The belief that’s keeping you in pain
|
Reader, By now, I hope you’re starting to feel something new taking shape. Not just in your body, but in your mindset. Because in Episode 3 of Move Smart, Feel Better, we’re diving into something big: The belief that pain means you should stop moving. It’s something so many of us have been told. And honestly? It’s one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in pain. Let me tell you about Sylvia. When we first met, she was convinced that walking around the block—just once—was out of reach. Every time she felt even a whisper of discomfort, she’d shut down completely. She was scared of making things worse. She was scared of her own body. But over time, we worked together to gently explore what movement could feel like—not forced, not painful, just supported. We started small. Really small. And guess what? Sylvia started walking again. One block. Then two. Then three. All because she was willing to shift one deeply rooted belief: 👉 That pain means “stop.” In today’s video, I’ll walk you through this mindset shift—why the “don’t move” myth is holding so many people back, and what to do instead. 🎥 Watch Episode 3: Stop Believing This About Pain (It’s Holding You Back) This episode might just be the one that changes everything. And if you know someone who’s feeling stuck in their own body—dealing with fear, pain, or the belief that things can’t change—share the playlist with them. They deserve to feel better too. So do you. Stay well and happy moving, Lisa Supporting you in your physical activity journey.Together, we will use thoughtful and considerate movement to reprogram how you live in your body. Let's teach your brain to soften the intensity, and to grow your own ease.
Using exercise science, kinesiology, and yoga therapy, we can find a place that will not only allow you to move better and move more, but also increase the quality of your life.

One grandmother I know—her grandson is a friend of my youngest—has stood out in my mind lately. She’s always been a vibrant, active woman. She loved walking,...
Reader, A while back, a client of mine, Rita, shared that she’d basically given up on movement. She was tired of trying things that didn’t work… or worse, made her pain flare up. So she stopped.
