Most people think low back pain means something is wrong with their back. It's usually the hips — and the fix often starts on your living room floor.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, JD to discuss:Why 100% of the people who fly across the country to get a consult for stubborn low back pain are missing hip extension, and how to test yours with the couch stretchThe "injury vs. incident" framework that tells you when pain needs a doctor and when you can manage it yourselfHow 20–30 minutes of floor sitting each evening restores the range of motion you thought you'd lost to ageWhy mobility is the missing third leg of the longevity triangle that roughly 90% of people skipBy the end, you'll have a simple, no-equipment way to move without pain and keep the strength and mobility that let you do what you love as you age.Want ad-free episodes?

Not only is Rachel's story CRAZY inspirational, the magic that accompanies our knowing one another and the synergy of how it unfolded is uncommon and moving. I can't wait to share this one with you! Note: we had some unforeseen technical issues in the last 5 minutes of our talk, so please forgive the audio glitch. It doesn't take away 1% from the power of this tale of recovery. Special thanks to Oliver Sachs for coming through with a genius audio edit. Gotta love having a son at NYU studying music technology.  Through postpartum depression, panic attacks, back and hip pain, Rachel fought her way through and out as only our sweet "Fight Song" warrior could, and her description of the lowest lows and the revelation of recovery will motivate you to carry forth through your own.

Summary Dr. Tom Walters, a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist and the founder of Rehab Science, returns to talk through two of the most common complaints after 40: knee pain and back pain. We get into why rest alone rarely fixes either one, how cartilage actually gets its nutrients through movement, and how to tell a tendon problem from something deeper in the joint. Tom explains load management, the real reason most aches show up without a specific injury, walks through the red flags that mean you should see someone for back pain, and covers how stress and sleep feed into chronic pain. He also shares his three tactics for staying well: social support, exercise, and sleep.

This conversation begins with back pain that started during pregnancy and continued long after the birth.As we explore what has been happening physically, a deeper experience begins to emerge: the weight of motherhood, the loss of freedom, the discomfort of depending on others and the pressure to keep carrying on without complaint.We look at the relationship between physical tension and the thoughts of frustration, control and self-judgement that can run quietly throughout the day. We also explore what becomes possible when we step back from those thoughts, find the centre beneath the competing demands and allow ourselves to receive more support.A conversation about motherhood, vulnerability, flexibility and the weight we carry, both physically and emotionally.To explore more moments of insight like this you can find me on: Instagram @thehealingpoint._ YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@thehealingpointukOr my website www.traceystevens.orgInside you'll find courses, and workshops as well as the Emotional Anatomy Library - with many unpublished podcasts,  all designed to help you understand the way the mind body connection.https://www.rootcausepractice.com/And if you'd like to have a podcast conversation with me please email me info@traceystevens.org I'd be happy to connect with you.With LoveTracey xCredits: This podcast is edited by Rhiannon Walsh @AlignedElementsAcupuncture

Chiropractor and musculoskeletal clinician Dr. David Newton joins Conor to discuss what long-term recovery from low back pain really looks like. They explore why pain relief is only the beginning, why fear of movement can keep people stuck, and how rebuilding confidence often starts with movements that feel almost too easy. David explains how gradually progressing from a simple bodyweight squat can help people move without constantly triggering flare-ups, and why lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and activity all influence recovery. They also discuss why picking up a piece of laundry can sometimes trigger severe pain, even when nothing serious has changed structurally, using practical analogies that make persistent pain easier to understand. Finally, David shares how he uses AI to summarize research, build educational resources, and reduce administrative work so he can spend more time thinking critically and being fully present with patients.  Dr. David Newton @Instagram Conor on Instagram: @conorosheafit

For years, Libbi Logan planned her life around her back pain. Could she make it to her son's basketball game? Would a road trip result in days of recovery? Was playing tennis worth the pain that would follow? Like so many people living with chronic back pain, every decision became a calculation. After years of searching for answers, trying countless treatments, and being told there were few options left, Libbi eventually found a Facebook community of patients with Bertolotti's Syndrome. That search ultimately led her to spine surgeon Dr. Colin Haines at VSI, who asked her a question that changed everything: "What do you want your life to look like?" After a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced diagnostics that uncovered the true source of her pain, Dr. Haines developed a surgical plan tailored to Libbi's unique anatomy. Today, Libbi is back on the tennis court, traveling internationally, and living the life she thought she had lost. Just six months after surgery with at VSI, Libbi: ✔ Played tennis for the first time in over three years ✔ Walked over 15,000 steps a day through Paris (with zero back pain!) ✔ Flew alone, drove 10 hours, stood on a wobbling fishing boat ✔ Is showing up, fully present, for her son's senior year of high school If you've been told there's nothing more that can be done, that your imaging looks "normal," or you're still searching for answers, Libbi's story is a reminder that oftentimes the right diagnosis changes everything. VSI® specializes in diagnosing and treating complex spine conditions, including Bertolotti Syndrome and transitional anatomy. If you're still searching for answers, you don't have to stop here.

Brendan is the founder of Low Back Ability and Creator of the Long Game Approach. He is an educator and coach who has become one of the leading voices in helping people overcome chronic low back pain through progressive strength training. After years of living with debilitating back injuries, failed rehabilitation, and being told to avoid certain movements, Brendan set out to challenge conventional thinking by rebuilding his own body through carefully progressed loading, mobility, and consistency. That personal journey became the foundation of the Low Back Ability philosophy, centred on developing resilient, capable backs rather than simply managing pain.What makes Brendan's story so compelling is that his mission was born from personal adversity. As a young man, chronic pain affected every aspect of his life, forcing him to leave college, live through periods of homelessness, and battle years of physical and emotional struggles while searching for answers. Rather than accepting that pain would define his future, he immersed himself in exercise science, sought out mentors, questioned conventional rehabilitation, and eventually developed a practical, progressive system that has helped thousands of people regain confidence in their bodies.Throughout this conversation, Brendan explains that healing isn't simply about finding the perfect exercise or quick fix. Instead, he shares why rebuilding trust in your body, progressively strengthening the tissues that support the spine, and embracing what he calls the "Long Game" are the keys to lasting recovery. His compassionate approach, combined with an ability to explain complex concepts in simple, practical terms, has inspired a global community of people determined to move beyond chronic pain and return to the lives they thought they had lost.Connect with Brendan:Website: https://www.lowbackability.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowbackability/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LowBackAbilityI am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.saferthanyouarenow.comAnd you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance.  100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.

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.

What if your back pain isn't as permanent as you've been told? In this episode, Conor is joined by Trey, who battled recurring low back pain for more than 10 years before deciding enough was enough. Together, they unpack the physical and mental challenges of living with chronic pain, why previous approaches failed, and what finally started moving the needle. They explore how rebuilding strength and confidence can change the recovery process, why avoiding painful movements often makes the problem worse, and how small wins create lasting momentum. Trey also shares the biggest mindset shifts he's experienced, the activities he's returned to pain-free, and why he's more optimistic about his back than ever before.

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.

His approach to physical therapy and wellness tips is refreshingly simple and built for real people with real lives.The truth is, most chronic pain, including neck tension, tight hips, the back that never quite feels right, comes down to how little we move throughout the day. Dr. Dan makes that easy to understand and even easier to act on. This is relatable wellness that doesn't ask you to overhaul your life. It just asks you to start somewhere.Whether you've been brushing off restless leg syndrome, pushing through arthritis, or ignoring an injury that won't quit, Dr. Dan gives you a smarter take on pain management and what your body needs.

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.
