You don’t have to choose between pushing through pain or giving up completely.
There’s a middle ground - and that’s where magic really happens. 💛
Here’s how I help women use movement as a tool for recovery instead of a trigger for more pain:
1️⃣ Get curious about the pain.
Notice when it shows up. Is it during the movement, or later that day? Are there signs your body isn’t coping — building discomfort, lingering soreness? Awareness is the first step to adjusting safely.
2️⃣ Find what version you can do.
If it’s walking or running, experiment with terrain, distance, or pace.
If it’s strength work, reduce load or change the angle — swap a back squat for a goblet or front squat, an overhead press for an incline.
Pain doesn’t mean stop; it means modify.
3️⃣ Give your body what it needs.
Sometimes that’s recovery, sleep, mobility, or nutrition. Other times it’s gentle consistency instead of all-or-nothing effort.
The main thing is that you learn how to listen.
And of course, please get support. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
