    The REAL Reason You're Not Healing: Nervous System Secrets You've Never Been Told

    In this powerful episode of Your Healing Team, host Emma Green—licensed physical therapist and Tennis Elbow Queen—dives deep into the nervous system's role in chronic pain, injury, and recovery. If you've been stuck in a cycle of stubborn symptoms despite doing "everything right," this might be the breakthrough you need. You'll learn: What the nervous system actually is—and how it works Why tingling, numbness, and nerve pain are messages (not malfunctions) How pain gets "memorized" by your brain What central sensitization is—and why it matters in long-term healing How a chronically stressed nervous system blocks tissue repair Science-backed ways to calm the nervous system and switch from "fight or flight" to "rest and heal" This episode highlights the cutting-edge neuroscience behind healing and introduces you to Empowered Relief®, a mind-body pain relief class developed by Stanford University pain psychologists—now available online with Emma. If you've been battling pain for 3+ months, struggling to get lasting relief, or just curious about the brain-body connection, this episode is a must-listen. 🧠 Key Takeaways: ✔️ Peripheral nerve symptoms (tingling, numbness, pain) signal deeper nervous system issues ✔️ Chronic pain can "rewire" the brain and create a hypersensitive pain response ✔️ Healing requires more than physical treatment—it needs nervous system regulation ✔️ Parasympathetic activation (rest/digest mode) is essential for tendon, muscle & joint recovery ✔️ Simple, proven strategies—like breathwork, forest bathing, yoga, and Empowered Relief—can retrain the brain for healing 🔗 Links & Resources Mentioned: 👉 Learn about the Empowered Relief® class Emma teaches online 👉 Book a virtual consultation with Emma Green 👉 Explore more healing tools at TennisElbowQueen.com 💬 Connect with Emma Green: 📸 Instagram: @tenniselbowqueen 📘 Facebook: Tennis Elbow Queen PT 🎥 YouTube: Emma Green – Tennis Elbow Queen 🌐 Website: TennisElbowQueen.com 🎧 Subscribe & Share: If this episode helped you better understand your pain—or gave you new hope—please take a moment to rate, review, and share the podcast with someone who needs it.

The most common mistakes people make when dealing with chronic pain. How a holistic approach addresses the root cause instead of just the symptoms. Practical advice for anyone struggling with long-term pain. Why small, consistent changes can make a huge impact on healing. Dr. Candy also shares how he helps people locally and globally through his YouTube channel and virtual consultations.
