Is your pain sending secret signals?


Hi Reader,

Have you ever felt pain that just wouldn’t go away, no matter what you tried?

It could be after getting out of bed, lifting a bag of groceries, or even just sitting at your desk.

You stretch, rest, maybe push through… and yet, the discomfort lingers.

Frustrating, isn’t it?

In my work with one-on-one clients, I see this happen time and time again. We start thinking the problem is here… but the body has a funny way of surprising us.

  • Sometimes a backache isn’t really coming from the back—it’s a shoulder blade that isn’t moving properly.

  • Other times, discomfort in your hips or pelvis is actually a sign your pelvic floor isn’t functioning optimally.

  • And often, we only discover the true source after testing particular joint movements and noticing how your body responds.

Here’s the thing: pain isn’t always about “doing more” or “pushing harder.”

Often, it’s your body sending signals and subtle clues that tell a story about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Next week, I’m hosting a live webinar to help you decode these signals and get ahead of pain, not just react to it.

We’ll explore:

  1. Your personal pain signals – what your body is really trying to tell you.
  2. Hidden patterns – uncover the habits or movements that might be fueling your discomfort.
  3. Influences on pain – understand how stress, sleep, and other factors are affecting your body.

There will be interactive activities and even a few prizes to make it fun—and you’ll walk away with practical steps you can start using immediately.

Reserve your spot now and gain the tools to start moving smarter, feeling better, and taking control of your pain.

Happy Sunday Reader, You can’t watch the Olympics without seeing it. Athletes arriving with their teammates.Coaches leaning in during tense moments.Training staff standing quietly in the background. And then the cameras pan to the stands. You see the proud parents of Connor McDavid during the men’s hockey game.Spouses. Partners. Families. People who have traveled across the world simply to say,“We’re with you.” Community is everywhere. And it makes me pause. Because while most of us aren’t...

Hi there, Independence matters. But so does connection. This week I shared a short video on Instagram (and Youtube) about how movement changes when we share it with someone else. 👉 Watch it here:https://youtube.com/shorts/cq99k9CvKEs?feature=share When we move in community, we build more than strength. We build accountability.Confidence.Momentum. And that’s exactly what happens inside Mindful Movement. Let me be clear about what it is — and what it isn’t. Mindful Movement isn’t another...

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are being talked about everywhere right now — often as a way to speed up results. But a more helpful question might be: How do we support the body while it’s changing? Hi Reader, If you’re like me, you may be noticing more and more conversations about GLP-1s in your media feed, your social circles, and even major advertising campaigns. These medications—originally developed for diabetes and metabolic health—are now part of mainstream culture....
