This video popped up for me recently — from back in 2020 — when I was really diving deeper into and studying pain, chronic pain, and upregulated nervous systems.
At the time, I was deep into courses focused on a biopsychosocial approach to pain — learning about nervous system sensitization and the importance of down-regulation. I remember my brain feeling like it was spinning in circles… but in a good way.
It was a bit of a shift in thinking from the more “anatomical” brain we often come out of school with… and honestly, I haven’t looked back since.
One of the biggest things I started to understand (and now say almost daily in clinic) is this:
There is no one “perfect” posture.
Our bodies aren’t meant to hold one ideal position all day — they’re meant to move.
Do imbalances happen? Yes.
Do we sometimes work to address them? Also yes.
But even if you found the “perfect” anatomical position — if you stayed there long enough, it could still become uncomfortable or painful.
Movement, variation, and adaptability are what our bodies really thrive on.
What’s been even more impactful is understanding how much our thoughts, experiences, and nervous system play a role in pain and recovery. The body and mind are always working together — not separately.
This is something I now teach and mentor to all of the therapists in our clinic — and a big reason why I’ve found co-treatment with our chronic pain counsellor to be so valuable for certain cases.
These concepts were introduced to me through pelvic health training, but they’ve shaped how I approach every area of treatment.
And truly… it’s changed everything about how I help people.
Funny how something as simple as a Facebook memory can bring you back to a moment of learning — and remind you just how much it still resonates.
