In this episode, Dipti shares her personal back pain journey — not as a physical therapist, but as a woman who lived with back pain for over 14 years. From never experiencing pain early in life, to navigating pregnancy, motherhood, physical demands, and repeated flare-ups, this story explores how pain slowly became part of daily life. Dipti opens up about fear, vulnerability, and the moment her understanding of pain began to change. This episode is about connection, compassion, and seeing back pain through a different lens.

1. You can live with pain for years without understanding what’s really driving it.
2. Pain is not just physical — fear and protection play a powerful role.
3. Understanding your pain can be the first step toward real change and healing.
