Welcome to Rewiring Resilience, where we will be exploring the human pain experience while trying to provide insight and education on shifting physical therapy patients from chronic pain to recovery. While we are physical therapists, much of what we discuss will benefit other health care providers, as well as  people living with chronic pain. Thanks so much for being here. We'd love for you to join us on this journey.
