What if your back pain isn’t really a back problem?
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the BIGGEST reasons women stay stuck in chronic pain… and why it has nothing to do with your back, your hips, or any joint in your body.
If your pain has lasted longer than 3–6 months, you’re probably no longer dealing with a tissue problem and it has more to do with a nervous system that’s working overtime.
We’ll talk about:
• What actually happens in your brain after an injury
• Why the alarm system stays “on” long after the tissue has healed
• How fear, stress, and inactivity keep you stuck
• The exact steps to retrain your nervous system so you can move confidently again
If you’re tired of the temporary fixes, this episode is going to change the way you think about pain forever.
