✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.If I woke up tomorrow with back pain or sciatica, and my goal was to calm the pain, stop the flare-up, and get back to normal life and exercise as fast as possible, this is exactly what I would do.In this video, I walk you step-by-step through a research-based, non-scary plan for acute back pain and sciatica flare-ups—the same framework I personally use and teach to people dealing with both new injuries and long-term chronic pain.This is not about fixing posture, correcting alignment, or chasing MRI findings. It's about calming your nervous system, reducing fear, restoring safe movement, and rebuilding confidence in your body.In this video, you'll learn: • What to do immediately when back pain or sciatica flares up • Why fight-or-flight makes pain worse (and how to shut it down fast) • Why hurt does NOT equal harm, even with disc bulges or degeneration • The best short-term pain relief options (and why none of them “fix” you) • How to figure out why the flare-up happened in the first place • Why MRI findings like disc herniations are often normal and not dangerous • How visualization and mindset affect pain recovery (without woo-woo nonsense) • When and how to safely start exercising again • Why graded exposure to real-life movement beats “perfect rehab exercises” • How to stay mentally healthy while recovering from back pain or sciaticaThis approach applies whether: • Your pain just started yesterday • You've been dealing with chronic low back pain for years • You have sciatica, disc herniations, degeneration, or stenosis • You're afraid to move because you don't want to “make it worse”I've personally lived with chronic pain for over a decade, and I've worked with people who've recovered after 10, 20, even 30+ years of back pain and sciatica. There is always a path forward...✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.#lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment

One of the most common frustrations in recovery is the belief that rehabilitation exercises are causing more pain. In this session, we dissect the difference between genuine exercise-induced aggravation and the natural daily fluctuation of symptoms. Often, pain worsens towards the evening due to the cumulative load of the day, leading patients to falsely blame their afternoon workout. We explain how to conduct a "fair evaluation" of your daily pattern to determine if your technique is truly at fault or if your spine is simply fatigued from daily life.We also issue a strong warning against "Russian Twists" for anyone with a history of back issues. This exercise combines flexion, rotation, and compression—a "perfect storm" for provoking a disc bulge or herniation . Instead, we advocate for "Correct Choreography" in spine stability exercises like the squat and hip hinge. These movements are designed to hold the spine rigid while the hips do the work. If you feel pain during these, it is likely because the spine moved when it should have remained neutral.Finally, we cover practical strategies for the holiday season and daily living. From using a rolled-up towel (the size of a Pringles tin) for lumbar support in the car to understanding why you shouldn't push for personal bests during Christmas. We also break down the "Chest Pop" cue—a vital technique to engage the lats and erectors to protect the spine during lifting .

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, recorded at MIMS Learning Live North in Liverpool in November 2025, MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon interviews three expert speakers on hot topics in primary care.Consultant ophthalmologist Miss Sajeevika Amarakoon offers practical tips on examining children and adults with eye problems. She outlines when eye problems can be managed in primary care, and lists the essential equipment GPs should have on hand, including fluorescein dye and mydriatic drops.Dr Louise Warburton, a GP with an extended role in rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine, discusses how to take a useful history in patients with back pain to identify serious pathologies. She highlights the importance of spotting osteoporotic fractures, while reminding primary care professionals that, for mechanical back pain, ‘movement is medicine'.Finally, consultant psychiatrist Dr Helen Pears highlights the health inequalities faced by patients with severe mental illness, noting that their life expectancy is 15 to 20 years lower than the general population. She provides actionable advice for GPs on helping these patients access care and managing the risks of medication interactions.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall red flag symptoms in adults and children presenting with eye problemsList the essential equipment GPs should have available to conduct a thorough eye examinationSpot red flags for serious spinal pathologyRecognise the clinical features of inflammatory back painDescribe practical measures to support patients with severe mental illness to attend appointmentsUnderstand significant interactions and side-effects of commonly-used psychotropic medications,You can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.Please note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.MIMS LearningRed eye - red flag symptomsPodcast: eye problems in primary careDiplopia - red flag symptomsDiagnosing axial spondyloarthritis in primary careAcute low back pain: initial presentation to primary careDiagnosing and managing bipolar disorder: a guide for GPsWhy people miss medical appointments and how to support themPodcast: Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham on supporting people with severe mental illnessMIMS drugs recordsFluoresceinMydriatics Hosted on Acast.

