In this Ask the Expert episode, I’m joined by Amy Linford — also known as “The Pain Whisperer”. Amy is an applied neurology practitioner, strength and conditioning coach, and passionate mental health advocate who helps people rebuild their relationship with movement in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.
Her work goes far beyond reps and routines — Amy helps people understand the root cause of their pain, and provides practical, therapeutic treatment and personalised rehabilitation programmes that support long-term recovery and resilience.
Whether you’ve struggled with anxiety, felt overwhelmed by traditional fitness environments, or sensed that “just go to the gym” wasn’t the whole answer — this conversation will speak to you.
We explore:
-
How trauma, anxiety, and the nervous system affect training
-
What it means to take a trauma-informed approach to coaching
-
Why safety, choice, and compassion matter in fitness spaces
-
Tools and insights for creating more freedom in your body — and your life
This is an episode about meeting yourself where you are, working with your body instead of against it, and redefining strength beyond aesthetics.
