In this episode of the podcast we direct our focus towards back spasms. Back spasms are one of the main reasons people come to me as just the fear alone can cause us to live in a place where we feel we are unable to enjoy ourselves in life. They cause us to cancel plans, reorganise events and stop the activities we love. And what's crazy is it is actually possible to stop them having such an impact on our lives. In this episode I tell you exactly how. If you struggle with back spasms check out our FREE COURSE - Back Spasm Solutions --> Click here to get access

In this episode we look at how your pain rarely has one specific cause. Also how looking at this with a reductionist view can impact our ability to overcome it. Pain is always going to be multi-factorial. How we respond to pain is important.  The more you come to understand your own pain, the better able you will be to fix it. I speak on how systems are interconnected, why a holistic approach is essential in recovery from a chronic injury, how we have looked at the mind-body approach wrong for years and what you can do to help heal yourself.

In this episode, we're diving into the five most overlooked strategies that could completely change your recovery. These aren't your typical “rest and hope for the best” tips. Instead, we'll explore: Why your thoughts might be making your back pain worse—and how to stop it. The surprising truth about pain limits and how to tell when to push or pull back. The hidden connection between fatigue and recurring pain—you'll never think about recovery the same way again. How something as simple as walking could be the key to healing your back. Why most plans fail and the game-changing blueprint to build a recovery strategy that works for you. But here's the kicker: bulging disks can heal themselves—but only if you know how to harness your body's natural recovery mechanisms. Miss this step, and you might stay stuck in the cycle of pain and frustration. Understand The Root Cause Of Chronic & Persistent Pain.

In this episode of the podcast, we look at the subtleties of a chronic injury and how these can still hinder your recovery even if you're doing everything right.

If you've been giving the diagnosis before that it is posture related, your glutes/core is weak, your muscles are overactive or your disks are the problem, you've most likely been misled.

I speak on my own recent experience of blaming an injury for not participating in an activity.

This happens to us all and if it goes unchecked it can have a real impact on our lives.

In this episode of the podcast, I reflect on my time spent growing up in the pub & restaurant as well as the different type of people that used to come in.

In this episode, we're diving into the curious world of sham surgeries in research and what they can teach us. Imagine a surgeon walking a patient through every step of a procedure, but no actual changes happen in the targeted area. What's fascinating is the profound impact this seemingly "pretend" surgery can have on a patient's pain levels and overall function—both right after the mock surgery and in the crucial follow-up months. What would this teach us about pain? Are some surgeries just a mock? Do you actually need surgery, or is there something you can do instead? Find out in this episode!

In this podcast episode, we dive into the shift from summer to winter and its impact on our well-being. It's common for many to find the winter stretch challenging, eagerly counting the days until spring and summer return. This often leaves us feeling trapped, directionless, and in a mood slump. However, we want to give you a different perspective on how you can approach the next couple of months so that in time you will begin to favour the winter for a different reason. It's all about perspective and how we view our world, therefore, if we can adopt a world-view that allows us to challenge ourselves and take advantage of every season, we don't become as lost or feel stuck in that state of "limbo" while we wait for the winter to pass.   If you are dealing with back pain at the minute and want to return to exercise, check out spineinitiative.com for a holistic program that will guide you on your journey to a healthy lifestyle.

In this episode of the podcast, we turn our view to the idea of taking time out of your year to spend time alone, in solitude. Spending time alone seems like a scary concept for many people as we are easily bored and too soon turn towards social media and surface-level tasks to keep us interested. However, these surface-level tasks can often detract from our overall quality of life as they deprive us of going deep on a subject and immersing ourselves in it. We speak on short-term vs long-term solitude and isolation, creating a life that excites you and stepping back from social groups to pick out what is most important to you.
