If you've ever been confused about the terms 'flexibility' or 'mobility' and what they mean, then this episode is for you.

Continuing the conversation from Episode 6, we dive into more actionable steps for recognizing and managing stress, especially as it pertains to pain. We dig a little deeper into the ways we can learn to regulate our nervous systems, and I explain my favorite ways to do so.

When I first graduated from DPT school, I had no clue how much of people's pain was related to their overall lifestyle - beyond just how they moved, how flexible they were, or how strong their muscles were. Over the years, I've learned a lot about stress, how it affects our nervous system, and how that relates to pain. This episode covers the intro to understanding these things and is the first of a two part series in understanding how complex pain is and how mindset & stress management can affect the pain & discomfort we experience. 

If you've ever been confused about mobility work, then this episode is for you.

We review what mobility training consists of and how it compares to traditional strength training. We also cover the 3 biggest mistakes people make when pursuing mobility gains.
