The 3-3-1 Principle
The human pain experience is complex, and it's easy to get caught up in the nuances and feel overwhelmed. Remember the 3-3-1 Principle to keep yourself rooted in a solid foundation.
Three basic types of pain: Nociceptive, peripheral neuropathic, and central/nociplastic.
Three best-evidence treatments: Education, movement, and calming down the nervous system.
