This was so helpful. The mind is so powerful. I knew for months before I got myself deep into this pain that I was not being nice to myself and that I was super over stressed. I felt that I didn’t have the time or availability to change that- but now my body hasn’t given my a choice but to fix my self talk and my thoughts.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Glad it was helpful! Yes, integrating body + mind approach is powerful. No pressure, but if you’re interested- I’d be happy to review your case to see if/how I can help. If you’re open to that - just visit www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/apply 👍 Hang in there and thanks for watching!

[@lalaboha]

Wow! A Dr that talks about how fear can effect our pain and healing. You’re next level. 👍 😊

[@drcharliejohnson]

Thanks for watching.

I love what you say here. I truly believe that our bodies relate to what we are thinking and our 'state of mind'. I have noticed that I have spent a lot of time, sort of 'mad' at my body for not performing like it should, or looking like it should. Instead of loving our body and realizing its 'magnificence' we often condemn and criticize it, therefore increasing the problems we hate. Most people have that love/hate relationship with their bodies, with hate being more predominant. Its nice to hear this. We all should be reminded from time to time this stuff. I needed that reminder. Thanks. 😊

[@esterkahingunga5813]

Thank you Dr. Charlie very helpful idea…

[@GeneMoretti]

I watched the whole 45 minute video waiting for some exercise to relieve my butt pain and I didn't see any exercises.

[@inspiredtothriveMarie]

It was nice meeting you and I look forward to working you with and your course!

[@drcharliejohnson]

Thanks Marie! Awesome chatting with you as well 👊🏼. See you on the inside 👍

[@gigigoodwitch8198]

Once again you've put me in a better place and then I have to get up and try to walk and boom the shocking butt pain grabs ahold of me. Once that happens I'll try breathing through the pain, but I'm not sure how to manage it from there. I do appreciate your words of wisdom. 💚

[@drcharliejohnson]

Hey GiGi! thanks for watching. Gotta find something to do either A. before getting up B. While getting up or C. while walking to reduce symptoms... time to do some detective work!

[@drcharliejohnson]

[@BrandyWiseNL]

Great advice. Shifting my believes that all my moves are for the win now; to feel good, free, happy, strong, bright and more me. Every single day. How exciting is that 😚 Relaxing myself into normal life. With loads of gratitude. It has been such a shitty, I mean great journey.

[@EmmanuelBrandt]

your guide is of a great help, congratulation for this brillant knowledge elicitation

[@drcharliejohnson]

Awesome Emmanuel! 👊🏼. Glad I could help you!!

[@shauncunningham8628]

Thank you, that was fantastic Charlie. I thought ' at last some one who links the brain and the body as one' which many PT doctors don't ( and other medical professionals ). I think alot of my pain, which is in my butt and right leg stems from stress and anxiety, simply because it changes all the time and of unknown cause. I actually felt better by the end of your vid.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Hey Shaun! thanks for watching man- and sorry to hear about what you're dealing with. Let me know if ya need help. No pressure, but would love to see if/how I can coach you through this. Hang in there!

[@canihelpyou9067]

i’m so glad i found your channel. i don’t have pain, but numbness and tingling going from left butt down to my foot, possible from increases activity after living a sedentary lifestyle. i want to prevent pain from happening and your channel is a great resource.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Awesome! Glad we crossed paths! Let me know if ya need help! Appreciate your support!

[@pk512279]

Such a good message Dr. Charlie. Teaching people they can control the direction their mind is headed helps with much more than back/butt/physical ailments.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Thanks Rick and yup- so many applications for this! Thanks for watching!

[@alimaatouk5966]

Dear Dr Charlie. I'm a 44 year old male who was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction after years of being misdiagnosed with multiple issues ranging from an enlarged prostate to colon issues. Months of antibiotics did nothing to help me until I sought out pelvic floor pt myself. After 16 or so pt sessions I feel my condition has greatly improved. I don't suffer from groin and testicle pain anymore but my glute pain hasn't subsided. Months of stretching, rolling and trigger point release haven't been able to cure my pirifomis pain that radiates down into my calves. I'm really hoping this helps me with my nerve pain.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Hey man! Glad pelvic floor PT has helped a bit. As for the other symptoms- are you open to potentially working together? No pressure, but I'd be happy to review your case and see if/how we can help. If you'd like- just visit www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/apply and select a time to chat with us. Hang in there!

Hello very good video I have been battling chronic pain now for year and half I have had an anxiety disorder since I was young I know that really doesn’t help my pain so I will try to do the steps really enjoy your feedback

[@drcharliejohnson]

Yup- very common (link between anxiety and pain). Hang in there colleen and let me know if you're interested in some help!

[@brianpatrickcork4513]

Got it. Think positively.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Sorta... but hard to think positively if you've got doubt about the source of symptoms or believe that the pain you're experiencing is due to tissue damage...

[@HermitUnion]

I’m watching this video and I’m thinking that this Dr Johnson is a quack. Breathe through it? Who the hell does it think he is, Wim Hoff? There is no way this breathing thing is going to work! Now I’m sitting here breathing through the pain and it is going. Wow…just wow. I’m not a new age tree hugger but here I am letting go of a ideas I am holding in my head. Thank you Dr.

[@drcharliejohnson]

Hey Jeff! Thanks for sharing! Appreciate you watching. I've been called a quack before... so no offense taken! Let me know if ya get stuck or need help. Charlie

[@EM-ml8jq]

Core exercisee light very little streches if any. Took 7 days to finally get back to normal. Direct cause of mine was sitting in chair for work. i let the chair go and now stand with desk thats mechanical..adjust ro height ..happy

Everything you say makes sense but it's so hard to retrain your brain not to think negative 😔

[@drcharliejohnson]

Like riding a bike- It takes practice... lower the stakes and don't be so hard on yourself... just keep showing up.

[@fineartlifestyling]

Pain is the only non habitual thing for humans or living beings. While the advice to NOT over focus on the pain is wise, it’s also highly unrealistic when you have been in it for years, spent thousands of dollars, and live in agony. After that kind of experience most people just don’t see a point in living and want to off themselves.

[@drcharliejohnson]

It’s challenging no doubt. But not unrealistic. The difference is taking actionable steps to change how you view your pain and the relationship you have with pain. Ignoring pain is not the goal (only fuels the pain more). Need to confront it- but from a place of safety not fear.

[@cynthialewis2096]

A pt isnt a dr, are they?

[@drcharliejohnson]

Of course they are. Doctor originates from the word "teacher"- then became something used to describe qualified medical providers. Most PT's have a Doctorate degree in physical therapy (DPT).
