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.

Dear Reader, This week — the space between Christmas and New Year’s — often feels a little strange. The rush has slowed. The calendar is quieter. And yet, there’s a hum of what’s next in the background. New plans. Fresh goals. A sense that something should change. Before you jump ahead, I’d like to offer a simple but powerful reminder: You can’t plan where you’re going if you don’t know where you are. And I don’t mean where you wish you were. Or where you used to be. Or where you think you...
