I mean, it would be so much easier, right?
Just take a pill.
Or just do an exercise or two…
And have all of your pain go away- along with the stiffness and immobility that’s been dragging you down for so long.
It would be nice, I suppose.
After all, we’ve been trying pills for a long time. All different kinds. Different shapes. Different formulations.
Sometimes with positive results. Most of the time with ugly side effects. Stomach problems. Liver problems. Heart problems. Addiction.
And perhaps worst of all, complete lack of efficacy in solving the REAL problem that’s causing the pain in the first place.
In fact, many of my clients come to me because they DON’T want to take pills. They don’t even want to go there. Or if they have in the past, they want to get rid of them.
Same thing with exercises, actually. So many have tried “exercises” just to find out that the very thing that’s supposed to be helping them is making them feel worse. Or because, despite doing them, they still don’t feel comfortable or confident when they move.
That’s because pills and exercises are band-aids. They don’t fix the problem. At best, they only lessen the symptom.
The fact of the matter is this:
You can’t bend if you can’t bend.
You can’t jump if you can’t jump.
You have a physical body that must be able to accomplish these tasks safely, efficiently, and repeatedly if you want to keep dancing, playing your sport, or working out for a long time to come.
No pill of any kind is going to make you be able to do those things WELL... or do them SAFELY.
…Depending on what the pill or exercise is, it MAY help with some small part of the healing process. And that’s fine.
But the ONLY thing that helps you really move well is... MOVING WELL.
For that result, you MUST work.
You must train. Y
ou must SOLVE the problems that keep you from moving well.
And you must consistently EXPOSE and PREPARE your body for the exact challenges you face in your active life.
There is no way around it. There’s no “magic” exercise. There’s no miracle cure.
But there IS tremendous potential inside of you to accomplish these things.
If you have neck pain, I want you to be able to do headstands.
If you can’t quite stand up straight, I want you to dunk a basketball again.
If you think your ankles are just too weak, I want you tripping over tennis balls and walking away like it was nothing.
I’ve seen ALL of these things happen.
Because your body is a million times more capable than any pill.
Yes… even if you’ve been injured or in pain for a long time.
If you’re sick of band-aids and are ready for real change, it’s time for us to talk.
If you love to move- dancing, playing sports, working out, or chasing your kids- don’t waste another minute doubting yourself.
