The New Science of Pain with Karin Edwards Wagner
Room: Virtual
Pain, emotions, stress, it's all linked. And it's all about the
Nervous System! Let's explore how to shift our experience in this fun and informative class.
You may be surprised to learn that how our culture thinks about pain is all wrong, and the real story brings a message of hope.
The nervous system strongly influences how much pain we experience. Pain does not mean there is damage to the tissue. It means the brain wants you to be careful and pay attention! The mechanism for pain is more complicated than you might think. We will cover the science in simple terms, then experience how we can apply this information for our own body care.
Appropriate for the public, yet content-rich enough to be relevant for practitioners of all types. This class is not a substitute for medical care. Facilitated by Rolfer Karin Edwards Wagner for part of our True Self 200-Hour Teacher Training Program.

About Karin
I first tried Rolfing when I graduated from college, hoping that it would help with the back pain I'd had since high school. It turned out that improving my posture through Rolfing was the key.
The 10-session series resolved the chronic back pain, and it also dramatically improved my athletic ability. When I began practicing yoga, the movements felt easy and strong because my joints were better positioned and my movement was more coordinated. I trained to run a 5K without much discomfort, learned to ski as an adult, and got my blackbelt in Aikido. I tried each of those activities prior to receiving Rolfing, and felt a huge change after my Rolfing series. Rolfing helped me access my natural ability to move.
Now I've been a Rolfer for 15 years, and I love doing this work. Sometimes it is like following clues to unlock a puzzle, so we work together to solve the mystery.
