Why does pain linger even after you’ve been “cleared”? In this post, we explore pain as a signal your body is sending. We break down why pushing through pain often backfires and how recovery gets smarter when we listen. This is Part 3 in our Behind the Protocol series, a deep dive into what true recovery really takes.
Pain isn’t always about the joint, muscle, or scar. It’s often about the system holding it all together — stress, fluid flow, and a nervous system that hasn’t felt safe enough to let go. In this post, Kat shares why BodyTech looks beyond symptoms, and how stress can shape pain, recovery, and resilience.
Chronic pain. Fluid retention. Stiffness that won’t go away. What if the issue isn’t your muscles but your lymph flow? This post dives into why so many clients are told to “just stretch” when what they really need is lymphatic support. Discover the real reason your recovery feels stuck… and what you can do about it.
This closing post brings the series full circle—into the body, back into the ring, and toward a deeper understanding of what it really means to come back after pain. Whether you’ve been sidelined by injury, illness, or life itself, this piece explores the quiet courage it takes to rebuild—one small, intentional step at a time. Featuring reflections on identity, trust, and the messy magic of movement, it’s a reminder that healing isn’t about returning to who you were—it’s about reclaiming who you are.
