Drawing from a diverse education and many years of experiential knowledge I have created a simplified way to explain the “experience of pain”.  Amongst experts, neuromuscular pathology (pain the stems from and within the nerves and muscles) is discussed as the Internuncial Pool. In lamens terms, it explains how and when we recognize (experience) pain.  Our neuromuscular (electrical movement) system is predicated on Milliamps (mA) of electricity.  If you were to look at the body as a house, the spinal cord and brain stem would be the electrical main into the house with the nerves to all the soft tissue (muscles & fascia) being the wires behind the walls.  Within the house (body), the safe amperage that flows through the main cord is ~80 mA, anything above that the energy is dumped into the wires behind the walls (soft tissues).  This extra energy slowly creates an overload in the muscles & fascia. We then begin to feel what is felt as pain.  Slowly starting as discomfort (ache) that comes and goes between days and eventually intermittent hours.  If left unattended this “overload” of energy begins to change how the house, your body feels and performs.
