This site is designed to provide you with information about the field of Mind-Body Medicine(MBM). The focus is on Tension Myositis Syndrome(TMS), a common cause of back and neck pain and other conditions. The approaches (Treatment) described here have been helpful to many people for relief from back and neck pain, RSI (arm pain), as well as a variety of other conditions such as tension headaches, irritable bowel (IBS), fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and even migraines (Related Conditions).
