π₯ MESSAGE BEHIND THE MERCH π₯
π§ THERE IS MORE TO PAIN THAN TISSUE DAMAGE π§
π Pain is an unbelievably complex topic and it is one that as a society we have a very skewed perception of. We tend to associate pain with structure and damage and often assume there is a linear relationship between the amount of pain we experience and the amount of damage there is, this is far from the case π.
π€π Whether you've had pain for a short time or a long time there are a multitude of factors that affect the amount of pain we experience. Our attitudes and beliefs around pain, our confidence in dealing with pain, our thoughts, feelings and emotions not to mention any number of environmental factors like sleep, nutrition, exercise, finances and social isolation, the list goes on.
πIn recent years, particularly last year, it seems society is far more comfortable admitting, acknowledging and understanding that our physical health and our mental health are intrinsically linked, which is progress, but there still appears to be a big gulf in our acceptance that pain is also affected by more psychosocial factors. But it makes sense we're complex beings we thoughts, feelings and emotions, not just machines with tendons, bones and ligaments.
