I recently came across a comment on social media that said, โ€˜Do not trigger the pain receptorsโ€™ in response to someone lying still on a foam roller. At first glance, it sounds logical, but when you understand modern pain science, it falls apart.

๐Ÿšซ First, pain receptors do not exist.
What we do have are nociceptors, sensory neurons that detect potential (or actual) threat such as extreme temperatures, pressure, chemical changes which send signals to the brain. But, and this is the key part, these nociceptive signals are not the same thing as pain.

๐Ÿง  Pain is an output, not an input.
More specifically, it is a perception created by the brain when it decides that a situation is threatening enough to warrant a protective response. This is why:
โœ”๏ธ You can have nociceptive input (signals from nociceptors) without pain.
โœ”๏ธ You can also have pain without nociceptive input (like in phantom limb pain).

๐Ÿ’ก So, what happens when you lie on a foam roller?
Nociceptors might detect pressure and send signals to the brain. But whether you experience pain or just discomfort depends on how your nervous system interprets the situation. Factors like:
๐Ÿ”น Past injuries ๐Ÿ”น Emotions ๐Ÿ”น Stress levels ๐Ÿ”น Expectations ๐Ÿ”น Context
all influence whether the brain decides that pain is required as a protective mechanism.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Pain does not live in the tissues.
It is not something you โ€˜triggerโ€™ like flipping a switch. Instead of blaming the tissue, we need to ask why the nervous system is interpreting something as a threat.

๐Ÿ“Œ Next time you hear someone say โ€˜do not trigger the pain receptorsโ€™, remember:
๐Ÿšซ There are no pain receptors.
๐Ÿšซ Pain does not live in the body.
๐Ÿšซ Pain is not a simple mechanical response.

Pain is a whole-person experience, not just a single-point event. Letโ€™s keep the conversation evidence-based and move beyond outdated ideas! ๐Ÿ™Œ
