EDSed, Episode 3: PT Elan Schneider on Neuroplasticity and New Chronic Pain Treatments

Widespread chronic pain is one of the main symptoms for people with any type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and can be debilitating. At the same time, many common treatment options, particularly with pain medication, lead to side effects. But what if we could reduce our pain without any negative consequences? Chronic Pain Partners' Editor-in-Chief Karina Sturm spoke with Dr. Elan Schneider, co-founder of the Retrain Pain Foundation and CEO of TrainPain, about neuroplasticity and how it can be used to develop new and innovative management options for chronic pain.

"Just do more Yoga!" - Yeah, I've heard that at least half a dozen times. Also, low-impact aerobics, water aerobics, recumbent bike, isometrics, etc. I literally rolled my eyes when he said, "Yoga".

Neuroplasticity and the exercises to use it, is one of the things I used to end MCAS and no longer present as someone who is hyper mobile for 3 years now.
It helped end 17 years of fentanyl and morphine for EDS/AS/TC/SM and neuropathy, osteoporosis etc. and now after cannabis medicine has me mostly pain, and pharmaceutical free.
