This is a great graphic by Dr. Caleb Burgess!

When we do something and it hurts and we keep going, we are challenging the nervous system and ultimately causing neuroplastic changes.

This is the big 3!
✅ Cognitive - you made a conscious effort to keep going.
✅ Sensory - you kept going despite the negative sensory input
✅ Motor - you kept moving despite the desire to want to stop and the negative sensory input.

This is also why, uncomfortable active treatments are superior to passive light techniques.

🧠 Pain isn’t one-size-fits-all.

As therapists, distinguishing between pain types is important for assessment and treatment planning.

• Nociceptive pain → Driven by actual or threatened tissue damage. Often mechanical or inflammatory in nature, with predictable aggravating/relieving factors (think- sprains, cuts, inflammation).

• Neuropathic pain → Originates from injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Characterized by burning, shooting, or electric-like qualities (like sciatica, diabetic neuropathy).

• Nociplastic pain → Results from altered central pain processing, without clear tissue or nerve damage. Often widespread, disproportionate, and associated with hypersensitivity (like fibromyalgia).

📌 Identifying the mechanism helps us tailor interventions — whether addressing tissue, modulating the nervous system, or supporting central processing.

The best part of my practice is the clients.
The conversations, the insight that shared with me. The bad jokes. The silence. And my favorite, the laughing till we can't breathe.

You all bring a beautiful piece to the puzzle of life, and for that, I am so grateful. 🙏

I got lost in my head today.
So I hit the gym and exhausted myself and then went and connected with nature and my best friend.
Go do things that recenter and ground you.
Breathe.
You got this ♡

Saw this today, and man, do I feel it!!!
There are so many changes and shifts. There are so many blessings and challenges all at the same time.

Practicing gratitude for the good.
Praying for resilience and strength to endure the challenges and asking for wisdom to make the right choices for myself and my family. ♡

Have you experienced a Lifequake?
If you care to share, I'd love to listen ♡

Stepped out of my comfort zone and worked a private event for some incredible women!
What an honor and blessing to have been a part of their weekend.

Push yourself to grow! It's pretty amazing to meet and connect with those you typically wouldn't ♡

This applies to all of us ♡
Post surgery, postpartum, post trauma, post injury.
We aren't going back. We are becoming someone new in all planes.

After some much needed time away to rest, reflect, and enjoy some beautiful nature and sunshine, my heart is full and energy restored!
