Show Notes
In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Chris Neason and Claire Samanna to discuss their recently published randomised controlled trial exploring running as a treatment for chronic low back pain.
Chronic low back pain is widely believed to be one of the biggest contributors to years lived with disability. As such, it is a problem that needs attention, and part of this is identifying effective treatments. Typically, exercise is a recommended and effective treatment for persistent low back pain, and this can include resistance exercise, pilates, yoga and many other movement based approaches. But what about good old fashioned jogging, could this work? Listen to find out!
Don't miss this wonderful episode with Chris Neason and Claire Samanna.

The supraspinatus is one of the most misunderstood muscles in the human body. This episode aims to correct that.
A peanut isn't dangerous until it meets someone who can't tolerate it. Same with the upright row exercise. This episode scrutinises the "worst exercise for your shoulder" claim by tracing it back to a theory that's already dead, then shows what determines outcome: the person lifting. Shock. Horror.
