We all have a medicine cabinet inside us. This medicine cabinet is filled with resources that provide ways beyond opioids and cannabis and other medications for treating illness and pain.
Movement may be one of the most powerful ways to access this medicine cabinet inside us, but not all movement does it, and many with chronic pain seem to have a more challenging time accessing it.

As such they move and exercise in a certain manner that doesn’t often help us move with more ease or have less pain.
Neil will discuss the difference that can happen when movement is viewed as a treatment intended to open the medicine cabinet inside.
