Dr. Ira Rashbaum is a leading expert on Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) and mind-body disorders at NYU Langone Health. He’s also a man who has a profound impact on my life personally. Dr. Rashbaum shares his journey of discovering TMS, working alongside Dr. John Sarno, and carrying on Dr. Sarno's groundbreaking work after his retirement.

We delve into the physical, mental, and emotional components of TMS, addressing common misconceptions and skepticism surrounding the condition. Dr. Rashbaum also provides insights into his approach to diagnosis and treatment, drawing from his traditional medical background and extensive experience helping patients. This is an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional beliefs about chronic pain.

If you would like to learn more about my experience with chronic back pain and TMS, I created an 8-part miniseries called Back On Top, which chronicles my entire journey.
