How To Stop Making Pain the Problem To Fix | #333
Description
In this episode, I’m exploring a gap I see so many skilled practitioners fall into, not because they don’t have enough tools or techniques, but because of how they’re approaching pain. Too often, we slip into “fix-it mode,” seeing clients as though something is broken. What I’ve come to understand is that pain isn’t the problem to solve; it’s a signal. And compensation patterns aren’t mistakes. They’re creative solutions the body has used to get the job done.
I’ll walk you through how to shift from a diagnostic mindset into an observational one, how this helps clients feel safer, and why that safety is the foundation for meaningful, lasting change. You’ll hear practical examples you can use right away to reframe pain, support your clients with less bracing and more ease, and start retraining movement in ways that actually stick.
