Or
Can Pain Education Lessen Chronic Pain with Adriaan Louw, DPT? (Ep 156)
In this illuminating episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with pain neuroscientist and physical therapist Dr. Adriaan Louw to explore the power of education in managing chronic pain. With a passion for helping people understand the "why" behind their symptoms, Dr. Louw breaks down the science of how the brain processes pain, why knowledge can reduce fear, and how changing your understanding can actually decrease your pain experience. Through engaging stories and evidence-backed insight, he shares how rewiring the nervous system starts not with a pill, but with a conversation.
Takeaways
Why pain persists even after healing has occurred
Connecting fear, misunderstandings, and pain
What you can learn about pain to start to reduce it
What clinicians often miss when treating chronic symptoms
How to approach pain as a brain-and-nervous-system issue—not just a body issue
