If you're living with persistent or recurring pain, you've probably been told that movement is important.


But what happens when movement hurts?

Maybe you've found yourself wondering...

Should I stop?

Should I push through it?

Am I making things worse?

Is some discomfort okay?

Did I simply do too much?

​ Should I rest today and try again tomorrow?

And then I hear you wondering:

• I've been told to listen to my body... but what am I listening for?

​​

• If movement is medicine, why does it sometimes hurt?

​

• How do I know if I'm challenging myself or doing too much?

​

• If something hurts, does that mean I should stop?

​​

• How am I supposed to get stronger if I'm afraid of making things worse?

​

All you want is to feel better.

To move without so much uncertainty.

To trust that you can respond to what your body is telling you.

And to know that when something doesn't feel quite right, your only choices aren't to push through it or stop altogether.

Because there are other options.

​You can learn to notice, explore, adjust and reassess—and use your body's response to help decide what to do next.

As part of the ongoing Move Smarter, Feel Better Webinar Series, this session is designed to help you move beyond the uncertainty of wondering whether you should push through, stop, or avoid a movement altogether.

Together, we'll explore a more thoughtful way to respond when your body speaks up—so you can make more informed movement decisions with greater confidence.

You'll learn how to:

Notice what your body is telling you

Explore what happens when something changes​

Adjust how you're moving​

​Reassess your body's response

Because listening to your body isn't just about noticing
​what you feel.
​
It's about knowing what to do with that information.

PLUS — Your Movement Game Changers

You'll leave the webinar with practical strategies you can begin using right away:
​

1. Move beyond "push through" or "stop"

Learn to recognize that you have more than two choices when something hurts and explore different ways to respond. 

2. ​Change the movement, not necessarily the goal

Discover how changing things like range, speed, resistance, position, duration or support can change how your body respond. 

3. Look beyond the movement

Learn why what happends during movement is only part of the story and how your body's response later that day or the next day can provide useful information. 

These aren't rules about what you should or shouldn't do. They're tools to help you make more informed movement decisions.  These are exact tools used inside the Movement Momentum program to help adults rebuild trust in their bodies and create lasting change.

A Commitment to Change

This webinar is delivered live to give you the chance to ask questions, engage with the material, and learn directly from Lisa.

Registration closes once the session is full.

Come join the live experience and leave with more personalized direction for your own body.

Instead of waiting for your body to feel completely different before you move forward, what if you began building the skills to respond to it differently?

To pause and notice.

To explore rather than immediately worry.

To make an adjustment rather than automatically stop. And to use what happens next as information.

Those small decisions can help you better understand your body, build confidence in movement, and find more ways to keep doing the things that matter to you.

Because moving smarter isn't about ignoring what your body is telling you. It's about learning how to respond.
