In this episode, we discuss many things related to low back pain. Much of this information is condensed from a presentation he gave at an APTA conference. We discuss whether or not the research on low back pain and exercise really says what we are often told it does; we discuss theory related to it's biomechanical origin, whether form matters, the value of the biopsychosocial model, the general buckets of diagnosis, and how to begin treatment, as well as one of his key focuses when introducing exercise to patients with low back pain, and more. Hope you enjoy!
