Today’s guest is Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee, founder of MoveMedUK—a clinician and educator specializing in restoring pain-free, efficient movement through a neurological approach to the body.

We dive into the central idea that movement is neurology. Rather than viewing pain as only a tissue problem, Dr. Coetzee explains how pain often reflects the brain’s protective responses, how movement patterns become “wired in” over time, and how they can be retrained with the right inputs.

In this conversation, we explore:

- what it really means to say that movement is driven by the nervous system

- why pain is often a protective output, not simply “damage”

- the differences between mobility, flexibility, stability, and control

- the 10 levels to include in a pain-free movement plan

- the pillars of healthy movement he teaches clients and clinicians

- practical first steps if you feel “stuck” in your bodyYou’ll hear both science and story

—and plenty of practical wisdom you can apply immediately in your own movement practice.
