When someone experiences pain, especially after an injury, it's common to become hesitant—or even afraid—to move. This episode explores kinesiophobia, the fear of movement due to pain, and how it can lead to a vicious cycle of stiffness, weakness, and more pain. You'll cover why this happens and how gentle movement and chiropractic care can help break the cycle.
