Pain: you certainly know it when you feel it, but how much do you really know about it?

For example, it turns out, it's not always all about the actual damage your bodily tissue receives. Some of the processes our body has it when it comes to pain are not only unexpected but mind-blowing, as this conversation with Jess Maguire reveals. 

Jess is a physiotherapist and author of The Nervous System Reset. Here, she breaks down complex concepts related to the vagus nerve and neuroplasticity, and shares practical tools we can all use to better regulate our nervous systems and handle pain in all its forms.

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, trying to manage stress, or just want to know more about your own body and mind, this episode is for you.
