Know Pain. No Pain. 

? DID YOU KNOW ?

• Pain is a perception. Without the brain there is no pain. There are many factors that can shape pain such as past experiences, stress, etc.
• Tissue damage is not needed for pain but perceived threat is highly correlated with pain.
• You have the power to calm your nervous system and conquer pain even without opioids, surgery and other costly measures.
• Medical research shows the more you know about how pain works, the better you can feel!

In recent years there have been heaps of medical research and other resources. Here are some of my favorites:
