Summary

In this episode, I walk through the signs of focusing too hard on form, posture, and control and how that might actually be making your body more rigid, which can backfire into getting weaker, experiencing more pain or stiffness, and feeling less mobile. We explore the nuances of what it looks like when movement turns into something you have to manage, how form "rules" add up quietly and become tightness, fatigue, and recurring discomfort, what kind of support actually helps restore confidence and trust in your movement.
