<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you know that if you integrate yoga, medicine, and rehabilitation, you can get better results? Welcome to the very first episode of From Pain to Possibility, with your host Susi Hately. Susi is giving us some useful information that can be implemented today, and along the way, she is sharing bits and pieces of her life so we can get to know her better. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Susi is the owner and director of</span> <a href="https://www.functionalsynergy.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Functional Synergy Yoga Therapy,</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">where she trains healthcare professionals and yoga teachers on how to integrate yoga therapeutically into their practices. Susie also runs a private one-to-one session series for people who have pain, long-standing pain, and those who want to get rid of the pain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen as Susi shares her background and what she means by a</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial_model"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">biopsychosocial</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">model. She speaks about being creative after her twins were born and condensing several concepts into one model, which she calls the integrative healing journey or integrative healing process. Susi also discusses blue and purple ribbons. How the ability to assess effectively helps grow the client's clarity to understand what is and isn't working.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you curious about what is going on in your body? Susi discusses how sometimes when moving our bodies, we think we are moving our hips when in fact; we are moving our pelvis. This can be a neuromechanical miss between our brain and the tissue of what we are supposed to be moving. Susi says that sometimes improvement requires a change of belief.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hopefully, you have found some usable techniques in this episode that you can play with
