How to Manage Stress So Your Pain Actually Gets Better

from The Pelvic Freak Show · host Dr. Hannah Meyer, PT, DPT and Dr. Amanda Neri, PT, DPT

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about something that everyone says is important but no one really knows how to deal with: stress. Sure, we hear all the time that stress management matters, but did you know it could be the reason your pain isn’t improving?Let us paint a picture we see all the time: someone dealing with chronic pain who’s showing up to PT once or twice a week and putting in the work… but not feeling any better. Now add in a demanding job, minimal sleep, zero downtime, and a nervous system that’s been in fight-or-flight for who knows how long. Sound familiar?In this yappisode-style episode, we’re talking about ideas for stress relief that aren’t just exercise. We’re talking hobbies, movement, creative outlets, and ways to actually give yourself a break. Try out some of the things we mention in this episode and you might just notice your pain start to shift (bc spoiler alert – all work and no play is not the answer).Have a question or story?
