But research suggests that core endurance—not maximum strength—is much more closely associated with spinal health and low back pain prevention.Today I'm testing my own core using the Side Plank Endurance Test, Trunk Flexor Endurance Test, and Lumbar Extensor Endurance Test to see if I meet the standards associated with a healthy spine. Along the way, I'll explain exactly what each test measures, why it matters, how to interpret your results, and what the research says about back pain.If you're dealing with low back pain, disc herniation, sciatica, spinal instability, weak core muscles, or chronic stiffness, this video will help you better understand whether core endurance is something you should actually be training.What You'll Learn✅ The 3 most researched core endurance tests✅ Side Plank Endurance Test explained✅ Trunk Flexor Endurance Test explained✅ Lumbar Extensor Endurance Test explained✅ Normal endurance scores for healthy adults✅ The endurance ratios associated with spinal health

Many of the physical changes that come with pregnancy can put stress on your back and lead to pain or discomfort. Back pain during pregnancy is almost always lower back pain, and it falls into one of three categories: lumbar spine pain, posterior pelvic pain, or a combination of the two. It is incredibly common, and the likelihood only goes up as your pregnancy progresses. Still, common does not mean you have to suffer through it. This episode breaks down why back pain happens during pregnancy, how to prevent it, and the evidence-based tools and treatments that can bring you relief, from simple daily habits to hands-on therapies and medication considerations.

Hello & Welcome! I'm so excited to share this discussion with a leader in the field of sports medicine, who brings her personal experience as a high performance athlete, her vast clinical experience and her research insights to today's conversation. I'm talking about Dr Fiona Wilson,who as well as all of the above is also a Deputy Editor of the BJSM; the highest ranking sports and exercise medicine journal globally. She is also a professor of physiotherapy in Trinity College Dublin, as well as Deputy Editor of the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, leading their Injury Prevention subsection, and she is on the editorial board of the Journal of Sport Sciences and the German Journal of Sports Medicine.Her research focus is the role of sport and exercise on low back pain (LBP) and on brain health, and she's published many clinical practice papers that are changing how we manage back pain in athletes, as well as a growing interest in menstrual pain in athletes (she was a coauthor on the Harrison 2026 paper that I discussed in a recent episode on menstrual pain, as well as a co-author on Dr Ciara Everard's paper on menstrual health (check out episode 113 where I chatted with Ciara about that paper)In today's episode, Fiona shared her personal journey from becoming an elite rower to transitioning into sports medicine research, including her experience with a career-ending back injury that motivated her to study athlete-specific approaches to back pain management. Our conversation focused on how athletes' back pain differs from general population back pain due to the unique nature of using their bodies as tools for performance, and the importance of keeping athletes' voices centered in research rather than relying solely on average population data. We discussed the specific challenges female athletes face with menstrual pain and pelvic health issues, highlighting gaps in knowledge and the need for better support systems. Fiona emphasised the importance of precision rehabilitation approaches that consider multiple factors including biomechanics, systemic inflammation, and the athlete's individual circumstances rather than using generic interventions like static exercises (planks - we are talking to you!)Our conversation also covered the stigma surrounding menstrual health in sports and the need for athletes to lead conversations about normalising these issues, with Fiona noting that better support could help retain female athletes who might otherwise drop out of sports during their periods.Some of Fiona's publications that we talked about today include:Whittaker JL, Schulz JM, Galarneau JM, Moore IS, Ackerman KE, Butler M, Dane K, Dubé MO, Ferraz Pazzinatto M, Gomez CD, Hayden KA, Marmura H, Mizuta R, Mosler AB, Schneider G, Schneider KJ, Sharma S, Trease L, Wilson F, Thornton JS, Crossley KM, Emery CA., Prevention strategies and modifiable risk factors for spine, chest, abdominal and/or pelvic injury and pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis for the Female, woman and/or girl Athlete Injury pRevention (FAIR) consensus., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2025"The pain isn't the hardest challenge...it's the frustration at how much it affects my day-to-day life, my mental health and my ability to train”: a qualitative thematic analysis of elite athletes' lived experiences of persisting low back pain'' Trease et al 2026'“I'm breaking my back for this sport and they're not supporting me” Trease et al 2024Fiona is an absolute legend in the world of sports medicine - for good reason, I'm sure you'll agree after listening to this episode!Want to learn more about supporting female athletes?

