From Pain to Possibility Susi Hately

It’s a very special episode today as I’m beginning a brand new mini-series, “Exploring Your Feet,” where we will dive deep into our feet, the pain and soreness that can occur in our feet, and ways to use our feet to better understand our movements.



Listen in as I help you understand the feet as the foundation of your movements (while also sharing how that interpretation can be limiting) as well as ways to tune into your feet such as by using a golf ball to relieve tension in various parts of your body.

On today’s episode we’re exploring the concept of core stability from the lens of being an anatomy architect. More specifically, I’m discussing better ways to strengthen your core in a way that can effectively reduce or eradicate your pain.



Tune in as I share the keys to strengthening your core and how that requires reducing the layers of tension over it, as well as the anatomy architect state of mind that allows patients and professionals alike to identify compensation patterns and improve neuromuscular habits.

For many healing professionals, the old method of “one-size-fits-all solutions” simply isn’t working anymore. Instead, nowadays, clients (and teachers too) must tap into their own awareness to understand pain and the anatomy, biomechanics, and kinesiological principles associated with it.
 
Tune in this week to hear me the steps to strengthen the mind-body connection, how to teach from a place of confidence in your practice, as well as ways to have honest conversation about pain. Finally, I’ll also share some tips around bettering your practice by investing in your well-being.

As we continue to explore more guided meditations on the podcast, today’s show is extra special because I’m walking you through a new kind of body scan practice—different from what we’ve done in previous episodes.


While the typical body scan focuses your attention to a single point in your body (your hands, your shoulders, your feet, etc.) this practice I’m walking you through today will guide your attention to two points, allowing you to explore the space in between and around them. So find a safe, comfortable place to sit or lay down as I guide you through this 15-minute body scan practice to hear what your body is communicating.
