When rest doesn't help and more movement makes it worse
|
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. Understandable, right? But here’s the thing—movement isn’t the problem. It’s how we move that matters. Join me for a live webinar on Friday, August 22 at 10am MST: Move Smart, Feel Better Webinar: Get Unstuck from Pain Through Smarter Movement We’ll talk about the 3 most common ways people unknowingly stay stuck in pain: ✔︎ Not moving at all ✔︎ Pushing too hard ✔︎ Adapting movement in ways that backfire If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And there’s a better way forward that doesn’t involve “no pain, no gain.” 🎟️ Free for The MedFit Movement Studio members 💳 $19.97 for everyone else 📲 https://bit.ly/UnstuckFromPain 🎁 BONUS: All attendees are entered to win one grand prize and two additional prizes (or more!)
