A Path From Pain

Living with pain, you've heard:

'Don't move like this!' 'Do this one thing!'

So what is the truth? Well, it is a grey area. I know, that isn't exactly what you want to hear, but stay with me, this is a good thing!

Persistent pain is not what we used to think it is.

This is the third video in this series, if you haven't watched the first 2, I recommend going to the beginning, but honestly, you do you!

Let's talk about what moving our bodies really means and how we have to shift the lens when we are living with pain. Not so much that we can never move again!

I went from being told to never bend over again, to dead lifting regularly. But we need to find OUR starting point.

If you are interested in learning more, I offer a 6 week program that blends learning online with one on one support.

Don't 'wait' until you are ready.

Let's find your starting point today and build your path forward.

Today we'll dive into thinking about what recovery means for us.

Yes, ideally we are pain free, but pain is actually very helpful at protecting us from danger, so we will not be fully getting rid of it. This can be a tough part, but think about the things that you miss doing? What do you want to get back to? That is your path to recovery.

So let's reconsider what our recovery is.

We'll also be building on our breathwork practice. Remember, it is practice. Practice gives us the ability to use this tool when we need it. Learn a new approach to pain management in this second part of our series.

We examine how shifting your perspective on recovery can help. I encourage you to take notes during this discussion. Writing down concepts that resonate with you is a key step in applying this new pain science to your daily life. By actively engaging with these ideas, you can start to see how your mind influences your physical state.

Join me for this 3 day program looking at the ways we’ve looked at chronic pain (and still often do) and ways to reconsider these views based on the research and experiences of people who are living with pain.

Using evidence-based research in modern pain science, I'll help you put together a bigger, understandable picture of why you may be experiencing the constant, exhausting, daily pain that you are living with.

Ideally this short series will help you find a path forward and understand why standard approaches to chronic pain management so often miss their mark. By reconsidering your approach to pain management, you gain the tools necessary to navigate your health with greater confidence.
