#198 - My Yearly Reflection 2024 - Travel, Brazil, Recovering from ACL Injury and my change in Philosophy

There are a lot of misconceptions around back pain, but I feel this must be one of the most powerful ones. Understanding plays a huge role in recovery. If you believe someone else will fix you, you will be in trouble. Therefore, clearing up any problems around what could be going on is important. In this episode we discuss why fear of back pain is a huge problem, understanding the anatomy of the disk and how it heals. We also discuss why what you've tried in the past hasn't worked. If you need help with a disk, just reach out - we're here to help. Click here to learn about my own story - My Story Music: Dean Kenny

Learn your pain pattern: Back Pain Diagnostic Quiz If your back pain keeps coming back no matter what you try, you might be treating the wrong problem. In this episode, we break down why traditional approaches like physio, scans, rest, and generic exercises often fail to create lasting change. Most people are told their pain is coming from a disc, posture, or structural issue but research shows that many people with the same findings have no pain at all. So what's really going on? You'll learn why your pain keeps flaring up, how the nervous system plays a major role in chronic back pain, and why focusing only on the body isn't enough. We also cover how to rebuild movement confidence, break the fear cycle, and start progressing again without constantly setting yourself back. If you're stuck in a loop of short-term relief, confusion, and frustration, this episode will help you understand why nothing has worked, and what to do instead. This is where real recovery starts.
