Want to know why?

1. It’s not taught as an important sensation. I had never heard of interoception until I started training in yoga. Now when I research it, I find it within psychological literature. As a ‘physical’ therapist, very little psychology is taught.

2. Even if PTs wanted to teach and train interoception, the environment doesn’t allow it.

Think: noisy gym full of people with lots of distractions. It’s really hard to slow down and feel what going on inside in that environment.

But it’s also the fiscal environment. For many clinicians to see any profit, they must have 2 clients in the room at the same time. Insurance reimbursement for physical therapy in a private practice barely keeps the lights on.

While I don’t blame PTs for not knowing about interoception, I still think it’s necessary.

If it’s missing from your care, it’s hard to heal.

Old Meniscal Injury. Arthritis. Last week there was even a pocket of swelling and pain when I put weight on it.

But I persist. Not pushing through pain but modifying as I need to stay as active as I want.

We’ve been led to believe that these conditions are limitations that cause certain movements and activities to be “bad for our knees”.

But how can a movement the joint was designed to do be bad???

Avoidance leads to more weakness, more limitation.

A better understanding of pain, what the sensations of your body mean, how muscles support your knees…all information that can guide you to better function.

Combined with a slow progression of strength and mobility might be exactly what you need to build more trust in what your knees are capable of.

The truth…or another opinion you’ve not been offered.

If you believe your knees can feel better, then it’s possible!

If you believe the only answer is surgery, consider the source of that belief. Where does it come from?

Working with me is about new possibilities…some you’ve never considered and not offered by medicine.

I’m not here to convince. I’m offer these services as a way to support and guide.

Women didn’t wake up one day and decide strength training wasn’t for them.

They were taught-over time-to fear it.

Told-

they might get hurt
tone was feminine and strong was masculine

Sent the message of acceptance if they stayed small.

The result has been a deterioration of health. Not because of aging, but because of what women were NOT allowed to do, FOR THEIR HEALTH.

But it’s not too late!!

Women in my program have made gains in function and bone density.

The main goal is to reduce fear around strength training…feel safe while you train…build confidence that you will be accepted no matter what!

Join me for 1 week of SAFE, TAILORED, ADAPTIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING.

By the end you’ll understand exactly how to make strength gains while honoring pain.

Both body and mind are responsible for pain that persists. AND it’s really hard to discern which one to address in each moment.

With a rise in pain or increased discomfort, most immediately think…

“What did I do?” Physically to cause this pain now.

My goal in coaching is to help broaden the inquiry of “Why pain now?” And to consider…

Maybe this pain is more about how I’m feeling emotionally.

How you manage your emotions can either help or hurt.

Consider how you manage your emotions with the 4Rs

RESIST
REACT
RECEIVE
RESPOND

The first 2 causes activation of the sympathetic nervous system, I.e. a stress response within you that is felt in the body as tension, tightness, discomfort or pain.

If you begin to recognize these ways of emotional management, you can shift to receive and then respond in a way that is aligned with your values.

You will still experience the emotional hurt of frustration, anger, sadness, jealousy, grief and other hard emotions BUT the pain will be transient. It won’t accumulate over days, weeks and years slowly squeezing living out of life.

Changing how you manage emotions takes intention, it takes practice at pausing and feeling. You need to re-build the connections between body and mind that have been lost.

BTW I’m sweaty in this video because I just finished leading strength training where it is imperative to notice what you feel at all times.

You can build the connections between with gentle practices or with moderate intensity training. Intention is the key.
