Today I’m excited to share with you a podcast created by Brooke Thomas of The Liberated Body, interviewing Todd Hargrove of www.bettermovement.org. If you follow me on social media you know I’m a huge fan of Brooke’s podcast and recommend it for anyone who wants to delve into the cutting edge of movement education and therapy. This particular interview, however, is so valuable to injured runners for the insights about pain and movement that I had to share it more widely.
Since I’ve had problems linking to the podcast from within this post, here is the url for the podcast — just copy and paste it into your browser:
http://www.liberatedbody.com/todd-hargrove-lbp-025/
Give it a listen and you’ll learn why pain is not an accurate indicator of damage to our bodies, what the connection is between your cortical map (or the map you have of your body) and chronic pain, how to use slow, gentle, safe-feeling movement explorations as a powerful treatment for pain, and what the relationship is between motor control and your behavior in general. It’s basically 42 minutes of myth-busting and mind-blowing, and you’ll feel very different about any pain you have afterwards.
I’ll be back next weekend with a few special holiday gift offers, stay tuned!
Thanks for highlighting and sharing this podcast – just letting you know that the link to the interview brings you back to this page, not the podcast – it is not hard to find from the other links, but I am guessing you meant to link directly.
Very impressed with your regularity, am struggling to keep up the flow on my blog – you are an inspiration!

Hi Maggy! My apologies, see above.
And as far as regularity, knowing I have readers such as yourself keeps me keen to deliver… even when it means a 2am bedtime some Sundays!
hello! I’d love to listen to this interview as it sounds really interesting, but can’t seem to get to it via the link – is there another way please? thank you!
Hi Serena! Sorry for that, please see my reply to Bert, above.
The link to the podcast simply links back to this page… Could you correct it?
I’m sorry about this, I’ve corrected it umpteen times both the day I posted it and since then, and it keeps reverting to this. I can’t for the life of me figure out why. So instead, here’s the url for the podcast: http://www.liberatedbody.com/todd-hargrove-lbp-025/
