Somatic Movement & Mindset

The Truth About "No Pain, No Gain" - And What To Do Instead


Listen Later

The phrase “No pain, no gain” has shaped fitness and rehab culture for decades—but is it actually helpful, or is it holding you back from true healing?

In this empowering episode, Heidi Hadley unpacks the truth behind the “no pain, no gain” myth and reveals why pushing through pain can increase tension, inflammation, and long-term injury. Instead, you’ll learn what science now shows: that slow, mindful movement and nervous system regulation are far more effective for creating lasting relief and resilience.

We dive into:

  • The neuroscience behind pain and why forcing movement backfires
  • How to work with your nervous system—not against it
  • Why Clinical Somatic Movement and pandiculation create safe, lasting change
  • The missing piece in most rehab and fitness routines
  • What to do instead to heal, strengthen, and thrive

It’s time to replace outdated “grind” mentality with smarter, body-wise strategies for recovery and strength.
