Summary
Nerd out on pain science, what it's like doing scientific research, getting papers published, and what we understand about pain interventions for humans. Jayson Ball, staff coach & PhD student, rejoins the podcast with CJ Gotcher.
The Pain of Scientific Research
What does science look like from the trenches of laboratories, where experiments are designed and executed, papers are submitted and defended, and knowledge is furthered?
Jayson is mid-way through a PhD program. He has transitioned from spending most time in the classroom to now spending more time in the laboratory.
Research takes much time, and some studies end with apparent dead ends (though knowledge & benefits to those involved can always be gleaned). He enjoys the process, and conducts as much research as possible to learn as much as possible.
Nerding Out On Pain Science
Jayson & his colleagues focus their research on rats. Rats enables some methods & interventions that are not possible with humans, but how much can be gleaned from experimenting with rats is always an issue.
Rats love exercise. Put a running wheel in a container with a rat, and you will get high compliance. Put a treadmill in someone's house, and the same result does not follow.
Pain and exercise research focuses on mechanisms, not interventions. Psychosocial interventions best serve humans (at least for now).
Biological interventions (e.g. pain killers) come with serious side effects. Psychosocial interventions such as not catastrophizing help people deal with pain and recover from injuries.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real-life |
| 0:28.1 | transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal barbell |
| 0:32.4 | logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they are |
| 0:36.6 | driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they care |
| 0:41.0 | deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that price is |
| 0:46.1 | always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for something. But |
| 0:50.0 | our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully deciding where to |
| 0:54.0 | invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they invest their |
| 0:57.8 | time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that you could |
| 1:02.1 | waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds like you, |
| 1:06.3 | I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four workouts a |
| 1:11.3 | week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will give you all |
| 1:15.5 | of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is it ends up |
| 1:20.7 | costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself and you |
| 1:25.2 | get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about on |
| 1:28.8 | yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
