Manage episode 426454847 series 2658173
If the normal prescriptions for your pain (i.e. rest, mobility, strength, sleep, nutrition) aren't affecting you and your pain is still recurring, this one is for you! Missy did all the things she was recommended and advised to do for her knee pain to a tea and she lived her life with knee pain as her new normal until she was directed towards neurology. From Missy's story to defining neurology, navigating ankle sprains, diving into eye work and sense of smell, as well as playing around with neuro tests you can try at home, this podcast is filled with a variety of "brain hacks" that may be the answer to ridding your symptoms or enhancing your performance goals. Let's dive in!
