How do you deal with pain and stress? We live in a society where most people manage their problems by using medication. A pill for a headache. A pill to sleep. A pill for anxiety. A pill for stress.
While this form of relief is instantaneous, we are merely treating our symptoms and not the underlying causes. Well, what if I told you that relief could be as simple as just adjusting the way you breathe?
Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment.
Her unique approach comes from 11 years of experience in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions.
Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep deprivation and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method.
On this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Amy and I discuss why she developed the PABR method, why the way we are taught to hold ourselves is preventing us from living pain free, and how breathwork can improve not only our physical health, but our mental health as well.
