Memory stored in body.. Answer for 'Phantom limbs'?

I remember hearing a while back, on a science podcast by Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki, that it is possible that memory is stored throughout the body aswel as in the brain. I'm not sure how correct this theory is, but if it is in fact true could it have any link to 'Phantom limbs'? I was thinking that maybe the body remembers how, an arm for example, moves or feels even when no longer there. This maybe sends signals to the brain (which knows the arm isn't there) but because the memory is stored elsewhere it causes confusion and leads you to interpret the memory as present truth. Could this be at all possible?
