Pain is like an alarm. The alarm goes off when the

Pain is like an alarm. The alarm goes off when the brain senses a threat to the body. Often this is because there is damage being done (ie burning your finger on a stovetop). This sensation causes you to protect yourself and remove the finger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes though, the alarm becomes “sensitized”. This means the alarm goes off when no real harm is being done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This could be like the fire alarm in a house. In my house, the alarm goes off whenever I cook bacon. There is no fire and no real danger- however, the alarm responds to the bacon cooking the same way as it would a real fire. The alarm has been sensitized.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big takeaways: pain tells the brain “listen up- there’s potential damage happening!”. And most importantly, this means that pain does not always mean there is damage or real harm happening in your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This has big implications for how we treat musculoskeletal pain! Physical therapy can help you understand your pain better, how to respond to pain and how to get back to pain free movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
