Over the last few weeks I’ve come across two resources that I think do an outstanding job summarizing the current state of pain science. Simply, pain is something that everyone, especially athletes, will experience at some time throughout their lives. Understanding pain, therefore, becomes extremely important. Of particular interest is the idea that pain is an output of the brain, and can be a symptom of our interpretation of an injury or event as much as a sign of mechanical damage.
The video below features a talk from Lorimer Moseley, one of the prominent researchers in this area, and is as entertaining as it is informative. The article is a guest post from Matt Danziger at Dean Somerset’s website and does a good job explaining the concepts using slightly different language. Enjoy!
