Feldenkrais for Chronic Pain: Gentle Movement, Back Pain Relief & Mind-Body Healing with Beverly

from Beyond The Pain · host Leigh Brandon

Chronic pain can take over your life, affecting how you move, think, feel, sleep, work and connect with the people around you. But what if part of the way forward was not forcing your body harder, but learning how to move with more awareness, ease and intelligence?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Beverly, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and founder of Pauseture, about how her own debilitating back pain led her away from the corporate world and into the Feldenkrais Method.After trying several approaches without lasting success, Beverly experienced a dramatic shift during her first Feldenkrais lesson. Through gentle movement and awareness, she discovered a new way of relating to her body — one that eventually helped her overcome pain, improve mobility and regulate her nervous system.In this conversation, Beverly explains how Feldenkrais can help people with chronic pain by improving body awareness, changing habitual movement patterns and helping the nervous system feel safer.You’ll hear about:Why chronic pain is not always solved by stretching, strengthening or “fixing” the painful areaHow gentle movement can help calm the nervous systemThe role of awareness in pain recoveryWhy forcing movement can sometimes make pain worseHow Feldenkrais differs from conventional exercise or therapyBeverly’s personal journey from severe back pain to becoming a practitionerHow Pauseture helps people bring mindful movement into everyday lifeIf you have been living with persistent back pain, chronic pain, stiffness, tension or movement fear, this episode offers a hopeful and practical conversation about a different way to approach recovery.Beverly’s Details:Website: https://www.pauseture.com/Apple App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pauseture-mindful-movement/id6483941228Google Play App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otrofy.pauseture&hl=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pauseture/Leigh’s Details:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter: https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation
