The advice I wish I could BAN FOREVER
"Brainy What-Why-How"
Your weekly nibble of science-backed goodness to help you move better and feel unstoppable.
🧠
What:
This past week alone, I’ve heard:
A physio say nerve flossing is only good for pain relief.
A doctor tell their patient to “just stop putting your arm overhead” (as if that’s a life plan).
A trainer agree someone “wasn’t strong enough” to lift heavier.
A yoga teacher swear she’d never do handstands because of chronic elbow pain.
Every time I thought: Oh, bless… people really need a crash course in the nervous system.
Because guess what?
Not. One. Of. These. Is. True.
Why:
Applied neurology is like that cool kid no one invited to the party...but who secretly knows all the moves 💃
Whether it’s because it’s a baby science, "too" complex, or because old-school training ignores it, most body pros are missing out. Big time.
Since diving into neurology in 2020, I see things differently:
• Nerves are the hotline between your body and brain. Tune them up and you reduce pain, but also boost strength, flexibility, balance, coordination—even rest 💪
• Nothing is “set in stone.” The brain is ENDLESSLY adapting. If it hurts and you stop doing it, you’re teaching your body to never do it again 😱
• Your nervous system puts up “perceived threat” speed bumps. Reduce the threat and suddenly you’re lifting heavier, bending deeper, living freer.
• Pain is your brain saying, “Something’s off.” Chronic pain? Sometimes it’s just your brain’s drama habit. You can retrain it.
How:
My next Applied Neurology training is where you’ll learn how to turn “ouch” into “oh hey!”
I won’t pretend I’m the only one teaching this, but hey I gotta shoot my shot 😃
If you enjoy these cheeky little emails, why not hang out with me and go deeper?
It started for yoga teachers. Now it’s a full-on movement free-for-all.
Got brain-body mysteries? Spill ‘em! I’m all ears (and nerves),
