She was finally told the real problem wasn’t her feet. It was that she’d been in fight-or-flight for two years.
Brittney had already been through chiropractors, muscle-activation work, and multiple physical therapists who all gave her the same protocol no matter how she actually moved. A clean MRI ruled out anything structural. None of it explained what was actually happening to her.
Then one provider looked past the feet entirely. He told her that after two years of chronic pain, her nervous system was stuck in fight-or-flight — and that’s why she’d started crying whenever her kids touched her. Not because anything was wrong with her as a mom. Because her body had been bracing for pain for so long it couldn’t tell the difference anymore between a hug and a threat.
That’s the moment things actually started to change. Not a new exercise. Somebody finally looked at the whole picture instead of just the feet.
If you’ve been treated like your pain lives in one spot, and it’s never quite added up, it might be time for someone to look at the whole picture instead. Link in bio.
