Can thinking about healing make your running injury heal faster?

Whenever you consciously give your brain direction, your subconscious brain will go to work to achieve it. Your subconscious mind is not just controlling things that you want to happen but it's controlling things that you don't want, too.  If you focus on negativity, if you focus on your injury getting worse, you will probably get worse. So, the question is can you take this aspect of your brain and controlling your subconscious mind and use it to your advantage when you are trying to heal and get back to running? Can simply thinking about healing make your running injury heal faster?  Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
