Chronic pain is rarely about a structure that hasn’t healed. More often, it’s the nervous system staying reactive long after the original issue has settled. Stress, disrupted sleep, reduced capacity, and previous pain experiences all influence how sensitive the system becomes. That’s why pain can feel intense even when scans or tests show nothing concerning. The goal isn’t to “ignore” pain or push through it it’s to understand what’s driving it, reduce sensitivity, and rebuild confidence in movement. Targeted strength, consistent load, breath, and predictable patterns all help recalibrate the system so it responds more accurately again. Clarity changes the experience. A calmer system changes the outcome. #findyourflow #londonphysio #chronicpain #backpain
