Personally I think of pain as the body’s way to signal that you’ve reached your limit, and sometimes pushing your body to the limit is what you want. Eg in dance school you should stretch to the point where it’s uncomfortable/painful otherwise you’re not getting any more flexible, but not beyond that because then you hurt yourself.
