    #83 - Mike Stella: Pain isn't the Problem — It’s the Teacher (Movement Underground)

    In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with Mike Stella, founder of Movement Underground—one of the most innovative pain and rehab facilities in New York. Mike challenges mainstream beliefs around pain and breaks down why: 1️⃣ Pain doesn’t mean you’re broken. 2️⃣ Pain is information—not a stop sign. 3️⃣ Your mindset determines your recovery. They explore how pain can become a motivator, how to connect daily habits to long-term change, and why behavior change—not perfect rehab exercises—is the real key to healing. You’ll learn: ✅ Why people stay stuck in pain (and why it’s rarely physical) ✅  How to turn pain into a catalyst for getting stronger ✅  Why trying to avoid discomfort keeps you from improving ✅ The difference between treating pain and transforming behavior Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone dealing with chronic pain—or you simply want to get stronger mentally and physically—this episode will change how you view pain, movement, and personal growth. Pain can stop you or pain can shape you. The choice is yours.
