Neil Pearson has spent over 30 years in the field of physiotherapy and pain management science.

0:00.0	All right. How are you? Are you new? I know there's a lot of new listeners tuning in these days. If so, welcome. This is Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. It's nice to have you. Thanks for tuning in.
0:24.5	For everybody who's returning, what's up? How's everybody doing? Thank you so much.
0:30.6	Everybody who's been reaching out and checking in with me to find out how I'm doing, how my pain is.
0:37.4	I really appreciate all of those supportive emails and
0:40.8	sentiments. It really helps. Thank you. I want to let everybody know I am doing much better.
0:47.2	I want to talk about it some today. It's perfectly appropriate given the talk we're going to have
0:52.1	today with Neil Pearson. In fact, the things that I talk about
0:55.5	with Neil in this talk are exactly the things that I'm doing to address my pain situation.
1:01.9	For those of you who are tuning in, I should say, I forget sometimes that people tune in
1:07.5	and haven't heard other episodes. And just to to know I like to spend a little time before
1:12.2	these talks checking in and letting people know what's going on and some people are into it.

1:21.8	ahead. I don't mind. But I do like to take a little time to touch base with people and those people who've been
1:31.6	tuning in know I've been dealing with some pain issues and you know I did a good job after I
1:39.5	spoke to you last time that week I did a really good job of resting and it got way, way better.
1:46.6	And come Friday, I was feeling a lot better and I was feeling so much more in my right
1:51.7	mindset. And I jumped right back in and did a full weekend's worth of work. And by the time I
1:57.8	was done with the weekend, I had sort of slid back some. I hate how I do that,
2:03.8	and I know I'm not the only one where, like, you get yourself into a situation and then you do
2:10.9	things to address it and make it better so you can go back to doing all the things that led to
2:16.6	that situation in the first place.
2:19.7	So, I mean, I caught it and it's fine and I rested more this week and it is better.
