Your body needs movement. We’re kind of big on sharing that message here on the podcast! In this episode, our host Dr. Matthew Zanis shares why and rest is the enemy and why the results of your MRI are likely not as bad or scary as you have been led to believe. Matthew shares his own experience with an injury, ways we can learn from what our pain is telling us, and the benefits of moving through it. Wear and tear on the body is completely normal, and your physical and mental health depend on continuing to move and care for your body. You are not a victim to your pain and you owe it to your body and mind to keep moving forward.
