Sometimes the worst part of pain isn’t the pain.

It’s losing the one thing you used to cope.

If training was your therapy, and now you can’t train, you don’t need motivation.

You need a new outlet and a clear on ramp back.

DM me “ON RAMP” if you want help building it.

Hear how Anthony went from struggling to sit at work to crushing movements like hang cleans, deadlifts and kettlebell swings again, WITHOUT fear.

We started where his body needed to, built him back up brick-by-brick and progressed is hybrid rehab/training program over time as he regained capacity, confidence and movement freedom.

If pain and fear is holding you back from enjoying your body, training hard and saying yes to life, then let’s chat.

Comment or DM “FREEDOM” and I’ll reach out to share more details on my hybrid programming method.

X-Rays, MRIs, CT Scans, Ultrasound…

They all service a purpose. A very important purpose at that.

❌ Unfortunately, both patients and providers often put too much emphasis on what is shown/reported.

It is well understand there *can be* a strong disconnect between what is shown and how you feel.

You can feel perfectly fine (no pain), but the X-ray shows recent or old disc herniations.

You can have aggressive pain, but the MRI shows that all of the tissues are normal, and where they should be.

I support imaging.

What I fear is that when folks go get an MRI and see a disc herniation - now they can’t get it out of their head.

And the disc herniation that’s showing may not even be related to their pain experience (this is a real thing).

🔑The key here is that imaging can be a great way to further understand what’s going on under the surface, to help inform decision making when:

🔹Your symptoms aren’t changing (or get worse) with *quality* rehab.

🔹You/your provider are struggling to find an effective solution.

🔹There is concern for things that need more specific medical attention (cancer, etc.)

Hope this helps. Comment with questions.

Should you rest when dealing with pain?

If it’s an acute injury like a fracture, or a tear? Sure that area, needs rest…

what about other pains or injuries?

Unmanaged emotions, stress and headspace dont sit quietly on the back ground…

they find any way possible to make themselves known.

They feed directly into your pain experience.

The science is clear on this: higher stress, higher anxiety, higher emotional load all turn the volume k**b tip on how much pain you feel.

So, now you’re not only dealing with the pain rom the physical injury,

but also the emotional fallout of lowing your best coping mechanism,

and the guild of losing all of the progress you’ve made up until this point.

That’s the real insult to injury.



If you’ve been in pain for a long time, chances are you won’t e able to “fix” all of your problems with just corrective exercises and quality modalities.

You’ve got to do some work on that big important squishy thing inside your skull, as well.

DM me “Stress-Free” for a FREE pre-recorded training on how to do that.

So, what’s this mean for you?

This means that when you experience pain, you shouldn’t always assume that there is something broken, torn or damaged.

Even if there is an actually injury creating pain, you can’t always assume that a spike in pain is from worsening damage or reinjury.

Things like stress, poor sleep, dehydration, can amplify your pain experience.

So, this is me saying you shouldn’t freak out when you have pain, automatically thinking that something is damaged.

When you say you want to be pain-free, you aren’t telling yourself the whole story.

Pain-free is easy to do….

Stop working out, stay on the couch with an ice pack and some prescription painkillers, and you’ll be nearly (if not completely) pain-free.

But that’s not what you want, is it?

You want to move, think, live, and train without that pain holding you back.

You want to be able to walk up to a barbell,

toss your kids into the pool,

or say yes to a weekend camping trip without that little birdie on your shoulder saying, “This might hurt you.”

You don’t want to be pain-free…

you want to live free from pain.



If you’re still trapped in the Pain Loop and you’re unable to challenge your body, then my advice is to find clarity and get honest.

Get clear on what your body needs and what it can and can’t handle right now.

Get clear on your responsibilities in this phase of your recovery/rehab.

Get honest with yourself about whether you’re sticking to those responsibilities, putting in consistent work, and actually facing the problem head-on…

or just avoiding it the minute you feel slightly better.



Wherever you are in your journey, recognize that fear is part of the human experience.

You’re not wrong for being scared.

You can be “healed” and still be scared.

Just don’t let yourself stumble over that fear forever.

Learn how to move with it.

Then learn how to move through it.

Eventually, you’ll learn how to move beyond it.
