Pain Neuroscience Education

Written By Knotry

Nobody can deny what you are going through. Your pain is very real. You are hurting.

Hurt is bad. Hurt is not necessarily harmful.

Pain is not a measure of health. It is a protector.

Learning about the how and why of pain helps you to

  • decreases your fear of moving or exercising, which will in turn decrease your pain

  • decreases your fear of the pain and and it’s effect on your life

  • better cope with daily activities that were limited by the fear of pain before
