Pain isn’t just about tissues.
It’s also about expectations, beliefs, and the language surrounding injury.
When people are told they’re “broken,” “out of alignment,” or “bone-on-bone,” their nervous system often responds with protection - not confidence.
That protective response can change how we move, load, and train… sometimes making pain stick around longer than it needs to.
This doesn’t mean pain isn’t real.
It means the body is responding intelligently to perceived threat.
At Tideline, we focus on:
• Clear, accurate explanations
• Building capacity through progressive load
• Restoring confidence in movement - not fear
Because strong bodies aren’t fragile.
And biology adapts when it’s coached, not threatened.
