Today's guest is physical therapist Ben Kraus. I invited Ben on to the podcast because of his progressive and thoughtful approach to working with patients that may be surprising, but truly helps people get better in a way they never expected. 

This episode is basically a crash course in learning about why you're in pain and how to get out of it. 

So if you're someone who has ever dealt with acute or chronic pain (basically....everyone?), listen in because this episode may just change the way you take care of your own body and advocate for yourself forever.

Some conversations we dive into:

• why educating yourself around how pain actually works can help you feel better faster 
  
  
• why looking at a person as a human being and not just a group of body parts changes everything
  
  
• why making sure that your coach or PT cares about what matters to you can make all the difference in helping you feel better
  
  
• why trusting the person you work with will dictate your success
  
  
• how to shift your perspective from being fearful of movement and injury to embracing movement as a way to become stronger and more capable
  
  
• why getting comfortable experimenting with different ways to move can help improve your pain
  
  
• why  movement is essential to dealing with chronic pain and how it can help you get back to your life faster and stronger
  
  
• why and how rest after pain and injury is misunderstood and misused
