It's a little bit of a challenging question to answer. Because it depends on what our goal is. If our goal is to just feel better than, yes, let's lean towards the routines that do not cause pain. Because we are just improving the body's functionality in a way that doesn't push you right up against maybe a core problem.

The routines that do cause pain are not bad, they're not wrong. It's if you really take a step back, you have to understand that each routine is designed to restore proper joint motion, while keeping the body in alignment.

So if a routine is painful for you, that can be highly beneficial in a showing you that you've lost that basic alignment and joint functionality. But be it's it's really showing you what are the dysfunctions and how severe are they right because the pain is going to be on par or sharing equal level as to the level of dysfunction or the severity of dysfunction that you have.

So if you've been in chronic pain for some time, and a routine does feel good, I say go with that, let's at least train your body that we can move and it feels good. Once you've done that, and you started to break free from that cycle of chronic pain, and it's no longer got that vicious hold, right, that vicious cycle of chronic pain are no longer stuck in that once we start to break free from that, then we can delicately and gently choose routines that do cause a little bit of irritation and discomfort. Because it is challenging a core problem, right there is no routine that I teach you that is going to ask your muscles or joints to move in odd funky ways that are outside what natural movements the human body needs on a daily basis to execute and perform basic tasks. So the more we can use our routines to kind of iron out the things that we can't really do that well, and learn how to gently approach them to restore that function over time.

Our goal over time should be no routine causes pain because we've restored ankle knee, hip, pelvis, spine and shoulder motion to where we can twist, bend, flex and rotate and none of it is symptomatic. So once we break free from chronic pain cycle, then it could be appropriate for you to introduce a routine that makes you feel slightly less good. And be very patient.

Play with intensity.

Work on how hard you're pushing those exercises, and observe over time how the symptoms start to go down as your body's functionality improves.
