The Quiet Revolution: How Understanding Myofascial Release Transforms Pain w/ Julie McCammon EP 177

What if chronic pain isn't just about damaged tissues, but about how our minds interpret signals from our bodies?

Jules McCammon, a physiotherapist with over 35 years of experience, takes us on a profound journey through the fascinating relationship between our thoughts and our physical pain.

Jules shares her personal transformation from being with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia to discovering the powerful healing approach of myofascial release therapy. Her story begins with a courageous trip to India as a young physiotherapy student and continues through contracting viral meningitis in Nepal, which triggered years of debilitating symptoms.

Most compelling is Jules' revelation about the mind's role in perpetuating pain. She describes waking up completely pain-free after 18 weeks of excruciating back pain, simply because she managed to quiet her anxious thoughts. This experience led to her upcoming book "Quiet Mind, Quiet Body," which combines cutting-edge pain neuroscience with a deeper understanding of how our thinking creates our physical reality.

The discussion highlights fascinating research, including how patients' pain outcomes dramatically differ based solely on how medical professionals describe identical scan results. We learn that all pain is real—even when there's no physical damage—as illustrated by the builder who felt excruciating pain from a nail that passed between his toes without touching his skin.
