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They break down outdated advice that’s still being followed today — and what the research actually shows now.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

Physical therapist Hannah Breal @made2movept sits down with the mastermind and founder of Made 2 Move, Yves Gege, to share the full origin story behind the brand.Yves shares what led him into physical therapy, the early influence of watching his sister’s PT, and the moment he realized the traditional insurance-based model wasn’t aligned with the kind of impact he wanted to have. From building an insurance based physical therapy clinic in Charleston to walking away from it all to start over in a CrossFit gym, this episode dives into the risks, convictions, and belief shifts that shaped Made 2 Move.Hannah and Yves talk about physical therapist burnout, movement-first care, the early years of Made 2 Move (and all the chaos that came with it), letting go of control and passing the vision forward, and what it actually takes to build something different in healthcare.Connect with Yves on Instagram @clinicalcashflow @ptbizJoin The Mastermind - PT Biz IG @PTBiz
In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, physical therapist Hannah Breal @made2movept shares her perspective on AI in healthcare, clinician burnout, and why the real problem isn’t technology - it’s the massive admin burden built into the system. Hannah breaks down how documentation, insurance, and volume-based care pull clinicians away from patients, where AI can help reduce administrative load, and the hard line she draws around human connection and clinical decision-making. This episode is for clinicians, active adults, and anyone who believes healthcare should be human-first.
In this episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, Hannah sits down with her husband and business partner, Elliot, to share the story behind the decision that shaped Made 2 Move as it exists today.They talk about Elliot’s path into physical therapy, the early days of Prime Performance Rehab, and how two separate journeys became one shared mission. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the risks, lessons, and non-negotiables that guide everything we do—and why relationships and one-on-one care will always come first.
Before Made 2 Move was a clinic, it was a belief. In the first episode of The Made 2 Move Podcast, Hannah Breal (@made2movept) shares the personal story that led her into physical therapy - and nearly led her out of it. From discovering the power of movement to pushing back against fear-based rehab, this episode explains why Made 2 Move exists and what kind of healthcare she believes people actually deserve.This episode sets the foundation for a different way of thinking about pain, movement, and what your body is capable of.
Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide — and yet we’re still spending $50 billion a year on it without solving the problem. In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) breaks down why the typical advice (perfect posture, endless adjustments, “don’t feel it in your back”) keeps us stuck in pain. She shares how our fear of back sensation has made us weaker, more fragile, and more likely to get hurt — and what actually needs to change if you want a strong, resilient back that can handle real life.

In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) tackles “tennis elbow” (lateral elbow tendinopathy) through a real CrossFit/pickleball case—what it is, why rest/ice/sleeves feel good but don’t fix it, and how tendons actually get better with the right mechanical loading. She breaks down the overflowing-cup model (calm symptoms, then build capacity), pain guardrails (≤ 3–4/10 with a 24–48 hr check), and a simple progression from isometric wrist holds to eccentrics, carries, pressing, and a staged return to rowing, kipping, and pickleball. You’ll learn where dry needling fits (a window, not the solution), realistic timelines (weeks to feel better; months to remodel), and how to modify training so you can keep lifting and playing without flares.

What do dolphins, a 24-foot trailer called The Hog, and Charleston’s newest spin scene have in common? Kylie. In this week’s episode, I sat down with Kylie, founder of Hot Girl Cycle Club, to hear how she went from dolphin training to creating Charleston’s first traveling spin studio.
Kylie shares the grit and sacrifices of her Seaworld career, how cycling became her escape, and how she turned a financial setback into an opportunity. With no access to traditional funding, she hustled for investors, thrifted bikes from across state lines, and built her business from scratch. Today, Hot Girl Cycle Club is Charleston’s first fully mobile cycling studio, building community and confidence through pop-ups and collaborations with local businesses.
The conversation covers entrepreneurship, resilience, and redefining fitness. For Kylie, being a “hot girl” means owning your confidence, building community, and refusing to quit, even when the odds are stacked against you.

Back pain is one of the most common and most misunderstood health issues out there. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. James Eubanks, a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, to bust myths and explain why back pain is such a big problem today.

We live in a linear culture where you are expected to know what you want to do for the rest of your life by age 18. There is no room for flexibility and it can lead to anxiety and depression, especially when it doesn't go the way you planned.
Stephanie Best from Modern Minds is a great example of someone who has had a squiggly career path before she finally became a Clinical Psychologist. In this episode she shares with Hannah now uses her practice and her experience to help others listen to what she calls their "inner compass" through acceptance and Contentment Therapy. They also talk about what it looks like to live your pest life and how adults stuck in that linear mindset can become psychologically flexible.

Pain is confusing, frustrating, and can really get in the way of doing the things you love.
We want to help people understand their pain so that they can take control, do what they love, and move without restrictions.

