The Made 2 Move Podcast

In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, physical therapist Hannah Breal @made2movept breaks down the 7 most common beliefs she sees holding patients back from actually solving their pain - and why changing what you think about your body matters just as much as any exercise or treatment.

She covers everything from why pain doesn't equal damage, to the truth about impact and joint health, to why stretching alone is rarely the answer.



If you've tried all the things and still aren't getting better, this episode might be the missing piece.

In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, Hannah sits down with Dr. Margie Davenport — exercise physiologist and leading researcher in pregnancy and postpartum exercise — to answer the questions women actually have about pregnancy and postpartum exercise guidelines.

Can you lift weights while pregnant?

Is running or higher intensity exercise safe?

Do you really need to stay under 140 bpm?

When can you return to exercise postpartum?

What actually matters when it comes to exercising pregnant or postpartum?

Does exercise have any benefits during pregnancy or postpartum?

They break down outdated advice that’s still being followed today — and what the research actually shows now.

Dr. Margie shares how guidelines have evolved, why pregnancy shouldn’t be treated like an injury, and how to approach exercise during pregnancy and postpartum in a way that supports both physical and mental health.

If you’ve been told to “take it easy” or stop training altogether, this episode will help you think clearly and move with confidence.

Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide — and yet we’re still spending $50 billion a year on it without solving the problem. In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) breaks down why the typical advice (perfect posture, endless adjustments, “don’t feel it in your back”) keeps us stuck in pain. She shares how our fear of back sensation has made us weaker, more fragile, and more likely to get hurt — and what actually needs to change if you want a strong, resilient back that can handle real life.

In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) sits down with sports dietitian Alaine Mills, MS, RD, CSSD to talk about what athletes get wrong about nutrition versus what actually drives performance. They cover the biggest surprises Alaine sees with her athletes: chronic under-fueling, carb fear, protein obsession, and how meal timing can make or break energy and recovery, along with practical strategies for fueling before, during, and after workouts, the 30–60g/hour carb rule for endurance athletes, and what to eat on game day. They also dig into youth athlete nutrition, injury recovery fueling, and how parents can help kids build healthy food relationships without labels or restriction.

In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) tackles “tennis elbow” (lateral elbow tendinopathy) through a real CrossFit/pickleball case—what it is, why rest/ice/sleeves feel good but don’t fix it, and how tendons actually get better with the right mechanical loading. She breaks down the overflowing-cup model (calm symptoms, then build capacity), pain guardrails (≤ 3–4/10 with a 24–48 hr check), and a simple progression from isometric wrist holds to eccentrics, carries, pressing, and a staged return to rowing, kipping, and pickleball. You’ll learn where dry needling fits (a window, not the solution), realistic timelines (weeks to feel better; months to remodel), and how to modify training so you can keep lifting and playing without flares.
