The study of pain has seen significant developments in recent years shifting our understanding of pain from a purely physical symptom to a complex multifaceted experience that involves the nervous system, psychological factors and social conditions.As a yoga teacher, it's important to understand that asana, stretching, strengthening, and movement will not solve all pain related issues. There have been some instances where I've recommended restorative practices to students and that's helpful to assist in down-regulating the nervous system. However, restorative still does not address the entirety of bio-psycho-social aspects of pain and pain management.In this episode, I'll explain and compare the differences in what we know now about pain management compared to just five years ago.For reference: Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine:https://www.ccjm.org/content/ccjom/90/4/245.full.pdfClick HERE to send me a text & let me know your thoughts on this episode!
