From Fear to Freedom - How Guided Movement Heals Chronic Pain

From Fear to Freedom - How Guided Movement Heals Chronic Pain

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Mags Clark Smith, a specialist in somatic work and mindfulness, and a contributor to a textbook on psychophysiological disorders. She highlights how guided movement can alleviate chronic pain by reducing fear and anxiety, which amplify pain responses. She emphasizes creating safety and trust to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and overcome resistance to movement. Her work has proven particularly impactful in areas like pregnancy-related pelvic pain, where fear worsens discomfort. She explains how her approach combines reducing fear and fostering movement to promote healing, setting it apart from traditional pain management methods that often overlook the emotional and neurological dimensions of chronic pain. Download the transcript. Mags draws on her extensive knowledge of the body through dance, psychology and non-verbal communication to empower people to move with confidence and resolve chronic pain. Mags offers one-to-one Resolving Chronic Pain consultations and Body Control Pilates classes, as well as taking part in chronic pain research and giving guest talks and lectures on chronic pain.
