Clinical Consideration
Manual techniques targeting interoceptors can influence ANS mediated
changes such as an increase in local blood flow and ECM hydration. In
addition to physiological effects, interoceptive mediated psychoemotional
benefits can also be derived (Schleip 2003a, 2003b).
Pain
The nervous system includes the patient from skin cell to sense of self. It
might be a tiny thing, at only 2% of the whole body, but it’s what keeps us
alive, and creates a pain for us to feel somewhere.
Diane Jacobs PT (2014)
Pain is described as an ‘unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated
with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage’
(Mersky & Bogduk 1994; see Table 4.2).
