Your body is always talking to you. Today we explore the emotional and traumatic underpinnings of physical pain and what the body is attempting to show us with guest, Rachel Wittenberger.
Rachel is a physical therapist with an atypical approach to working with ailments and guiding you and your body back into harmony. With a holistic approach to treating pain and dis-ease Rachel and Kelly discuss factors contributing to physical discomfort and dysfunctional movement patterns.
Together we unwrap the profound links between our physical and emotional states. Chronic pain isn't just a signal of bodily distress; it's often a cry from unhealed traumas seeking attention.
With over two decades of experience as a physical therapist, Rachel reveals the critical role self-awareness plays in our health, advocating for a treatment approach that listens to the whispers of the body and treats the root causes of pain, rather than just the symptoms.
Rachel's expertise in functional physical therapy and osteopathic manipulation shines a spotlight on the significance of considering the whole kinetic chain. We consider how modern lifestyles, with their sedentary demands, can throw a wrench into our musculoskeletal system, while also touching on the environmental factors that leave imprints on our health.
Through personal anecdotes of healing and professional insights, this episode is an invitation to pursue a balanced narrative for your body and spirit and deepen your curiosity into the messages behind the discomfort.
