Mind Caddie - Improve Your Mental Golf Game Pain and your Brain – Jim Prussack #344
A potential way back to playing with less pain
On today’s Mind Caddie we go in a slightly different direction but nevertheless one that I am sure will apply to so many people.
PAIN!!
A lot of us are playing golf in some form of pain or other
It may be acute pain or chronic pain
Chronic pain is at epidemic proportions
If you have had pain for over 6 months it is now a chronic issue
And as todays guest ‘The Pain PT’ Jim Prussack explains it is not as simple and as straightforward as we may believe.
All pain is generated by the brain which doesn’t mean that the ‘pain is in your head’
It is real and it hurts
But as Jim wonderfully explains when you understand the role of the brain in pain you can go in a different direction.
Much pain is a result of the brains PERCEPTION
Feeling of threat
When we reduce the threat we reduce the pain reaction
So much of this ties in with what we have explored on the Mind Caddie about the perception of threat and performance
You will find this interview fascinating and it may just give you some hope of different way to approach your pain
