2026-10-31 32 min Lara Schwab

Description & Show Notes

Why can an old injury suddenly become painful again, even when it seems to have healed?
In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of pain, how the brain processes sensory information, and why previous experiences, expectations, and uncertainty can influence pain perception and movement.