The kettlebell swing is often praised as a powerhouse exercise for posterior chain development, but for those rehabilitating a lower back injury, it can be a double-edged sword. While it is fundamentally a hip hinge, the introduction of velocity and the need to rapidly decelerate a heavy load places immense demand on the lumbar spine1111. For someone recovering from sciatica or a herniated disc, attempting this dynamic movement before mastering a slow, controlled hip hinge with significant load (ideally 75-100% of bodyweight) is often a recipe for a setback2. We explore why speed requires a higher level of competence and why sticking to controlled, static strength work is the safer path in the early stages of recovery3333.We also tackle one of the most common questions we receive: "Why is my pain worse first thing in the morning?"4. The answer lies in the accumulation of inflammation. During the night, your lack of movement allows inflammatory fluid to pool in the injured spaces of the lower back, while your tissues naturally tighten up to protect the area5555555. This creates a sensation of stiffness and pressure upon waking. We explain the mechanics of this morning "drainage" process and why gentle movement, rather than panic, is the solution to easing those early-hour symptoms6.Finally, we address the controversial advice often given to patients—that they have "no chance" of recovery without surgery7. Whether you are dealing with an L5/S1 extrusion or lingering nerve pain weeks after a microdiscectomy, the reality is that surgery removes the obstruction but does not correct the mechanical flaws that caused the injury8888. We discuss why activities like swimming or cycling do not count as rehabilitation, why relying on back support belts gives a false sense of security, and how to build genuine, long-term resilience through progressive strength training9999999.

The Prime Mover Series is back! This month, Matt and Allie talk to Zoë Luebbe, PT DPT about the movement she chose- walking through the grocery store! Timely for the busy holidays and chaotic public spaces like the grocery and retail stores, Zoë calls on her vestibular training and background to explain why this can be a very stressful task for different people. The risk of falling is very prevalent in patients having this difficulty, with dizziness and headaches adding to their issues, Zoë explains the types of degeneration that is commonly seen. She describes the muscles involved in this movement and the importance of overall coordination, strength, endurance and balance. Zoë also shares what treatment would look like for patients having trouble in any of these movements and how we can help them at Oxford PT.Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A burning leg at night, a “herniated disc” on the MRI, and years of mixed messages—sound familiar? We unpack a real client story and show how to trade fear for a plan using assessment-first coaching, language that calms the system, and progressions that actually work.We start by debunking outdated ortho beliefs that frame backs as fragile and people as broken. Then we map a simple screening process to pinpoint intolerances—flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion, or compression—and use those findings to build a zero-discomfort movement menu. You'll hear why stretching into nerve symptoms often flares sciatica-like pain, when sciatic nerve glides help, and how to reframe “pain” as “discomfort” to reduce threat and increase buy-in.From there we get practical. Learn how to coach precise planks, side planks, and bridges; when to choose TRX rows over bent-over rows; how to modify pressing with landmine variations; and why bilateral pulling beats asymmetrical loading early on. We cover bracing and drawing-in cues, pacing volume to track responses, decompression options for compression-sensitive clients, and small lifestyle levers like sleep setup, hydration, and nutrition quality. We also explain imaging context, disc reabsorption, and the power of daily low back routines that rebuild trust. Finally, we share networking tactics to team up with pro-movement physios and chiros so your client always has a path forward.If you coach people with back issues—or you're working through them yourself—you'll leave with a step-by-step framework: listen, screen, find zero-discomfort ranges, progress deliberately, and keep the wins going for life.

Training only moves forward when you know how to pivot on the days your body feels off, and smart adjustments matter more than any single heavy lift.   Dr. Andrew Fix uses a real morning in the gym to unpack a familiar question for anyone who follows a training plan: what do you do when back pain or tightness shows up right as you're trying to stay consistent with your fitness goals? He talks through judgment calls that keep progress intact without forcing painful reps or drifting into avoidance.   The message lands on a simple truth. Consistency wins. One perfect session never matches the value of showing up again tomorrow. So how do you decide when to scale or swap movements or shift the intention of the work you planned? How do you stay honest about discomfort without letting it take over the whole day?   Andrew brings a grounded mindset that supports long-term training and everyday life. The reminder sits at the core of his story. Movement still matters on the days that feel inconvenient, and the athletes who grow are the ones who adjust with purpose rather than force.   Quotes "I'm not going to avoid the movement, but I'm going to modify how I'm implementing it, and how I'm performing the workout." (04:34 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "If you're just haphazardly doing random workouts at random times on random days of the week, you're likely going to get random results.” (06:30| Dr. Andrew Fix) "The most important lever we can pull when it comes to making progress is consistency." (07:38 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "If something's bothering you, don't skip it, modify it. Listen to what your body's telling you to do and adjust accordingly." (07:58 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "Doing something is always better than doing nothing."

