PAIN is a complex issue.
When we look at pain outside of the typical injury scenario, we need to really delve deep and look at the bigger picture.
PAIN is information and your body is asking for balance.
It will start with a whisper, that gradually gets louder until you have no choice but to listen! 💣
MRI Imaging is useful, but is not the whole picture and is only one dimensional. It scares you into believing you are forever broken 🤕
You look for a quick fix, someone to ‘take the pain away’. Lay blame - a bulging disc, genetics, arthritis, previous surgery, too busy, too tired …. Avoidance & excuses 😮💨
CHOOSE YOUR HARD -Yes its tough, to make time for you, but if you don't do it- nobody will. It takes work and dedication but I know which hard I choose.
Where recovery really lies is in what you don’t want to face!
Wellbeing, health, fitness, body composition, habits, mindset, old beliefs, accountability, ACTION!
Various therapies help to reduce the pain but it keeps coming back. The Pain doesn’t necessarily mean damage - but your brain now thinks it does. It tries to protect you through fear and limit your movement, your quality of life dwindles.
What your brain really needs is reassurance through stimulis, graded load exposure, skill development, strength, movement, variation, consistency, nervous system regulation. balance, presence, showing up for you.
Rehab is not a set of exrcises. Rehab IS Training. Training for life, the things that matter to you and the health to enjoy it. 🥰
