Episode 163 - Is Your Diagnosis Holding You Back?

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/03/07

A diagnosis can be helpful & validating, but it can also become a mental roadblock. Too many people get stuck in the story they’ve been told (or the one they’ve created) about their diagnosis, and it ends up limiting their movement, training, and progress more than the actual issue itself. Not to mention it can also create some additional tension and pain around the area, too! In this episode, we’ll talk about the sneaky ways a diagnosis can hold you back, how to recognize when it’s happening, and

Comparison is often labeled as the thief of joy, but what if it could actually be a powerful teacher?
