Professor Lorimer Moseley explains how pain scientists are making amazing discoveries that can help you understand your pain, the first step in taming the beast.
As you’ll see, pain always involves the nervous system and how your nervous system can be retrained.
- “How do you know if your pain system is being overprotective?”
- “How do you retrain your pain system to be less protective?”
- “How do you know if you’re safe to move?”
Learning a little about pain neuroscience education can be helpful. [1]
What complements this is not only learning but experiencing how YOU can change or modulate your nervous system.
Use the tools yoga has to offer; gentle movement, breath and awareness practices… to soothe and calm the system. To ‘Tame the Beast’.
