How to Break the Chronic Pain Cycle: Retrain Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life

Описание: Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 adults—but it’s not just “in your head,” and it’s not something you have to accept as permanent. In this video, we explore what chronic pain really is, how it impacts your brain and body, and most importantly, how you can take steps to reclaim your life.

🎯 You’ll learn:
Why chronic pain persists even after injuries heal
How fear, catastrophizing, and avoidance feed the pain cycle
How movement, mindset, and therapy can retrain your brain
Practical strategies like pacing, low-impact exercise, and mind-body techniques
How psychological therapies and mindfulness can reduce pain and improve your quality of life

Whether you're living with chronic pain or supporting someone who is, this video offers real hope—and science-backed tools—to help you break the pain cycle and begin your path to healing.
