Back On Top - EP. 06
Tim consults Dr. Ira Rashbaum, a TMS specialist at NYU Langone Health. Rashbaum, who worked under Dr. Sarno, identifies TMS markers in Tim's skin discoloration and advises against surgery. Despite large herniations on Tim's MRI, Rashbaum attributes his prolonged pain to TMS, urging him to reject structural diagnoses. Reading "The Mindbody Prescription," Tim undergoes a mental transformation. He challenges his physical restrictions by bending over and touching his toes for the first time after 7 months. This clearly signifies to Tim that he is finally on the path to recovery. Rashbaum's approach, emphasizing psychological understanding and swift return to normalcy, contrasts with previous physical therapies.
