In this empowering episode, we dive deep into the realm of fear-based movement and explore strategies to help patients conquer their anxieties, helping them move towards a more confident and pain-free existence.\\xa0

Anxiety and fear of movement are real things and can prevail even when we are termed "fit to play", "fit to move" or "pain-free". Just because someone is pain-free, it doesn\'t mean that they can move well or move without fear.\\xa0

We discuss the implications of movement anxiety and explore the roots of fear and how it manifests in the body. Our discussion involves 2 specific case studies where fear of a certain movement was stalling their recovery and includes specific techniques and exercises for a positive outcome.\\xa0

By the end of this episode, you\'ll be equipped with valuable tools and insights to help your patients move better, even when fear holds them back.
