Episode 301 PJ Glassey – Back Pain and Your Brain

October 6, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

My guest, PJ Glassey discusses the emotional side of back pain and how a condition known as Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) is characterized by chronic pain, often in the back, neck, shoulders, and hips, and is caused by the brain’s response to repressed negative emotions and stress.

About Mr. Glassey:

PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book “Cracking Your Calorie Code” and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type.
