“Is it supposed to hurt?”
A patient asked Dr. K this during soft tissue work - and it opened the door to an important truth:
What you feel in the moment doesn’t always reflect what’s actually happening in your body.
You can be hunched over your phone with zero pain… and still be hurting your back.
And you can feel a little temporary discomfort during soft tissue work, mobility, or strengthening… and be helping your body move, heal, and get stronger.
Pain isn’t the only indicator.
Sometimes the small, productive discomfort is exactly what leads to better motion, better function, and long-term strength.
If you’re working toward that kind of progress, keep going - the gains are worth it.
And if you know someone who needs that reminder today, share this with them. 💛
