Unlearning vs. Retraining – The Neuroscience of Recovery & Pain Relief | #305

From Pain to Possibility · Mar 13, 2025 · 22m

In this episode, I explore the idea of "unlearning versus retraining" to help manage and reduce physical pain. I talk about neuroplasticity and motor control, sharing my own journey of overcoming chronic pain by retraining my movement patterns. I explain how the nervous system replaces old habits instead of erasing them, and I advocate for making gradual, pain-free movement adjustments. I also offer practical steps to reinforce better movement patterns, helping to build an understanding of how to alleviate pain and improve functionality.
