir Janda's muscle testing technique to explain how pain is the sum of all inputs. It's the mind-body connection at play here. Pain is the sum of all its inputs - you're feeling fine and then all of a sudden you get a cold and your low back starts hurting, that's the cortical processes working in the brain. If your brain is already protecting something that's bothering it, like stuck joints and limbs, limited range of motion and parts of the body that are being guarded - that's information going into the brain. Bodywork, stress, massage - we lower that stress in many ways so there's not so much stressful information going in. Muscle testing after a negative sensory input demonstrates how that works.
