Here’s what pain is really trying to tell you

7/13/2025

If you’ve ever felt like pain is taking over your body—and your life—you’re not alone.

I’ve been there too.

​When I was just 12, I had my first encounter with persistent pain. A back injury that showed up unexpectedly and lingered much longer than expected. That early experience shaped how I saw my body—and for a while, I felt broken.

But over the past 25 years—as a clinical exercise physiologist, kinesiologist, and yoga therapist—I’ve discovered something powerful:

Pain is not the enemy.

It’s not a diagnosis.

It’s not a punishment.

And it’s definitely not the end of your story.

This is exactly why I created the free video series:
​Move Smart, Feel Better: A New Approach to Pain​

In Episode 1, I invite you to reframe pain in a completely different way--
not as something to fear or fight,
but as a message from your body.

​🧠 In this short video, you’ll learn:
  • Why pain doesn’t mean you’re broken
​
  • The truth about stiffness, joint pain, and daily discomfort
​
  • A metaphor (hint: it involves a car!) that could change the way you think about your body—for good
​

Whether you’ve been living with pain for years or it’s just starting to slow you down, this is the first step to building a new relationship with movement—and with your body.

🎥 Watch Episode 1: Why Your Pain Isn’t the Real Problem (and What To Do About It)​

This series will release one video per week over the next five weeks. Subscribe while you're there so you don’t miss a thing.

You’re not broken.

Let’s explore the path forward together.

Be well and happy moving,

Lisa