Training through back pain does not mean forcing your old numbers or pretending nothing hurts. In this Beast Over Burden episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss Niki's long process of training through and around back pain. Niki shares how her mindset shifted from trying to get back to heavy barbell lifting as fast as possible to focusing on training consistently, building muscle, and finding movements that felt productive. That shift changed everything. Instead of measuring progress only by old PRs, Niki learned to use more exercises, modify movements, manage recovery, and train hard without constantly aggravating her back. Niki and Andrew also talk about the role of machines, belt squats, leg presses, controlled training, recovery, travel, jiu-jitsu, and patience during a long injury process. This episode is a realistic conversation about pain, progress, training identity, and learning how to keep going when your body does not cooperate the way you want.

Hello & Welcome to today's episode, where I'm delighted to welcome my friend & colleague Hannah Poulton back to the podcast, to continue our discussion about all things scar assessment and treatmentThis was a very comprehensive discussion about scar assessment and management, and we discussed the effects that scars can have on both physical and mental health. Hannah, who owns HLP Therapy in Leicester and is pursuing a part-time PhD at Loughborough University examining C-section scarring, detailed the key components of effective scar assessment including asking the right questions, identifying the patient's primary problem (P1), using validated outcome measures like POSAS and SCAR-Q, and taking proper photographs. We discussed the high C-section rates (40-45% in some areas reaching up to 70%) and how women are often not adequately informed about post-surgical care and scar management. Hannah shared her approach to prehabilitation for C-section patients, including hydration, nutrition, and preparation strategies, while emphasizing the importance of proper assessment rather than routine compression garment use. The conversation covered Hannah's upcoming international work, including free webinars and a course at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, as well as the launch of her Scar Therapy Network platform and upcoming appearances at the Therapy Show and SCAR Symposium.

Things got a little squirely over here and I had a hard time finding a job. Well I finally found one and I was finally able to have a sesh.A lot has happened in the past month and after adjusting to split shifts and standing in one place for 10 hrs a day I finally have a few things worth talking about. Had a solid conversation with my dad about his back pain and how to manage it, also that he might want to consider surgery as his issue is not just muscle related as his doctors assessment mentioned.So this sesh is all about the new job, the things I didn't expect, clearing the air about how THC and CBD help back pain together and how weird the world of manufacturing is.Hope you enjoy the Sesh.

A few weeks ago, Kevin hurt his back during a strength session. Like many runners, his first instinct was to figure it out on his own. He stretched, modified his training, waited for it to improve, and hoped time would take care of it. Instead, everyday activities became painful, and even short runs felt nearly impossible. But after finally asking for help, everything changed. Within days he was running again, within two weeks he was essentially pain-free, and less than three weeks later he completed a 14-mile run.In this episode, Angie pulls back the curtain on exactly what they did—and why it worked. This isn't a "magic exercise" episode or a one-size-fits-all back pain solution. Instead, it's a conversation about how the body compensates, why pain isn't always a direct measure of damage, and how restoring movement, retraining your nervous system, and progressing gradually can dramatically change the recovery process.Whether you've dealt with back pain, nagging injuries, or simply want to move and train more efficiently, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. You'll walk away with a better understanding of how your body adapts, why more isn't always better, and how the right approach can help you get back to doing what you love—without fear.00:00 Kevin's Back Pain Story04:03 Running Timeline After Injury07:19 What Actually Got Injured10:07 SI Joint Explained13:56 Psoas and Pelvic Tilt16:30 Squat Mechanics Breakdown19:23 Pain Neuroscience and Perception26:58 Fear Avoidance Trap30:51 Treatment Plan Disclaimer32:14 Principle One Mobility35:08 Thoracic Spine Fixes39:25 Breathing and Slow Rehab42:05 Thoracic Extension Work42:56 Foam Roller Frustration43:50 Hip Rotation Basics46:39 90 90 Breakthrough50:41 Psoas Release Safety54:41 Motor Reprogramming01:01:56 Neutral Spine Training01:08:02 Fixing the Squat01:09:35 Edge of Pain Method01:14:19 Return to Running PlanGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Have you been told to strengthen your core to fix your back pain, yet despite doing countless planks, crunches, and core workouts, your discomfort keeps returning?You're not alone.In this episode of the Somatic Movement & Mindset Podcast, Heidi Hadley explores a hidden reason why traditional core exercises may not be delivering the results you expected.While core strength has become one of the most common recommendations for back pain, many people are unknowingly developing chronic muscular bracing and co-contraction—a state where muscles remain excessively contracted, limiting mobility, reducing shock absorbency, and increasing tension throughout the body.Discover why stability and rigidity are not the same thing, and how true movement health depends on your ability to both contract and release.In This Episode You'll Discover:✅ Why strengthening your core isn't always the answer to back pain✅ What co-contraction is and how it develops✅ How excessive abdominal bracing can reduce mobility and movement efficiency✅ Why chronic muscle tension increases compressive forces on the spine✅ The relationship between breathing, posture, and back pain✅ How reduced shock absorbency affects your body from head to toe✅ Why stiffness is often mistaken for stability✅ The role of the nervous system in chronic tension and recurring pain✅ Why flexibility alone isn't the solution✅ How pandiculation helps retrain the brain and release chronic muscular holding patternsUnderstanding Co-ContractionYour body is designed to move with adaptability, efficiency, and ease.However, when muscles around a joint contract simultaneously and remain partially engaged for prolonged periods, movement becomes restricted. This phenomenon, known as co-contraction, is often driven by stress, injury, fear of movement, repetitive habits, or well-intentioned advice to constantly "engage your core."Over time, this can lead to: Increased muscle fatigue  Reduced mobility  Restricted breathing  Increased spinal compression  Poor shock absorption  Persistent pain and stiffness The result? A body that feels tight, guarded, and less capable of moving naturally.Why More Tension Isn't More StabilityMany people associate a strong core with a healthy back.But true stability comes from adaptability—not rigidity.A healthy neuromuscular system allows muscles to contract when needed and release when they're not.When muscles remain switched on unnecessarily, the nervous system loses efficiency, movement becomes less fluid, and pain often persists.A Different Approach: PandiculationPandiculation is a natural process that works directly with the brain and nervous system to help restore voluntary control of muscles.Rather than forcing muscles to lengthen temporarily, pandiculation helps reset chronic tension patterns by improving communication between the brain and body.This can help: Reduce chronic muscle tension  Improve mobility  Enhance posture  Support better breathing mechanics  Improve shock absorbency  Create more efficient movement patterns  Reduce recurring pain and discomfort Key TakeawayThe goal isn't simply to build a stronger core.The goal is to create a body that can respond appropriately to the demands placed upon it—contracting when necessary and releasing when possible.When we learn to reduce unnecessary muscular bracing and improve nervous system regulation, we create the conditions for more comfortable, efficient movement.Ready to Learn More?Inside the Total Somatics Membership, you'll find an extensive library of guided Clinical Somatic Movement lessons, pandiculation practices, nervous system regulation techniques, mindfulness sessions, and educational resources designed to help you:✨ Reduce chronic pain ✨ Improve posture and mobility ✨ Release persistent muscle tension ✨ Enhance body awareness ✨ Move with greater comfort and confidenceJoin a supportive global community of members from over 45 countries and discover a smarter way to care for your body.

Strength training in your 40s often starts with limitations—nagging injuries, inconsistent training, and the feeling that your best years are behind you. But what if this is actually the decade where you build your strongest, most resilient body? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims talks with Barbell Logic client Dalton Stanage about his journey from chronic back pain to deadlifting over 465 pounds in his mid-40s. After years of throwing his back out doing everyday tasks, Dalton was hesitant to even attempt a deadlift. But through consistent, coached strength training, he not only fixed his back issues—he became stronger than ever. The conversation explores what strength training in your 40s really looks like. It's not about chasing your twenties or relying on perfect conditions. It's about building consistency, trusting the process, and making steady progress over time. Dalton shares how showing up week after week—regardless of how he felt—led to dramatic improvements in both strength and overall quality of life. They also discuss how priorities shift in your 40s. Training becomes less about short-term goals and more about long-term capability—being strong for your kids, your grandkids, and the demands of everyday life. Dalton, a father of eight and a grandfather, explains how strength training allows him to stay active, engaged, and present with his family. The episode also dives into the role of nutrition, recovery, and discipline. As Dalton shifts toward improving body composition, he shares how tracking food, prioritizing protein, improving sleep, and reducing alcohol have all played a key role in his continued progress. These lifestyle changes are essential for anyone looking to get stronger and leaner in their 40s and beyond. Finally, the conversation highlights the value of coaching. Instead of trying to figure everything out alone, having a coach provides structure, accountability, and a clear path forward—helping you avoid mistakes and accelerate results. Strength training in your 40s is not about decline—it's about building a foundation for the decades ahead. Whether your goal is to eliminate pain, gain strength, or become the "jacked grandpa," this episode shows what's possible with the right approach. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to get strong, this episode will change your perspective—and give you a clear path forward.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doctor Dom shares her personal experience of sustaining a minor back injury and developing sciatic pain while deadlifting. She and Doc Jen discuss how even fitness professionals aren't immune to pain and injury, emphasizing that stress, poor sleep, and rushing through movements increase the risk of experiencing issues like sciatic pain. They debunk the myth that deadlifts are inherently dangerous and clarify that disc bulges are common even in pain-free individuals, and not always linked to sciatic pain. Doctor Dom outlines her recovery approach, including breathing, relaxation, and gentle progressive movement. The key message: pain, including sciatic pain, isn't always a sign of serious damage, and mindful movement is essential for recovery.

If you have back pain, you are not alone. According to Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute, nearly 65 million Americans report a recent episode of back pain, and 16 million adults — 8 percent of all adults — experience persistent or chronic back pain and are limited in everyday activities. Dr. Marcus Mazur at Pacific Neuroscience Institute sees people living with back pain and works to find a solution, whether that's through surgery or through some of the many other available options, including medication, physical therapy, chiropractors and, interestingly, exercises in a swimming pool. In today's episode, Dr. Mazur discusses all the options, when surgery can help, and things you can do to prevent back pain from affecting you in the first place.

While helpful, this is a limiting understanding of functional upper body movement.

If you've tried chiropractic, physical therapy, stretching, rest, or random exercises and your back pain still keeps coming back, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Dr. Ar'neka breaks down the three things she checks every single time someone walks into the office with low back pain and most of the time, no one has ever looked at them. Instead of chasing symptoms, this episode focuses on the movement patterns and support systems that are actually driving recurring pain.You'll learn why hip mobility matters more than stretching your back, how poor core control and over bracing can overload your spine, and why the way you move every day matters just as much as strength or flexibility. Dr. Ar'neka also explains why many moms continue to have pain even after trying multiple providers because nobody checked how their body was actually functioning together. The key takeaway is simple: your back pain is not random and you are not broken. If no one has looked at your hips, your core control, and your movement patterns, your back pain has not truly been assessed.

