Moving with Pain - When To Push and When To Pivot

When it comes to pain, how do you know when to push through and when to pause? Dr. Lisa Folden and Tyler Bramlett dive into the complicated relationship between movement, pain, fear, and healing.

They explore the difference between muscle guarding and true injury, why “no pain, no gain” can be harmful, and how learning to listen to your body can help you move with more confidence and less fear. From chronic pain and arthritis to injury recovery and nervous system safety, this conversation offers a compassionate and realistic approach to movement that focuses on feeling better, not pushing harder.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your pain means “stop” or simply “slow down and pay attention,” this episode is for you.
