Chris 3's Recovery Journey

In 2015, during a PT session, Chris came away with awful pain across the thoracic region of his back, spanning horizontally from one side to the other. Time passed and the pain persisted, through the acute time period of 3 months and if anything, the pain got worse and the painful area was expanding rather than improving. During a 4-year period, just like many of our clients, Chris tried a number of specialists but throughout this period, the symptoms increased to the lower back and shoulders however he would get periods of weeks or months at a time which were pain-free and he could not really say why or what had changed to give such relief.

Chris’s journey eventually led him to Dr Sarno and then to SIRPA. Eventually Chris read ‘Healing Back Pain’ by Dr John Sarno. “Reading this book was like reading a diary of the experiences I had encountered and the personal character traits, I hold, which may contribute to my ongoing pain. I was convinced my issues were in line with Dr Sarno’s theory for persistent pain.” Chris worked with Georgie Oldfield alongside working through SIRPA’s online recovery programme and at the point of recording his story he had been free from persistent pain for 7 months.

Chris joined us for a live Q&A where he explains his journey and answered viewer’s questions, you can watch the replay of this Q&A below.
