In this episode, Doc Jen and Dr. Dom dive into chronic mid back pain, explaining how mid back pain can be persistent or come and go. Unlike neck or low back pain, mid back pain lacks clear guidelines, but research shows manual therapy and exercise—two pillars of physical therapy—can help. They highlight mid back mobility exercises, discuss long-term relief, and share holistic tips for overcoming mid back pain through movement and lifestyle changes. Whether you’re seeking optimal health, managing pain, or focused on women’s health, this episode of The Optimal Body offers actionable advice rooted in physical therapy and exercise science.
