Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain. Understand this, end your pain!

I am making this video because I have been told by some close to me that people think that the Yass Method is only used for those in chronic pain moving to the end of their ropes where there are simply no other options. This is simply not true. The Yass Method can be and should be used for any one suffering with pain from 1 day to 50 years. The time frame is not the important issue to the use of the method.

The use of the method is based on the understanding that pain is the result of a tissue in distress. The pain itself is not an entity. It is a signal of a tissue trying to create conscious awareness of the distress of the tissue so an intervention can be performed to resolve the distress of the tissue. Once resolved, the tissue no longer has to emit the emergency distress signal of pain and it ceases.

So whether having pain for 1 day or multiple years, the premise of identifying the tissue in distress is the key to resolving the pain. Now what I have determined is that in more than 98% of cases the cause of pain is muscular. There are 4 mechanisms that allow muscle to create pain. So when talking about acute pain, the cause is in more than 98% of cases muscular.

Chronic pain is defined as constant pain for greater than 3 months. So what is chronic pain? Misdiagnosed acute pain. If you don't identify the cause of pain properly in the acute stage (as I mentioned it is muscular in more than 98% of cases) then the tissue continues to be in distress and elicit the emergency distress signal of pain INDEFINITELY! So if you have pain for a sustained period of time doesn't mean anything regarding the severity of the distress of the tissue eliciting the pain. It can simply mean that the tissue has not been diagnosed yet.

"Pain is complex". This is the battle cry of the medical establishment. They say this because they don't know how to diagnose the cause of pain in the acute stage which leads to chronic pain. And if you don't have the answer in the acute stage and you don't have the answer in the chronic stage, this would infer that pain is complex. But the reality in the world of Yass is that it is not so complex. Understand how to identify the tissue in distress eliciting your pain and resolving the distress of that tissue gets much easier. Once resolved, the tissue ceases eliciting the emergency distress signal of pain; end of story. Now are you ready to get the Yass Method?
