Episode 20: Reframing pain with Ben Kraus, PT, DPT

Today's guest is physical therapist Ben Kraus. I invited Ben on to the podcast because of his progressive and thoughtful approach to working with patients that may be surprising, but truly helps people get better in a way they never expected. This episode is basically a crash course in learning about why you're in pain and how to get out of it. So if you're someone who has ever dealt with acute or chronic pain (basically....everyone?), listen in because this episode may just change the way you take care of your own body and advocate for yourself forever.Some conversations we dive into:why educating yourself around how pain actually works can help you feel better faster why looking at a person as a human being and not just a group of body parts changes everythingwhy making sure that your coach or PT cares about what matters to you can make all the difference in helping you feel betterwhy trusting the person you work with will dictate your successhow to shift your perspective from being fearful of movement and injury to embracing movement as a way to become stronger and more capablewhy getting comfortable experimenting with different ways to move can help improve your painwhy  movement is essential to dealing with chronic pain and how it can help you get back to your life faster and strongerwhy and how rest after pain and injury is misunderstood and misusedConnect with BenEmail: [email protected] with JordanaWebsiteInstagramFacebookConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
