Show Notes
We all want to age well. To live strong into our 80s, 90s — maybe even 120. But there’s one thing that can quietly steal the joy from those years: pain.
Back pain. Hip pain. Glute pain. Nerve pain that makes you stiff, cautious, and afraid to move.
In Australia alone, millions are living with back problems — and for many women in peri and menopause, pain seems to arrive just as they’re trying to prioritise their health again.
And here’s what makes it more frustrating: “My scans are clear… but I still hurt.”
So what’s really going on? In this episode we sit down with Jim Bostock, founder of Nerve Locks to unpack:
Why pain can exist even when imaging shows “nothing wrong”
What “nerve locks” are (and why your body might be protecting you)
Why hips, glutes and lower backs flare in midlife
Why pushing harder at the gym can actually make things worse
How to rebuild trust in your body — safely
This conversation will change the way you think about pain. Because pain isn’t always damage. And your body isn’t broken. It may be protecting you.
If you’ve ever felt stiff, inflamed, locked up, or scared to move — this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and a practical starting point.