Elliot and Hannah talk about how stress and recovery impacts our overall health and the different types of stress in our everyday lives. They talk about how focusing on stress and recovery can help you face your pain and live your life again.

ACL Rehab and Performance Lab Specialist, Laura Sapper
Laura and I dive into ACL tears: why are there so many ACL injuries these days? Why is re-tear rate so high? How can we better prepare these athletes to return to sport?
As rehab professionals, we need to place the emphasis on the ATHLETE, not just the tear. There are more athletes than ever tearing their ACL, and unfortunately, standard care isn’t cutting it. 20-25% of these athletes are re-tearing and having to start over.
The problems of the ACLer are multifactorial, but there’s a lot of ways the system could be better built to serve this population.
That’s where the ACL Performance Lab comes in -

Hannah talks about how humans adapt to stressors and explains the relationship between stress, recovery, and adaptation. Humans are extremely complex systems - looking at training and life through this lens shows us how and why humans respond to stress, how to get the results you want from your training, how training really works, why it always “depends,” and why you should look at the person as a whole, and why we need to take all factors into consideration.

On today’s episode we have Meredith Nelson, owner of Primetime fitness. Meredith actually started as a music major, found fitness in college, worked as a case manager and taught fitness classes before / after work. As a case manager working with people with disabilities, she found that there was a missing piece between fitness and those with disabilities - she believes people with disabilities should still be fit and have access to fitness - so she quit her job and decided to open her own training studio.
Meredith and I talk about her story, her journey before, during, and after the pandemic, the 5 disciplines of triathlon, how to deal with clients who aren’t listening to you, realistic goal setting, and what’s next on the horizon for Meredith.
Meredith also tells us about her traumatic experience with her first triathlon - said she was never doing one again, but she just completed a half ironman May 23. Big congrats to Meredith!

Hannah just fully transitioned from in person to all online, and now she’s able to not only give her clients more of her time, but give more time to herself.
We talk a lot about how we often get into this business - fitness, healthcare, wellness, etc - to help others improve their relationships, mental health, and sleep, but so often we (trainers, clinicians, etc) lose sight of our own non-negotiables while devoting our time to others.

On today’s episode we travel to the Citadel to chat with Coach D - Donnell Boucher - the Assistant Athletic Director, Director of Strength and Conditioning, and Military Liaison at the Citadel.
Coach D wears a lot of hats and currently has his hand in tactical strength and conditioning and research.
We talk about his story, the moment he knew this was going to be his thing, what being a strength coach really means, what he hopes to change in the S&C field, and how his training has changed.
While some may be hoping for a lighter load, Coach D believes that we should be building ourselves to be stronger to carry that load.
How does Coach D create an environment of discipline and motivation? His answer may surprise you.
Coach D views everyday as an opportunity to improve someone else life and says the easiest part of his job is figuring out how to improve someone’s back squat and 40 yard dash. Turns out, getting athletes stronger and faster is just where Coach D’s work begins.

Today, we have another great episode brought to you by our very own Dr. Nate Jones! Dr. Nate is talking about several different topics today regarding low back pain and we think it will be extremely useful to you. Dr. Nate gets into how low back pain is the single largest cause of disability in the world and why this is. What research has found over time is that the Western World does not have the most prevalent back pain unlike what most would think. Sitting down in chairs doesn't necessarily produce the highest incidence of low back pain. There are other factors that make this disability so much more complicated and Dr. Nate takes a deep dive on this topic for us today! We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for listening to this week's episode!

Why muscles? If you're not a lifter, body-builder, or an elite level athlete, why do you think there is a need to develop muscles? Well, this is the topic that our team at Made 2 Move PT gets into today! Maybe you're a parent that doesn't want to throw their back out while playing in the yard with their kids? That's easier said than done for some of us! Maybe you're a dancer that needs to be more resilient when dealing with some of the stress dancing can put on one's body. The point here is that we should all desire to have better muscle development. If you're strong, then you increase tendon strength, ligament strength, and also bone strength. Less injuries equals more time doing the things you love! This was a fun group discussion and the topic is very straightforward. I hope you guys enjoy this one. We did!

What is up, Charleston? Welcome back to another edition of the Healthy Charleston Podcast. I can genuinely say that today's conversation will not disappoint you.

If you or someone you know has ever dealt with addiction or is in some sort of recovery process, then this is the podcast for you. Unfortunately, it is all too common to have known someone close that has dealt with something like this. Both Maggie and Courtney of Iron Wolf Recovery share their powerful stories with us today and their visions that I think will make a huge impact on our community.
At Iron Wolf Recovery, they are on a mission to helping people cultivate a lifestyle that is nurturing to an individuals' recovery. The IRW model is based on a mixture of personal experience and scientific evidence. Not only has physical activity been shown to be effective in supporting mental health and recovery, exercise as means to reduce the vulnerability to return to use has a scientific backing. Physical activity has been shown to help to restore some of the chemical imbalances created by chronic drug and alcohol use.
Maggie and Courtney are two inspiring people and I think you will really enjoy their amazing perspectives on today's episode! Check them out!

