Steph specializes in guiding individuals from hands-on myotherapy treatment, to moving pain-free. In this discussion, we delve into the complexities of pain management and movement therapy, exploring the multifaceted nature of pain. We touch on the role of the nervous system, the flaws of isolated advice, and how bio-psycho-social care in rehabilitation is so important. Whether you're dealing with chronic or short-term pain, or simply want to better understand how your body functions to serve you, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
