Pain is something everyone feels, but few truly understand. In this episode, physiotherapist and educator Tim Trevail helps us unpack why pain is such a complex experience. We’ll explore why two people with the same injury might feel pain differently, how the brain shapes what we sense, and why education can sometimes be the best medicine. Tim also discusses how elite athletes reframe pain, and the myths that keep patients - and practitioners - from fully
understanding it.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why pain isn’t always a sign of damage
• How the brain and nervous system influence pain perception
• The truth about posture and why “motion is lotion”
• The impact of sedentary lifestyles and screen time on pain
• Simple ways to meet your weekly movement goals
• How strength training supports healthy ageing (& reduces injury risk)
• The connection between stress, anxiety & persistent pain
• Why understanding pain is the first step toward living pain-free
