Expand your understanding of pain from physiotherapist Peter O'Sullivan as he debunks common myths about pain. In one of our most popular episodes to date, Peter and Mark discuss the social and cultural constructs of pain, the links between pain and mental health, as well as living with and managing pain. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what pain is and how we need to dig deeper into exploring the causes of pain to achieve better wellbeing.
In this episode, you'll learn about:

How our perception of pain is significantly learned through society and culture.
How common ideas around pain and pain management aren't evidence-based.
How your body isn't a 'machine' – it's an organic, living thing that can be repaired and rejuvenated.

Our favourite quotable moment:
"Hope is one of the key ingredients for change. The body is plastic; the nervous system is plastic. It changes all the time; it has the capacity for change. It's built-in, so we need to be promoting hope - not naïve hope – not cures – but hope for the ability to learn, hope for the ability to adapt." Peter O'Sullivan (1:09:21)
