What if biomechanics isn’t the reason your patients improve?

And what if your best “tool” isn’t a tool at all?

In this episode, I sit down with exercise physiologist Samuel Bulten to unpack the identity shift many clinicians face when persistent pain doesn’t respond to traditional care.

We discuss:

• Why biomechanics has a weaker link to pain than we were taught
• The ego trap of being the “fixer” in the room
• How ACT and psychologically informed care change clinical conversations
• The tension between objective measures and meaningful life change
• Why therapeutic alliance may matter more than your technique
• How rural practice highlights the limits of biomedical narratives

If you’ve ever felt unsettled leaving school confident—only to feel lost with persistent pain cases—this conversation will help you recalibrate.
