Pain-Free Healing: Tom Ockler's Neuromuscular Approach

Episode Overview

  • Tom Ockler shares insights on the risks of physical manipulations in physiotherapy
  • Importance of addressing the root cause of pain rather than chasing symptoms
  • Incorporating EFT to reverse and eliminate chronic pain
  • Empowering patients to heal beyond expectations
  • Finding the right practitioner for non-manipulative approaches
The brain has not gotten the message to let go of the pain signal... So even though we held on to this explanation for a long time, we just can't prove it.
If you’ve ever cringed at the thought of a chiropractor’s crack or a physiotherapist’s pop, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Maya Novak chats with Tom Ockler, an internationally recognized physical therapist, about a revolutionary way to eliminate pain without any of those uncomfortable manipulations. Ockler has been in the game for over two decades, and he’s all about neuromuscular techniques that get to the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.
This isn’t your typical physical therapy session; think more along the lines of tapping into your body’s own healing capabilities—literally. Ockler introduces EFT, or tapping, as a hands-on method to reduce or even eliminate chronic pain. He breaks down how trigger points can cause lingering issues long after an injury and what you can do when the pain just won’t go away.
This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to understand a different, potentially life-saving approach to physical therapy. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain yourself or supporting someone who is, Ockler’s insights could change the way you think about healing.
