"Identity is a huge part of this discussion between how we experience pain, what it means to us, and how that pain can ultimately change who we are, unfortunately, unless we have a real grasp over that."

Powerful Quotes by Dr. Kevin Marryshow
Having a relationship [with your body] creates a vessel and an area of opportunity to really take accountability and ownership.
Identity is a huge part of this discussion between how we experience pain, what it means to us, and how that pain can ultimately change who we are, unfortunately, unless we have a real grasp over that.
If you can relate to the stories of the practitioner or the clinician that’s working with you, it already drives better outcomes because of the psychosocial component to pain and recovery and performance.
The work doesn’t end when you’re out of pain, the work actually just begins because that’s when you’re moving your best, you’re at your freest and that when we get to build on what we’ve been working on.
