MindBody Syndrome (TMS) Practitioner

The MindBody Syndrome (TMS) Practitioner (MBSP) course modality is designed to inform students about persistent chronic symptoms that fall under the category of MindBody Syndrome (neuroplastic pain, formerly known as TMS - Tension Myoneural Syndrome). These conditions develop as a result of emotional and lifestyle factors and are also called mindbody symptoms.

This course helps students understand the link between mind and body with regards to the onset and persistence of such symptoms, teaching them how to identify triggers, beliefs and habits that could contribute to mindbody conditions, and introducing them to simple, research-backed processes that can lead to the elimination of such symptoms.

The approach also involves introducing individuals to simple brain rewiring techniques based on pain neuroscience and neuroplasticity, to help overcome the conditioning process and eliminate modes of thinking and behaving (such as fear and avoidance) that may be responsible for the generation of symptoms. Students will also be introduced to simple relaxation and visualization practices that can help their clients regulate the nervous system and handle stress and anxiety more efficiently in their day to day lives. This modality focuses on a 100% psychological treatment, and does not deal with diet, nutrition or physical manipulation.
