Think avoiding pain or pushing through it are your only two options? Physical therapist and pain science educator Jen Uschold takes over this episode to explain why both approaches backfire, and what actually helps.
Jen breaks down the two extremes that tend to make chronic pain worse, total avoidance and the “no pain, no gain” mindset, and introduces pacing and graded exposure as the middle path that calms your nervous system down instead. She shares how just one or two minutes of walking can be a real starting point, including a story about a client who went from that tiny first step to hiking across three continents.
