If you’ve ever had a client who was afraid to return to an exercise after tweaking something, you know how challenging it can be to rebuild their confidence. In this episode, I’m sharing 5 powerful questions to help you understand where their fear is coming from, challenge any unhelpful narratives they might be holding onto, and guide them back to movement safely and confidently. We’ll dive into the details of what to ask, why it matters, and how to use their answers to make adjustments and offer tailored support. Whether they’re worried about re-injury, unsure about their body’s capacity, or just stuck in their head, these questions will help you support them through it.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.

Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
