Injury and pain are a competitive athlete’s worst nightmare, ruining even the best-laid training plans. And when injuries become chronic, they can destroy confidence and even end athletic careers. But a revolution is taking place in our understanding of pain, which has profound implications for the treatment and rehabilitation of many chronic injuries. With more than 10 million recreational sports injuries occurring every year, as an athlete, you know that the pain associated with old injuries is one of the greatest barriers to your success.
Being able to manage pain can give you a competitive advantage over those who do not know how to apply these valuable skills. Even if you’re not an athlete, the feeling of physical pain can detract from your overall feeling of well-being and can have negative effects on your work performance. It can also prevent you from sticking to a long-term exercise plan.
