Limited thinking leads to limited results 💥
If you're struggling with a persistent or recurring pain, and trying to fix just where it hurts....that's where you're getting stuck.
Problem -> Find a cure is how most of us are conditioned from childhood.
Another example = Feel sick -> Call a doctor.
But this way of thinking is stopping you from feeling and moving better.
Let's take shoulder pain that started as an ache, got more painful and now won't go away.
It's often labelled as a "frozen shoulder", but there's nothing major on scans, except for some 'wear and tear' or osteoarthritis.
You keep trying to fix that pain in your shoulder, and stretch or mobilise to reduce the aching stiffness that's stopping you from exercising.
But months or years later, your shoulder (and you) are still stuck in the same position.
But if you expand your thinking to include your head, ribs, shoulder blades, pelvis, hips, spine and feet you'll likely make much more progress.
Remember, the muscles of the shoulder attach to the spine and ribs, which then connect to the pelvis, hips and feet through to the ground.
The Befriend Your Body (BYB) Method shows you how to become more aware of your own movement patterns and habits.
Then you can start to change the unhelpful ones so they stop causing tension and pain
The beauty of the The BYB Method is you learn to do this for yourself, so you regain control of your body, how you move and feel.
Now you can return to exercising and doing the activities you love but had to stop because of persistent pain, worry and fear of re-injury.
You can learn and feel The BYB Method for pain management and relaxation in my new monthly small group class.
Awesome added bonuses are a deeply soothing sound bath meditation and the opportunity to 1:1 help with an injury or pain you're managing .
Bookings are now open. Message me or chat to me after one of my classes for more details.
