Summary

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, doctors of physical therapy Doc Jen and Doctor Dom welcome pain scientist Dr. Rachel Zoffness to discuss the complexities of pain, especially how to relieve chronic pain, from a biopsychosocial perspective. Dr. Rachel explains that pain is influenced by physical, emotional, and social factors—not just tissue damage. The conversation covers common misconceptions, the lack of pain education in medicine, and practical strategies to relieve chronic pain. Dr. Rachel emphasizes hope, empowerment, and the importance of movement, emotional health, and education in preventing and overcoming chronic pain. Her upcoming book, Tell Me Where It Hurts, is also highlighted.
