Why does pain stick around even after your injury should be healed? In this episode, hosts Tarek Michael-Chouja and Jay Hedley sit down with Garrett Salpeter to break down how to retrain your nervous system for faster injury recovery and improved athletic performance. You will learn how the brain creates pain based on perceived threat, why traditional rehab can miss the real issue, and how to reduce protective tension, weakness, and fear-based movement patterns. This episode is especially useful for coaches, therapists, and athletes dealing with lingering pain or slow recovery. Listen now and get ready to reduce pain, improve movement, and recover with more confidence.
