Today on the show I speak with Neil Pearson. Neil is a physical therapist, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University British Columbia, and a certified yoga therapist - and in this conversation Neil and I take a deep dive into pain science. We discuss how pain is more complex than what we once imagined, how 10 different treatment plans could all positively impact someone's experience of pain, and why yoga is uniquely suited to helping people reduce pain and improve their quality of life.
