Chronic persistent pain is an issue for people of all ages across the world; and although there has been decades of pain science research most people don’t realise that pain doesn’t always equal tissue damage or injury. This episode is all about chronic persistent pain and how we can all be more able to deal with pain of all kinds. Understanding pain is something all people can benefit from, because we will all feel pain of some kind in our life and even if not, understanding how to empathise or validate others pain experiences is essential.
