Listen to this next --> Most Back Pain Advice Fails For High Performers (Here's Why) A powerful mindset shift to help you manage chronic pain, reduce flare ups, and feel more in control. We dive into the concept of offloading vs recovery - two very different but essential tools for managing pain and energy.

You’ll learn: • How to tell if you need to recover or offload • Why pain builds up even when you're “doing everything right” • How burnout, stress, and lifestyle contribute to flare ups • Why movement, creativity, and expression are essential for healing • How to reconnect to your body and calm your system This is one of the most important reframes I teach inside my Back Pain Back to Exercise program and one that’s helped hundreds regain confidence in their body and life.
