Most patients believe one simple lie.

If I feel fine… I must be fine.

Sounds harmless.

It’s not.

It’s the reason they:
• cancel early
• disappear when pain settles
• only come back when things flare up

I call it The Feeling Fallacy.

The idea that feelings = function.

But pain is a smoke alarm. Not a performance report.

And here’s the kicker:

Explaining this doesn’t work.

More words don’t change beliefs. Experience does.

In this episode, I break down how to:

• name the “Feeling Fallacy” so patients instantly get it
• stop using abstract language like “optimal function”
• pre-frame findings before they feel them
• use simple tests (ROM, balance, posture) to show deficits, not describe them
• turn relapse into a teaching moment that builds long-term buy-in

No clever lines. No scripts. No philosophy lectures.

Just small framing shifts you can use tomorrow morning that help patients move from:

Pain → Prevention → Performance.

Because the best time to get adjusted…

…is when you already feel good.
