Pain That Moves is Better Than Pain That Sticks

Not all pain is a problem. In this episode, Jessica and Jonny explore the difference between pain that moves—the kind that signals adaptation, release, and change—and pain that sticks, the kind that lingers because the body or mind has stopped listening. They break down what’s actually happening in the nervous system when pain shifts versus when it locks in place, how movement and awareness keep the fascia communicating, and why stagnation—physical or emotional—amplifies suffering. You’ll learn how to recognize when your system is processing pain productively, how to interrupt the loops that keep it frozen, and simple ways to restore flow through tension, breath, and alignment. Because pain that moves is communication. Pain that sticks is a story you’ve stopped updating.
