You've heard two common yet contradictory sayings. On one end of the spectrum is "If it hurts, don't do that." This is the safest route to protect you in the short term. However, it keeps most people stuck, never realizing the adaptive benefits that make tissues more resilient.

On the other end of the spectrum is the saying, "No pain, no gain." This mindset may help you get stronger the fastest, but it's also where the risk for injury (or reinjury) is highest.

The key to safely promoting adequate adaptations for stronger muscles, joints, and tendons is finding your personal Goldilocks load. This means finding the sweet spot resistance that's just right for you to stimulate healing without flaring symptoms.

Key Takeaways
Adaptations need a challenge—just not chaos.
Aim for mild, tolerable discomfort (≤ 5/10) that subsides within 24 hours.
Adjust exercises, don't abandon them.
Consistent, progressive resistance training is the fastest route to resilience and lasting pain relief.

While modern research continues to explore its many effects, one thing is clear: acupuncture has a unique way of tapping into the body’s relaxation response.

The sensation is subtle—sometimes described as a warm glow, a gentle heaviness, or simply something you’ve never quite felt before. This mild but novel stimulation sends signals to the brain, inviting a shift into a calm, meditative state.

It’s like your nervous system exhales!

After a session, people often say, “I feel so relaxed.”
And they mean deeply relaxed.

This isn't just about temporary stress relief. By helping regulate the nervous system, acupuncture gives the body a real chance to rest, reset, heal, recover.

A growing body of modern recognition.

🏅ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT🏅

What a comeback story.

Matt crossed the 2025 Boston Marathon finish line in 2:59:50, officially breaking 3 hours after dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis that once left him questioning if he’d ever run again.

With shockwave therapy and strength training here at Embody, Matt’s not just back—he’s stronger than ever. 🙌

Congrats to Matt for qualifying for the 2026 Boston Marathon!🥳 He’s not stopping here though. His goal is to run even faster!

Matt, your dedication inspires us all!🏃‍♂️💥 Boston 2026—here he comes!

We’re excited to introduce our {AMAZING} massage therapist✨

Hi, I’m Lisa! My massage therapy journey began in 2015 while caring for my son in the NICU. Witnessing the benefits of massage therapy for my family sparked a passion in me to help others find balance, both physically and mentally, through massage. I don’t see massage as a luxury, but as an essential step toward achieving overall well-being. Creating a peaceful space for my clients to reconnect with themselves is something I deeply value.🕊️

I’m trained in a variety of massage modalities and assisted stretching techniques, which allows me to take a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to each session. My goal is to meet the unique needs of the person on my table, whether you’re looking for relief from chronic pain, support with recovery, stress reduction, or just a restorative escape from a busy day ahead. My calm presence and intuitive touch help create a safe, nurturing environment where you can relax, recharge, and restore. Whether it’s your first massage, it’s been a while, or massage is already a regular part of your wellness routine, I’m here to meet you where you are.

Outside of work, I find so much joy in spending quality time with my husband and children. I love going to concerts, joining run clubs, and exploring new spots around the city. 🎶🌇👟

I’m now seeing patients! Book with me today at www.embodystl.com or give the office a call at 314.822.5300. I can’t wait to meet you! ☺️

Say hi and help us welcome Lisa in the comments! 💬
