#62 - Built Through Movement Mini Series (Pain Rules — Should You Train Through Pain or Stop Exercising?)

Welcome back to the Built Through Movement series inside The Athlete Mom Project podcast. If you’ve ever asked yourself: • Should I workout with pain? • Is it safe to run with knee pain? • How do I know if this is an injury or just soreness? • Am I making my pain worse by continuing to train? This episode will change the way you think about pain and decision making when it comes to exercise. Inside this episode, we break down the Pain Rules — a simple framework I use with my coaching clients to help them make smarter decisions when pain shows up during training. Because most people fall into one of two traps: They either push through pain and make the injury worse, or they stop moving completely and lose strength and capacity. Neither of those options actually helps the body recover or become more resilient. In this episode we talk about: • The difference between pain and injury • How to know if it’s safe to continue training with pain • When you should modify exercises instead of stopping completely • When pain is a signal to change the load or movement pattern • How athlete moms can stay consistent with training without constantly re-injuring themselves Learning how to interpret pain correctly is one of the most important skills you can develop as an active woman. Because the goal isn’t to avoid movement. The goal is to build a body that can tolerate more movement, more strength, and more life. Movement Assessment Application If this episode sparked some lightbulb moments for you, the next step isn’t guessing what exercises you should be doing. The next step is understanding your specific movement capacity. I offer a Movement Assessment Application where you can tell me about: • pain or injuries you’re experiencing • movement limitations • hormonal frustrations • pelvic floor symptoms • training goals • performance goals From there, I’ll help you determine whether you would benefit most from: • a personalized movement assessment • the Built Through Movement program • a different coaching approach based on your body and goals • or I will refer you to someone inside my world who would be better suited to support you. Together we assess, we don't guess. Movement Assessment Application: [Fill It Out Here] I personally review every application and will point you toward the best next step.