What's up, Charleston? Dane here with the Healthy Charleston Podcast and I am delighted today to be joined by Erin Beck! Erin is a retired professional skier, publicist, and marketing extraordinaire. We dive into many things including her background, growing up in Vail, Colorado, and how she came to start her company, It's Your Story.
Now why would the Healthy Charleston Podcast have a marketing specialist on as a guest? We think Erin and her marketing expertise have a lot to offer the Charleston fitness community and what direction she sees it heading to. I think you're going to like what she has to say with this!
After living in New York, traveling the world and immersing herself in the world of marketing & public relations, Erin took some time off, reevaluated, and ended up in Charleston.
Erin shares her passion and conviction for what it takes to not only be a healthy athlete, but also an overall healthy individual. We couldn't be happier that Erin took the time to join us on the podcast today and we are so glad that she decided to settle here in Charleston!

What's up everybody? This is Yves with the Healthy Charleston Podcast and we got a little something different for you today! We have Scott with Island Coastal Lager. Now this is exactly what you think it is. This is a beer company, but they're doing things just a little bit different. They've got some pretty socially conscious ideas of how they make their products, what ingredients that they use, and honestly opened my eyes to things I've never even thought about and things that I didn't even know about so this is a good one. Scott does an amazing job. He is the owner and this one was a lot of fun, so we'll get right to it. This is Scott with Island coastal lager.

Today's interview was a lot of fun! Don and Kathleen are a super passionate couple who share a love for everything fitness, diet, and nutrition. They truly care about empowering athletes' through education. They are the founders of Eat Love Triathlon. Eat Love Triathlon is their blog where they share all of their knowledge for being the best triathlete possible. Don has an extensive background in Ironman and triathlon competitions and he combines this experience with Kathleen's Dietitian background. With this, you get an amazing team of two individuals.
We dive into their backgrounds and how they are both from the West Coast but ended up meeting in here in Charleston!
Kathleen is originally a California girl turned faux Southerner when she moved to Charleston South Carolina to complete her dietetic internship just over 15 years ago. Since then, almost her entire career has been focused on clinical nutrition. What exactly does that mean? In her terms, it’s getting patients well enough to be discharged from the hospital just to come back over and over again.
Don is here to guide you on your triathlon training journey and help you conquer not only your mindset but your BIG goals too!
I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as we did! Please feel free to leave us a review on iTunes!
Aislinn Lindsey is the manager and lead nurse at Restore Hyper Wellness & Cryotherapy. We had a phenomenal time with her recording this podcast! Aislinn is in an interesting role at Restore. Having a medical background and being the manager is a little bit different from Restore's franchise model but she enjoys the versatility this allows her.
Aislinn is originally from Connecticut and recently moved to Charleston in 2018 with her husband and dogs. She is certainly enjoying the weather here in the South this time of year! She previously was a float nurse at a small community hospital, then worked in a trauma unit and began to feel some burnout and felt the need for a career change.
She definitely shares her passion for what she does and she is the definition of how taking a leap of faith in your career can lead to great opportunities.
Aislinn shares the background of Restore and how they began back in Austin, TX. Restore has grown to 36 locations around the United States and is showing no signs of slowing down! Services offered include cryotherapy, compression therapy, infrared sauna, micro nutrient testing, stretch base, and much more! Do yourself a favor and check them out!

We have another fantastic episode to bring you guys today on the Healthy Charleston Podcast! The last time Dane, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Nate were together, they dispelled some myths on youth athletes and training. There was a lot of good nuggets within that episode and we would like to branch off that conversation and discuss injuries youth athletes deal with.
We know that youth athletes are going to have injuries. There is no way around it. We dive into the best way to attack recovery, rehab, then progressing back into your sport.
This episode is especially valuable if you are a parent of a youth athlete and you were curious to how your child should progress through an injury and knowing that there is a plan in place for getting your child back to their sport.
Other topics include aerobic conditioning, not just sitting on the couch and playing video games through an injury, getting youth athletes to visualize their sport during an injury, and much more!
We appreciate you taking the time to listen to today's episode and would appreciate it if you could take the time to leave us a review!
What's up guys, thank you for tuning into another episode of the podcast! Today's episode is more of a freestyle featuring Dr. Nate Jones, PT & Dr. Matt Shiver, PT and yours truly Dane Gifford. We dispel some common myths and answer questions related to youth athletic development.
The most common myth involving youth athletic development is that lifting weights will stunt your growth. There is not a single piece of research or evidence out there that suggests lifting weights will stunt a youth's growth. If there is, we would love to see it! We dispel this myth with evidence of the positives involved with youth weight training and athletic development.
We cover this along with other common misinformation on youth athletic development. We appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to today's episode and would also appreciate if you took the time to leave us a review on iTunes!
What's up everybody? We've got a great episode for you today! We have Andrea who's in the financial world by day and Spartan race competitor by night. This was such a cool podcast. She found a sport that she loved, that she enjoys, and that pushes her, makes her dig deep, and go to the dark place deep in that well, to really push through and compete at a high level.
Like I said, this one is full of good nuggets. It's honestly a really, really cool story. It's awesome to have somebody in the local Charleston area who competes at this level with these Spartan races. If you don't know what a Spartan race is, you'll understand for sure by the end of the podcast, even ways to kind of train for one yourself and just the benefits of pushing yourself out of that comfort zone and really seeing how deep that well goes. Enjoy!

