In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, physical therapist Hannah Breal @made2movept breaks down the 7 most common beliefs she sees holding patients back from actually solving their pain - and why changing what you think about your body matters just as much as any exercise or treatment.

She covers everything from why pain doesn't equal damage, to the truth about impact and joint health, to why stretching alone is rarely the answer.



If you've tried all the things and still aren't getting better, this episode might be the missing piece.

In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, Hannah sits down with Dr. Margie Davenport — exercise physiologist and leading researcher in pregnancy and postpartum exercise — to answer the questions women actually have about pregnancy and postpartum exercise guidelines.

Can you lift weights while pregnant?

Is running or higher intensity exercise safe?

Do you really need to stay under 140 bpm?

When can you return to exercise postpartum?

What actually matters when it comes to exercising pregnant or postpartum?

Does exercise have any benefits during pregnancy or postpartum?

They break down outdated advice that’s still being followed today — and what the research actually shows now.

Dr. Margie shares how guidelines have evolved, why pregnancy shouldn’t be treated like an injury, and how to approach exercise during pregnancy and postpartum in a way that supports both physical and mental health.

If you’ve been told to “take it easy” or stop training altogether, this episode will help you think clearly and move with confidence.
