Living Life Pain Free

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of The Mamaverse Podcast we are diving into the topic of pain and its relation to our overall health and wellness with pain specialist, Robert Hull. Robert wasn’t always super keyed into his health. His education started when he lost 100 pounds in a year and wanted to inspire others to be able to reclaim their health. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What We Covered:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Movement is medicine: There are preventative measures you can take when it comes to experiencing pain in your body</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">It is common for people to have an imbalance of strength, flexibility, and even mobility. A discrepancy greater than 10% can actually cause pain.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sometimes, we seek concrete causes as the root of our pain, and when initial assessments don’t diagnose the pain we turn to MRI or other imaging techniques. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Imaging can be more mentally harmful for people than helpful, especially when the cause of pain is stress related and not tied to a direct injury visible in imaging.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Medical Community might over diagnose the pain seeking a treatment such as surgery to cure the pain, when noninvasive exercise, flexibility training, and stress reduction can make a major impact</span></li> </ul>
