Healing Chronic Pain with the Power of the Mind – with Ben O’Loghlin

In this powerful episode of Healing Horizons, host Sima speaks with wellness educator Ben O’Loghlin, who transformed his personal battle with chronic pain into a mission to help others heal from within. After years of struggling with debilitating back, shoulder, and neck pain, Ben discovered that true relief doesn’t start in the body—it starts in the mind. He now teaches others how to tap into the brain’s power to release tension, using techniques rooted in the Alexander Technique. Whether you're living with scoliosis, daily tension, or unexplained pain, Ben's journey and insights offer real hope and practical tools for lasting healing.

About the Guest – Ben O’Loghlin:
Ben O’Loghlin is a wellness educator based in Canberra, Australia, and founder of BackRepublic.com. Once plagued by chronic pain, Ben found lasting relief by shifting his mindset and harnessing the power of neuroplasticity. Through the Alexander Technique and neuroscience-backed methods, Ben helps others reclaim their well-being by teaching them how to release bad tension and restore their body’s natural posture and calm.

Key Takeaways:

• Chronic pain often stems from the brain—not just the body.

• Mental stress sends signals that tighten muscles, intensifying physical pain.

• Relief begins with two core skills: inhibition (pausing reactive tension) and direction (retraining posture through intention).

• Pain is not always a sign of structural damage—it’s often a message to decode.

• You can start reducing pain today by practicing stillness and accepting discomfort without rushing to fix it.
