What her wrists were telling her: Reading your body’s signals differently with Wendy Welpton

Excited to be back for Season 8 of the Make Movement Matter podcast. This week it’s a mini solo episode. 

A question from a workshop this week stopped me in my tracks. Someone told me her wrists hurt when she gets up from the ground, and asked if she should just stop putting weight on them. My answer surprised her, but also the question made me realise how so many frame discomfort negatively and fearfully. 

In this solo episode I’m talking about what discomfort can actually be trying to tell us, and why avoiding it could do more harm than good. As in all the minis, there’s a movement for the wrists of course. 

And as I mention my signature course Reclaim Everyday Ease starting next week – if you would like more information then please click here: https://www.reclaimmovement.co.uk/reclaim-everyday-ease/

Ready to reclaim the way you move?

If you’re enjoying the Make Movement Matter podcast, you’re probably already feeling it – the way your body wants to move more, but modern life keeps getting in the way.

Maybe you’re…

  • Starting to feel stiff or stuck and want to move more freely
  • Active but still feel like something’s missing
  • Wondering how to keep doing what you love as you age

Whatever your starting point, Reclaim Movement can help you build strength, mobility and confidence, not through pressure or rigid plans, but with real-life movement that fits your body and your life.
