How Mind Body Movement Relieves Chronic Pain & Restores Confidence

What if chronic pain isn’t a structural problem—but a body-mind misunderstanding?

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Dan Ratner sits down with Mags Clark Smith, pain-relief movement specialist, educator, and co-author of the Psychophysiologic Disorders textbook, to explore how movement, safety, empathy, and body awareness can dramatically reduce chronic pain and restore confidence.

Dr. Dan Ratner, known for his work in the mind-body and chronic pain recovery space, guides this thoughtful discussion into how neuroplastic pain develops—and more importantly, how it can be reversed. Together, they unpack real clinical outcomes, including research conducted in collaboration with maternity hospitals and neuroscience departments, where patients experienced rapid and sometimes immediate improvements in pain and mobility.

In this episode, Dr. Ratner and Mags discuss:
• Why fear and miscommunication can lock pain into the nervous system
• How movement calms the body-mind and restores trust in the body
• The difference between mind-body vs body-mind healing approaches
• How empathy and safety accelerate chronic pain recovery
• Why body awareness leads to self-confidence and self-belief
• How neuroplastic pain applies to back pain, pelvic pain, injury, and more

Dr. Dan Ratner also reflects on how this Mind Body approach aligns with his own clinical experience, emphasizing that healing often happens when the body feels safe enough to move, sense, and reconnect—rather than being analyzed or “fixed.”

If you’re living with chronic pain, unexplained symptoms, or fear around movement—or if you’re a healthcare practitioner seeking a more effective and compassionate framework—this conversation offers insight, clarity, and genuine hope.
