Nathan shares how his own thinking evolved after decades of working with chronic pain clients, shifting away from “fixing” the body and toward helping it feel safe enough to heal.Together, they unpack why aggressive stretching can backfire, how the nervous system drives pain responses, and why awareness, patience, and gradual movement matter more than any single technique. Nathan also offers practical tools for desk workers, insights on posture myths, and simple ways to calm the nervous system through breath and gentle movement.This episode is an invitation to stop battling your body and start working with it—one small, respectful step at a time.Resources:nathanbriner.comFollow Nathan on Instagram: @nathan_brinerTo learn more about our wonderful presenters and exciting weeks coming up at the ranch, go to RanchoLaPuerta.com and check out our events calendar.
