Pain isn’t always about a weak muscle or something being “out of place.” In this episode, physiotherapist Michelle Monk joins me to explore the psychology of pain—how stress, sleep, past injuries, and even our beliefs shape what we feel. We unpack common misconceptions, why fear can amplify pain, and how a more informed, whole-body approach can help you rebuild confidence and move forward.
