Pain.

Nick | 08/17/2015 | 3

CrossFit can inform us a lot about our bodies, how they work and how we relate to them. It can be very easy to misinterpret this information sometimes and we might often find ourselves in a rut trying to change some of these aspects. The following is paraphrased from Dr. Perry Nickelston of Stop Chasing Pain for your consideration.

The question is not

“how can I fix this?”

it’s

“what am I doing everyday to create this?”

You don’t just wake up with back pain. Although it appears that way.

You don’t suddenly get knee pain when running. Although it appears that way.

You don’t hurt your shoulder throwing the ball. Although it appears that way.

What’s the habit that caused the signal.

What signal?

PAIN.

The signal is not the problem. The signal is the helper.

What help?

Realizing you have a problem.

What’s the problem?

The way you move.

What’s pain?

PAIN IS A REQUEST FOR CHANGE.

Changing what?

Changing habits.

What’s movement?

Habit.

Change movement. Change habit. Change pain. Change your life.

The end…
