Did you know that the best way to predict if someone has back pain, is not to do an MRI of their spine, but of their brain? Research shows that most of the pain does not come out of physical damage, even if the doctor says so, but from stress, high demands and worrying. And the way to healing is not pain killers or surgery, but easing the stress and reseting your brain.
Key takeaways
- Pain is the brain’s way to signal danger. The brain will signal danger when the negative parts of your life is to much. It can be stress, pressure, fear, worrying etc. Even positive stress can make the brain signal danger.

- If you reduce the stress, you also reduce the pain. Go listen to episode 4 to learn how to reduce stress.
