Change the way you look at pain - Perry Nickelston - Episode 57

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. Have you had a time in your life when you are managing pain, through a new or old injury or some other kind of pain that just appeared and it has just lingered? Chances are you have had one of those and this weeks episode is absolutely worth a listen. This week we are speaking with Perry Nickelston aka @stopchasingpain. We have been following Perry for a while now and he comes up in conversation when I’m training at my local box. The work Perry is putting out is incredible, he is a chiropractic physician who specialises in supporting people to get out of pain. Not pain free as he says during the podcast but able to manage and move through pain. I’ve struggled with a dodgy knee for a couple of years now, since dislocating it and it has been a constant niggle in my performance. But since following Perry and delving deeper into why the pain is there and where it actually begins has been a fascinating journey. Like many other of the minds we speak to, he references the importance to move, to lift, to hydrate but this time through a filter of the Lymph system. Our bodies natural waste removal system which stagnates when we become sedentary and can back up, much like a sewage system in our cities. Like each conversation we have on the show, there is a rich mine of information and concepts and this is for anyone who trains, wants to live feeling better or has pain somewhere in their body that they are trying to manage. And the take away for me is that although you might feel pain in a part of your body. The source is likely to be nothing to do with the pain you are feeling, but are you willing to go looking for the true source? Been wanting to have this conversation for a while now and so delighted to have recorded this and now putting it out.
