This podcast aims to empower listeners with HOPE that healing is possible when you know how. We discuss strategic tools addressing mindset, movement & emotional health.

I am your host, Marion McRae, physiotherapist & movement addict on a mission to see the existing model of treating back pain evolve. The current model is broken. It focusses almost entirely on the physical body, neglecting the fact that we are all both thinkers and feelers. When the thoughts in our head, and the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.

In this episode, Meera shares her transformative journey of overcoming chronic back pain through mental and emotional strategies, highlighting the impact on physical health. She discusses her struggle since a fall at 12, leading to a life-changing experience that altered her perception of pain. She explores Ascension and surrender as paths to living harmoniously with pain, emphasizing its role in personal growth.

Meera's Top tips -

1. Put less effort into movement: This reduces effort and can lead to more flexibility and relaxation.
2. Observe the body without agenda: By closing your eyes and purely observing your body sensations without judgment or a healing agenda, you can initiate healing. This practice can soothe pain and highlight areas of resistance.
3. Recognize the pain story: Noticing the thoughts surrounding your pain helps in becoming more aware of the dialogue about your pain. By becoming conscious of these thoughts, the suffering, which is an unconscious process, begins to diminish.

I am your host, Marion McRae, physiotherapist & movement addict on a mission to see the existing model of treating back pain evolve. The current model is broken. It focusses almost entirely on the physical body, neglecting the fact that we are all both thinkers and feelers. When the thoughts in our head, and the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.

In this Podcast I interview Paul Buckey, the founder of an organisation that teaches a healing method called BioTouch. Paul shares how he discovered BioTouch through a very cool guy called "Norman" and its impact on back pain sufferers. The conversation delves into the simplicity and effectiveness of BioTouch, the importance of self-awareness in healing, and empowering individuals to take control of their own well-being. The script highlights the healing potential of human touch, the value of caregiver involvement in healing processes, and the significance of simplicity in healing modalities.

Paul's Top tips -

1. Do the bio Touch Greeting and finger sweeping as outlined in the book below
2. Visit the Website below for more information
3. Just TRY IT ! So Simple - Everything to gain, nothing to lose

Mike Sententia, the founder and lead healer at Healing Lab, brings a unique approach to chronic pain management through energy healing, as discussed in a podcast. With a background in energy healing since 1991 and authorship of notable works like "Arthritis: Natural Health and Prevention" and the forthcoming "Transforming Pain: The Emerging Science of Energy Healing for Pain Management," Mike aims to blend energy healing with mainstream medicine, advocating for insurance coverage. His Healing Lab distinguishes itself with a money-back guarantee, underscoring the evidence-based methods behind its practices. In the podcast, Mike delves into how energy healing impacts cellular functions, offers personalized adjustments for various tissues, and utilizes innovative methods like remote sessions with metal cards. He stresses the importance of evidence-based validation, ongoing client feedback, and individualized treatment plans in achieving mainstream recognition for energy healing.

Mike's Top tips -

1. Look for practitioners who offer a money-back guarantee for their services.
2. Focus less on certifications and more on testimonials, especially video testimonials from real clients.
3. Consider trying energy medicine as it is generally safe and might offer relief without harmful side effects.

Dr. Scott Bertrand, a retired chiropractor, shares his journey of developing the All Core 360, a revolutionary rehab unit, born out of his own back pain experiences. His frustration with ineffective rehab methods led him to create a device that challenges the core's survival mechanism through reflexive, subconscious training. By tilting and rotating, the All Core engages muscles dynamically, promoting balance and correcting imbalances, leading to improved posture and reduced pain. Customizable to individual needs, it's used both in rehab and athletic performance training, proving to be a game-changer in both arenas.

Favourite Quotes -

• "The body absolutely knows how to heal itself... What a good physician does is they take that innate wisdom and then do everything you can to foster that, encourage it, help it along the path that it's doing anyway."
• "The survival mechanism of the spine and the core is to maintain that perfect posture... We don't get hurt when we're in posture. We get hurt when we're bent over and twisted."

Scott’s tools:

Scott's Top tips -

1. Evaluate Posture and Daily Habits: Dr. Bertrand emphasizes the importance of assessing one's posture and daily habits. Often, imbalances in these areas contribute to back pain. Individuals should be mindful of how they sit, stand, sleep, and move throughout the day.
2. Seek Balance: Achieving balance in all aspects of life is crucial for managing back pain. This includes not only physical balance but also balancing activities, habits, and movement patterns.
3. Develop Awareness: Dr. Bertrand stresses the need to develop awareness of h

Doug Carey, a physiotherapist with a 30-year career and fellow podcaster - chats with me about SLEEPING AND BACK PAIN: how to feel better while sleeping and how to sleep well. Obviously, there is no typical answer. There isn't a single mattress that will suit every spine, nor is there one pillow that will work for everybody. So, if you are seeking an answer, please listen to this podcast to explore some "change" ideas.

Favourite Quotes -

• Sleep System = Bed, pillow, sheets
• Sleep Postures = Body positions
• Short Sleep (of less than 6 hours) your body is missing out on the natural repair system, increases the risk of musculoskeletal pain.
• Bizarre Bedroom Sleep behaviours - dogs, kids, cats, !
• Sidelying 70% average position - make it supportive, not provocative
• Habits slide after a while, be aware they will, and plan for that
• Physiological "creep" and how it works
• Quality sleep has a positive impact on many systems

Doug’s tools:

1. Quality Sleep

Doug's Top tips -

1. Do the sleep posture challenge
2. Acknowledge and put strategies in place to Manage Stress and Anxiety
3. Strength and Conditioning
