What's Sensory Modulation?
Sensory modulation is the brain's ability to adjust its sensitivity to different types of sensory information. This allows us to focus on important things, like our friend's voice in a noisy coffee shop, while filtering out less important thoughts, sensations, and other distractions.
Sometimes, due to reasons such as stress, an old injury, or even genetics, the brain can struggle with this modulation. The brain get can get "stuck" over-focusing and amplifying certain sensations or thoughts, such as pain, stress, or repetitive worry. The TrainPain program is designed to address this.
By incorporating gentle tactile sensations and engaging in sensory perception exercises, you can train your brain's ability to choose which sensations get dialed up, and which sensations get filtered out.
