Why Injuries Keep Coming Back | A Root Cause Approach to Chronic Pain

Why Injuries Keep Coming Back | A Root Cause Approach to Chronic Pain

Author: Reed Davis April 17, 2026 Duration: 46:25
Chronic pain that keeps coming back isn’t random, and it’s rarely just about the injury itself.   In this episode, Michele sits down with movement specialist Helen Hall to break down why so many people stay stuck in cycles of chronic pain, recurring injuries, and failed rehab.   From an FDN perspective, we talk about hidden stressors in the body; the things most practitioners aren’t measuring, including movement inefficiencies, compensation patterns, and how the body adapts under stress.   Helen shares how posture, gait, and movement patterns can quietly drive inflammation, overload the system, and prevent true healing, especially in clients who feel like they’ve already tried everything.   If you’re a practitioner, or someone dealing with chronic pain, tightness, or recurring injuries, this episode will completely shift how you look at the body.Connect with Helen Hall:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/helenhallpfm/ Website: https://www.helen-hall.co.uk/
