You’ll learn: • How to tell if you need to recover or offload • Why pain builds up even when you're “doing everything right” • How burnout, stress, and lifestyle contribute to flare ups • Why movement, creativity, and expression are essential for healing • How to reconnect to your body and calm your system This is one of the most important reframes I teach inside my Back Pain Back to Exercise program and one that’s helped hundreds regain confidence in their body and life.

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.