Send us Fan MailDid you know that back and knee pain are very common post partum?Back in 2023 I recieved an email from a listener and that's what this week's show is all about;"I recently joined your program after reading your article about the connection between Diastasis Recti and lower back pain. After a few days of your workouts, I'm already feeling a difference. Your explanation of core breathing was a breakthrough for me.   I'm currently 10 months postpartum and had an elective c-section back in October. I've been experiencing significant lower back soreness, particularly at night and in the morning. It's uncomfortable to turn over in bed and stand up especially getting out of bed in the morning - it feels like things are compressing downwards when I do. Glute bridges are also painful, requiring about 10 minutes of mobilisation before I can fully perform them. Although my suspected annual tear from January has improved, I still feel twinges during glute bridges, which I suspect are related to the lower back pain due to Diastasis Recti. Additionally, I've been having a sharp pain in my left knee during reverse lunges, while my right knee is fine. I also have a painful coccyx which seems to only hurt when I stand from a sitted position. Despite all this, I'm determined to get stronger. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have. "So I'm going over everything; Why the corebreath makes such a difference.Lower back-pain and the feeling of it compressing downwards,Why she needs soo much mobilisation before being able to do glute bridges.Back twinges during glute bridges.The sharp knee pain when doing reverse lunges.And the disturbing lack of post-partum care for this woman as all of this stuff is fairly easily sorted.Here's a link to the blog about kneepain which includes the Yoga video.

Preventing Injury, Reframing Pain, and Using Physical Therapy to Avoid Unnecessary Surgery: Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, founder of Rehab Science, and author of “Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal From Injury,” an illustrated, body-region guide to common orthopedic problems and self-managed therapeutic exercises. Walters emphasizes using PT-style mobility and resistance training preventively to increase tissue capacity, manage load, and avoid overuse injuries, while warning against “no pain, no gain” and excessive volume or weight. He discusses “movement literacy,” hip and glute stabilizers, and how weakness can drive knee and back problems. Dr. Hoffman shares his own hip injury and recovery with targeted strengthening, illustrating that imaging findings often don't dictate function. Walters explains the biopsychosocial model of pain, graded exposure, the limits of RICE and ultrasound, and roles for manual therapy, taping, TENS, shockwave, acupuncture/dry needling, and PRP. They advocate prehab/rehab around surgery and note PT training and career prospects.

Step into The Other Side of Midnight, the ultimate live, late-night talk show where host Walter Sterling tackles the bizarre, the controversial, and the unfiltered.

Listen as callers try to unravel a chilling true-crime question: why is the Gilgo Beach serial killer's wife willingly sleeping in the basement room where her husband dismembered his victims? Sterling also breaks down the hilarious struggles of introverts versus extroverts, celebrating his "mistress of solitude" and the beautiful, squeaky sound of a 2:35 a.m. hotel room service cart. From stolen Walmart mobility scooters to demanding paper receipts for voting, this is the perfect, eccentric midnight sanctuary for night owls, truck drivers, and insomniacs.

Megan has such a calming, empowering way of cutting through the noise and confusion and helping you understand what your body actually needs in midlife. In this conversation, we talk about what's really happening in our muscles, joints, and bones as we age and what you can do now to support your mobility, coordination, bone health, and overall strength. We talk about weight gain, body composition, how our minds get in the way of us getting to the gym and much more!  If you want to live a long life feeling strong, capable, and independent in your body, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical insight you can start using right away. This is one I will personally be coming back to again and again, and I'm so excited to share it with you.

Miriam Lancaster is 84 years old. She was taken to Vancouver General Hospital by ambulance after waking up with severe back pain. Before a single test was run, a doctor's first words were: "I'd like to offer you MAID." She said no. She had a small fracture in her sacrum. A month later she was riding a horse up a volcano in Guatemala.The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers has publicly confirmed there is no prohibition on practitioners proactively offering MAID before assessment. This is not one doctor's mistake. This is the system working as designed.In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died by medical assistance in dying — 1 in every 20 Canadian deaths. Canada now has the second highest euthanasia rate in the world. And on March 17, 2027, Canada is scheduled to expand MAID to people whose sole qualifying condition is a mental illness.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren covers:— The complete Miriam Lancaster story in her own words— Why the data shows this is not an outlier— What Alberta's Bill 18 does — and why it matters that only one province has acted— What a veteran who has sat with people at rock bottom knows about mental illness and the word "irremediable"— The people who can't say no — and what the system owes them insteadIf you have a story about MAID being offered too early or without proper assessment, Kelsi wants to hear it.

