Pain is a very powerful and intense human experience. The last 20 years have resulted in a tremendous amount of evidence in terms of how we understand the perception of pain as it relates to musculoskeletal impairments. We now know that the unfortunate truth of the medical system is that pain is very often mismanaged. What we’ve learned is that our words, attitude, perceptions, culture, environment, genetics, and general health can play a much larger role in how we perceive and experience pain than the actual injury in many cases.
