102. Shifting Our Body From a State of Tension to Safety and Stability with Dr. Jen Fraboni


Listen Later

Chronic pain, stress, and tension is something many people struggle with every day, especially when they work from home. Sometimes the pain can be so intense that it feels almost impossible to get relief. Luckily, there are strategies that you can incorporate into your daily routines to decrease stress and tension within your body.

On the podcast today, I chatted with Dr. Jen Fraboni about this topic. Dr. Jen Fraboni, PT, DPT, is an internationally-renowned physical therapist who specializes in helping people overcome chronic pain and maximize physical performance. As the founder of the new platform and app, Jen.Health, she brings a unique, whole body approach to strength, mobility and pain-free living. Dr. Jen is the co-host with her husband, who is also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, to a popular podcast called "The Optimal Body Podcast.”

Dr. Fraboni shares how we can release stress and tension with movements in our body, how it relates to the pelvic floor, and much more. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • What daily mobility looks like for most people, and what improvements we can make.
  • Breathwork and how it helps with day to day movement.
  • Incorporating different workouts like yoga to improve your mobility.
  • Home workouts and how they are beneficial for work at home moms.
  • How the pelvic floor can play a role in our pain structure.
  • Pelvic floor exercises and the benefits for pain relief.