Neil Klompas, President and CEO of Augurex, has a mission to improve the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, with a primary focus on axial spondyloarthritis, a form of inflammatory back pain that is often misdiagnosed. The Augurex blood test SpineStat is designed to differentiate axSpA from mechanical back pain by identifying a specific biomarker present in axSpA. Currently, there is an average nine-year delay from the onset of symptoms to an accurate diagnosis of axSpA, causing irreversible spinal damage and years of using drugs and therapy with no benefit. Neil explains, "I think we're all familiar with back pain. Some of the NIH data and WHO data out there show that almost 28% of adult Americans live with chronic back pain, back pain lasting more than three months. It can be a real journey to figure out what the drivers are, with some patients really never getting resolution, resulting in pain management and, in some cases, even opioid pain management. But if you dive deeper into that category of back pain, there are really two broad classifications we can think about. We can think about mechanical back pain, which is due to lifting, twisting, sports injury, or maybe a car accident. But then there's this whole other category, as you indicated, called inflammatory back pain, which really has its roots in autoimmune, where the body's immune system is actually attacking itself. "   "Well, this is when the body's immune system attacks its peripheral joints. In inflammatory back pain, or as you said, axial spondyloarthritis, it's an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system actually attacks the spine. This can lead to pain increasing over time, new bone growth, fusion of the spinal cord, and permanent stiffness and loss of mobility. It's progressive. It keeps getting worse, and because it's an autoimmune condition. Simply stretching or swearing to take up yoga or getting a new pair of runners or doing PT or massage, while it might help with some of the symptoms, it's not going to slow down or stop the disease. The challenge with axSpA, with axial spondyloarthritis, is that while it's not really that well known or talked about in the media, it's actually more than twice as prevalent as rheumatoid arthritis, a condition which many people have heard about." #Augurex #AdvancedDiagnostics #AutoimmuneDiseases #axSpA #AxialSpondyloarthritis #BackPain augurex.com Listen to the podcast here

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Stuart M. McGill, distinguished professor, emeritus of Spine Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. With over 40 years of research and 245+ peer-reviewed publications, he has helped everyone from Olympic athletes to everyday people overcome back pain. Vikas & Dr. McGill discussed in detail about spine biomechanics, how the body works as an elastic system for running, why most runners don't need heavy deadlifts, and practical strategies to build a resilient, pain-free back.Here are some key takeaways:Distance runners are elastic athletes, not strength athletes - Great runners store and recover energy through tuned stiffness in their fascia and tendons, not by building maximum muscle strength. Deadlifts may actually hurt your running performance.Core endurance matters more than core strength - Maintaining good form throughout a marathon requires core endurance to prevent energy leaks, not maximal strength. Train your core.Sitting is damaging your back and your running - Eight hours sitting at a desk, builds cumulative damage that can't be undone by hard training at night. Take frequent micro-breaks at home or in office, to maintain back health.Barefoot running teaches optimal mechanics - Running without shoes forces you to find the sweet spot between absorbing shock and preserving elastic energy. Too much cushioning makes you slower and loads your tendons more.Sciatica can often be resolved without surgery - Most sciatica cases respond to understanding the pain mechanism and following proper movement patterns. Surgery should be considered only after conservative approaches have been thoroughly tried.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Hello and welcome to today's conversation with Andrew McCauley, a clinical specialist physiotherapist in lower limb/strength & conditioning, from Ireland and now based in the UKIn today's conversation, we talk about Andrew's journey as a physio, a coach and an educator, teaching therapists how to communicate effectively, especially around integrating strength and conditioning principles into rehab (and why I think he's a covert pelvic physio...)We talked about the importance of being a good communicator, especially when working with people in pain, building trust and creating a safe space, for discussing sensitive topics such as pelvic health.We also explored the principles of strength and conditioning, focusing on the importance of understanding concepts like stability and progressive overload. Andrew talked about how easy it can be for us to overlook the basics, but how we can effectively conduct strength training exercises without equipment, highlighting the need for effort and proper rest (we also discussed how we can intersect the worlds of pelvic health and strength training)We discussed exercise prescription strategies, how to adapt exercises based on patient characteristics and goals and how to get really good at asking better questions...as well as Therapist Anxiety Syndrome (you'll have to listen to find out more!)Andrew is all about empowering patients through clear goal setting and enhancing physio education and practice - I'm excited to be a student on Andrew's upcoming course, integrating coaching principles with strength and conditioning principles. His course in Ireland will be in beautiful Sligo but he teaches all over the UK as well - all the details on his instagram @procaresportsWant to learn more about helping women at every age and stage?

