Back pain has a way of making you terrified of the exact movements that would actually fix it. And at some point, a lot of people develop a complicated relationship with their back because of this.

Morgan sits down with Whitney, doctor of physical therapy, and Jess G. to talk about why back pain is so pervasive, what is actually causing it in most cases, and why avoiding the movements you are scared of is often making things worse. They get into the nervous system's role in pain perception, what the green light yellow light red light system looks like in practice, when to actually be alarmed versus when discomfort is just part of getting stronger, and what to do when a provider tells you to never do something again.

Plus a breakdown of bulging discs, how to build a strong low back, exercises to do after six hours at a computer, and why the way you talk about your body matters more than you think.

This one is dense, and it is worth every minute.
