How Pain Works: a 10min. intro

Earlier this month I gave a presentation about Osteoarthritis -- my favorite part about this presentation is talking about how pain works. Did you know that pain is a feeling that's produced by the brain?? It doesn't exist inside your tissues! That's the very first piece to understanding how pain works. Eventually, I'll offer an in-depth webinar about pain physiology. For now, take a look at this 12-minute introductory clip to get you started where I share a useful analogy to think about pain. At the end of the video, I ask participants to write down what they felt applied to them, what confused them, and what annoyed them. If you choose to participate in writing a few things down, I would truly love to hear from you and know if something resonated or didn't land with you.
