Ep 57: The Hidden Power of Emotions in Chronic Pain Recovery with Jim Prussack

About this episode

Jim Prussack discusses the role of emotions and mental habits in chronic pain recovery.

Most chronic pain is not a structural problem hiding in your body's tissues. It's your brain's neuroplastic response. I'm joined by Jim Prusak, a seasoned physical therapist turned pain science expert, who reveals how transforming your emotional and mental habits can break the pain cycle for good. This episode explains how pain can be a symptom your brain produces, and how your mind holds the power to heal it.
