Ten things you need to know about pain and injury:
Living involves constant cycles of stress and recovery; degeneration and regeneration
Injury occurs when stress on a part of the body exceeds it’s load or recovery capacity
Stressors and damage can be beneficial or detrimental - it is the dosage which matters
There are no bad movements, just movements the body isn’t prepared to tolerate
Pain shows us the nervous system perceives a threat of damage (not always damage)
Whether an experience is labeled as threatening depends on our state of being
We can have pain with no damage, no pain with damage, or pain with damage
Pain should be seen as information with potential value, not useless experience
We can change our mindset, dosage or technique concerning particular movements
It is not permanent: your body is not a temple but a living, breathing thing that regenerates
