Job's Body: Due to the speed differential of sensations, bodywork can provide the touch that overrides pain, shifting the mind to a more pleasant focus.
Unfortunately, this same differential allows us to ignore pain and problems that need attention; we can keep our bodies occupied with innocuous sensations that reach our brains more quickly.
For these sitations, bodywork can help us increase self-awareness, so that we do not continue to distract ourselves.