What if the key to resolving your client's back pain isn't loosening things up — but “adding” stiffness? Dr. Stuart McGill is one of the preeminent back pain researchers in the world, and in this conversation, he makes his case — passionately and controversially — for why biomechanical factors deserve far more attention than they typically get in back pain assessment and treatment. He argues that the label “nonspecific low back pain” masks what a skilled clinician could find with a thorough enough assessment, and that too many patients with real mechanical issues are being dismissed as psychosocial cases. Not everyone in the field agrees, but his perspective is fascinating, clinically detailed, and full of provocative ideas for manual therapists. This episode originally aired as episode 97 and quickly became one of our most popular — a listener favorite we're bringing back for those who missed it and those who are ready for a second listen. ✨ Topics covered in this episode include: • Why Dr. McGill believes “nonspecific low back pain” doesn't exist — and how he argues it undermines both research validity and clinical outcomes • The problem with averaging results across non-homogeneous groups in back pain studies • How a thorough assessment can reveal specific pain pathways — and McGill's case for why a psychosocial diagnosis is too often a default when clinicians run out of ideas • Vivid clinical stories: a patient with a double pinch point, and the precise maneuver that resolved his symptoms • Why some patients need more stiffness, not less — and the “paradigm clash” this creates for manual therapists trained to mobilize and loosen • The prone instability test and other hands-on experiments for distinguishing when to stabilize versus mobilize • Dynamic video fluoroscopy of whiplash patients: the mid-range “clunk” that correlated with their symptoms • Fascial connections and trauma: how a physically traumatic event can produce bizarre-seeming symptoms that are mechanically trackable • Disc bulge mechanics demonstrated on a biofidelic model — how flexion drives nucleus posteriorly, and how traction with gentle motion can vacuum it back in • The Scannell study: why prone breathing may be just as effective as McKenzie press-ups for reducing disc bulges — without the facet joint cost • Inflammation and disc herniations: why the immune response to extruded nucleus may actually be helping, and why oral anti-inflammatories could prolong recovery • Distinguishing radiculopathy from peripheral neuropathy using creative clinical tests • Why the best manual therapists probe, feel, and adjust — and how that kinesthetic hypothesis-testing cycle is what separates good outcomes from poor ones ✨ Resources mentioned in this episode: • Dr. Stuart McGill's website and clinician directory: https://www.backfitpro.com • Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill • Low Back Disorders by Stuart McGill • Dynamic Disc Designs (spine models): https://www.dynamicdiscdesigns.com

Sickening.Jaden Ivey was thrown off the @chicagobulls today over his Christian views on LGBTQ pride events. He's reacting live on IG right now and refusing to back down from his religious convictions. @NBA wouldn't dare to do this to any other faith. Christians must stand with  @JadensIV!NBA Player Daniel Gafford was asked about his shirt that says "Faith isn't for the weak." He said it's not for the weak but he doesn't want to be waived like Jaden Ivey so he would not expand further on the meaning. The @NBA is stifling Christian speech.POWERFUL: #Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on TreVeyon Henderson's post supporting Jaden Ivey. “I love TreVeyon. He cares deeply about his faith. I want them to be able to express what they believe” “I also wanna make sure that they're educated—to be inclusive”So, in the NBA Steve Kerr can falsely accuse the government agents of murder from the podium with no fines, suspensions nothing.  But Jaden Ivey can't be pro Christian on the Chicago Bulls? Make it make senseWhen you think it can't get any worse… Canada is now trying to euthanise people for BACK PAIN. Miriam Lancaster visited the emergency room after waking up one morning with a sore back. The doctor's first suggestion. Euthanasia.