For as long as Lauren can remember she has always been into fitness! She started with being a P.E. teacher at the elementary school level but was always striving to do more within the group fitness industry. Lauren gives a full rundown of her background and how teaching a Body Pump class at Auburn University has led her down the path of now working with Peloton!
-
Lauren has taken risks in her career but without risks you may never open up new possibilities for yourself! Lauren has certainly done this for herself in her career.
-
Do you have a fear of getting a Peloton and it becoming a place to place your laundry rather than it being the amazing piece of cardio equipment it is? Well have no fear because Lauren and her Peloton expertise help us get a clear understanding of how the gamification of fitness and more particularly Peloton is helping people change their lives for the better!
-
Lauren truly represents herself and her passion for health & fitness on today's episode. She sends a clear message of how little victories in our day to day lives can lead us to an overall improved lifestyle. Peloton especially does a fantastic job of using it's content and motivating it's users to get over the hurdles of a lack of motivation!

If you enjoy this episode we would really appreciate it if you took some time to leave us a review! We appreciate you listening!

Meal delivery option we mentioned: https://balancedbites.com2. Two quick resources on why we should avoid incentivizing with food: https://maryannjacobsen.com/what-rewarding-kids-with-food-looks-like-20-years-later/Although written for schools, this resource (Food_As_Rewards pdf - attached) includes some great information and alternate suggestions, and a favorite quote on the subject, "Rewarding children with unhealthy foods in school undermines our efforts to teach them about good nutrition. It’s like teaching children a lesson on the importance of not smoking, and then handing out ashtrays and lighters to the kids who did the best job listening.” Marlene Schwartz, Ph.D., Deputy Director, Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, Yale University. 3. What is Nutrient Density? Facebook post: 4. More about the Nutritional Therapy Association: https://nutritionaltherapy.com/about/

Snacks - While I agree that some people need go-to, healthy snacks or small meals for certain situations, I also encourage clients to tune into eating enough of their best ratio of quality protein/fat/carbs at each meal so that they don’t regularly feel the need for snacks. (Of course, those who train at a higher level or have specific medical conditions or lifestyle needs may require adjustments.). I particularly encourage parents to avoid feeding kids (or anyone else) snacks out of habit or craving as opposed to real hunger. If kids aren’t hungry enough to eat quality, real food, they aren’t really hungry. This can be a hard concept but helping kids to discern between hunger (or thirst, which is often confused with hunger) and cravings will contribute immensely to long term health.

Oh Buddy!!! Today was a blast! Dr. Henderson agree on alot of things healthcare related. Dr. Henderson is a endocronlogist who practices in Charleston and focuses on thyroid health. She has an amazing treatment philosophy (and I won't ruin it)But its most likely way different than anything you've heard!!! We both agree that modern medicine relies to much on medication and not on lifestyle changes. We need more conservative approaches. There may be a rant/tangent or two on that topic haha!!! Dr. Henderson really puts some common sense behind thyroid and hormone health. She explains alot of difficult complex topics in very easy to understand common sense way! The thyroid is often misdiagnosed and can really be at the root cause of alot of issues. She knows so much she wrote a book on it! It's called “What You Must Know About Hashimoto's Disease” and I would highly reccomend you check it out.

Today had the pleasure of interviewing Eliza who is a fitness professional who loves nutrition, fitness, and spreading great information. She came from a family that put good nutrition and movement first. Also, she had a bad car accident in college, where she literally broke her back and was told she may never walk again. Needless to say, she made a full recovery and has found a new passion for health and fitness. She takes nothing for granted even the smallest things, and uses this perspective to help her clients and all of those around her. We talk a full range of topics including nutrition, poop, fitness, and morning routines. She knows that there is no one size fits all for everyone when it comes to health and fitness. My biggest takeaway today was we all need a morning routine, some selfish solitude, and we need to evolve in our health and fitness! Some great nuggests in this conversation! Enjoy!
