They emphasize the significance of shifting our mindset and gaining a deeper understanding of the processes involved in experiencing pain.Furthermore, Raquel and Dr. Katie stress that pain does not always signify harm. They argue that pain is an inherent part of life and does not necessarily indicate severe damage. They caution against the misconception that being pain-free equates to being healthy. Instead, they encourage embracing pain as a part of the human experience and understanding that we will go through ups and downs where pain is present.QUOTES"My main goal is to be able to provide people with the type of health care experience that goes beyond labeling somebody with a diagnosis, labeling somebody with something that they think is in quotations wrong with them, giving them a lot of limitations, and making people feel broken." - Dr. Katie Dabrowski“You can't experience life without pain. And that is true across the board, because whenever you are going to grow, whether that's spiritually, emotionally, financially, I mean, you have to risk certain things. And sometimes that risk of saying, pushing your comfort zone, for instance, that usually causes some form of pain.” - Raquel Ramirez"In the absence of a mechanism of injury, an extreme trauma, or extreme red flags, most pain is because we are exposing our body to something that we haven't exposed it to in a long time and we did a little bit too much too soon, or we're doing something that exceeds the demands of what our body can currently do." - Dr. Katie DabrowskiSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSRaquel RamirezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/featured_properties_intl/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/featuredreLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raquel-ramirez/Dr. Katie DabrowskiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ktdabrowski/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OldBullAthleticsMiami/WEBSITES:The Real Talk: https://www.therealtalkpodcast.net/Featured Properties International: https://msha.ke/featuredreOld Bull Athletics: https://oldbullathletics.com/