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Grant Elliott, chiropractor and founder of Rehab Fix, to break down the truth about back pain, disc herniation, and sciatica.Grant shares his personal journey of losing a promising athletic career to back pain and how it pushed him to become a movement-based chiropractor. We discuss why 80% of people will experience back pain in their lifetime, why the spine is not fragile, and what the latest evidence reveals about disc healing, recovery, and prevention.This conversation cuts through the myths and fear-based narratives that often lead patients to unnecessary surgery. Instead, Grant explains how movement, proper assessment, and addressing mental and emotional health are key to long-term recovery.Key Takeaways-- 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their life.-- The spine is strong, adaptable, and designed to move — not fragile.-- 97% of disc herniations heal without surgery when treated properly.-- Good assessments should focus on history + movement analysis, not just imaging.-- Movement-based solutions are more effective than passive care.-- Posture is not the root cause of pain — variety and movement matter more.-- Emotional and mental health significantly influence pain and recovery.-- Preventive mobility, exercise, and awareness can reduce long-term back problems.DERRICKTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@drderrickInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/derrickbhines/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrDerrickGRANTWebsite: www.therehabfix.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/rehabfix/followers/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@rehabfix

The Silent Source of Back Pain No One Talks About with Mark Thiesmeyer Hook In this episode of Weight Loss for Women Over 40, host Nikki T welcomes a very special guest...Mark Thiesmeyer Hook , an exercise physiologist, registered dietitian, and founder of Align Athlete.

Nikki also brings her background as a physical therapist assistant and former professional ballet dancer into the conversation, explaining how posture, daily sitting habits, and alignment all play a huge role in how your body feels...and functions...after 40. If you've ever sneezed and thrown your back out, or if you're tired of living with that “background hum” of pain, this episode is for you. Learn simple, practical ways to move better, reduce pain, and take ownership of your body...without endless meds or doctor visits.

Hey friend — here's the messy little episode: you're living in a one-bedroom with a partner who does construction and gets terrible back pain, and your seven-month pregnant sister shows up after a big fight with her husband asking to crash and sleep in your bed. Your boyfriend said he couldn't give it up, you apologized to avoid a fight, and later you found your sister crying in the bathroom. Cue Mom calling and being furious. Ugh.   I totally see both sides: your sister is emotional, pregnant, and needed space, and that's precious, but your partner's need for real sleep because of his physical job is also a legit, health-related boundary. This isn't just about feelings — it's about a shared home and agreed-upon boundaries, plus the practical reality of one real bed and a couch that's not ideal every night.   If it were me, I'd start by asking how serious the fight was — if your sister left because she felt unsafe, give her the bed and your full support. If it was a heated argument and she just needed space, a one-night compromise (you on the couch, sister and partner in bed) or a clear, empathetic conversation about limits is reasonable. Neither kindness nor boundaries have to cancel each other out.

Back pain is one of the most common health issues worldwide yet it's still surrounded by confusion, fear, and myths. In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Ghosh, Consultant Spinal Neurosurgeon, educator and founder of Spine MDT Clinic to separate fact from fiction and give you a practical toolkit for a healthier spine.What I love about Anthony's approach is that he created SpineMDT, a modern, multidisciplinary spine care service, that works alongside physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractitioners to deliver holistic care to his patients, many of whom he believes would NOT benefit from spinal surgery.We cover:
