“It’s more about teaching your body how to find center in every movement pattern, plane of motion, on two legs and one.”
Dr Matt Zanis joins the Crew to help explain what back pain is, what it is not, and what it means about your movement. Low back pain has become such a prevalent occurrence, there must something you can do about it before it starts to control your life. This podcast will debunk myths surrounding the low back:
Why diagnostic images aren’t always helpful and how they can actually be more detrimental to your pain experience; Why bracing and “core” stability is making you weaker; How posture is not a great indicator for pain; Why manipulations and adjustments around the low back aren’t really fixing anything.
Stop living in pain, take your movement back by tuning into another episode of the premiere podcast in strength and conditioning!
