Chronic back pain recovery includes more than just exercise!

Pain is a normal part of life. Some people experience a lot of it. Some do not. I have experienced chronic pain since I was 8 (probably due to hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Since I have injured every area of my body multiple times, I have learned A LOT about how to overcome it.

I’ve also helped over 24,000 other people overcome pain and become more resilient to future pains through our online programs, so I have had the opportunity to experience the psychological mind-fuck of pain from a personal and coaching perspective. 

Pain is a confusing and complicated beast that we don’t often talk about in our social media posts, but we talk about heavily in our programs. 

Movement, exercise, strengthening, stretching, and massaging can have a huge impact on chronic and acute pain, but we find that an adjustment to how we view pain can have an even greater impact on reducing its intensity. 

Disclaimer: The time to be concerned about pain is after a traumatic event (being hit by a car, falling down the stairs, being tackled at the knee, after hitting your head, etc). This is an instance where you need to see a doc and get help immediately. If your pain was sudden because of a simple exercise, waking up from sleeping, or otherwise doing a routine daily task, you probably don’t need to be concerned. Yes, something can hurt A LOT, but that DOES NOT mean that there is actually damage to your tissue! 

In fact, some people can experience less pain from a severe injury like a bone through the leg than a minor injury like a muscle spasm. Pain is freaky and, most of the time, cannot be trusted!
