Chronic pain isn’t always a tissue problem.

In many cases, the tissue has already healed… but the nervous system remains sensitized.

In this episode, I sit down with physical therapist Jeremy Baber to discuss how chronic pain changes the brain, nervous system, and movement patterns — and how his Baber Method helps retrain the nervous system to restore normal function.

This conversation will completely change how you think about pain, recovery, and performance.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ Why chronic pain often persists long after tissues have healed
✅ How the brain and nervous system control pain perception
✅ What happens when your nervous system becomes sensitized
✅ Why traditional stretching and strengthening sometimes fail
✅ The connection between the motor cortex, sensory cortex, and movement
✅ How the Neural Activation Screen helps retrain the brain
✅ How wearable bio-frequency patches stimulate and calm the nervous system
✅ Why chronic pain sufferers are often “wired differently”
✅ How to retrain your nervous system and restore normal function
✅ What this means for athletes, active adults, and anyone stuck in pain

Chronic pain is not just physical — it is neurological.

The Baber Method provides a brain-based approach to retraining the nervous system and restoring proper communication between the brain and body.

If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or years despite doing everything right, this episode is for you.
