This is the theory I have been hinting at. It brings together the biomechanical and biopsychosocial models of back pain and completely changes our understanding of stability. It comes out in the same week as the completely redone book the second edition of UPRISE: The Body Guitar Theory and Back Pain Liberation appears on Amazon. (On November 10th). Thank you for being here on this journey.

New episode of Spine and Body podcast. In preparation of new book, I release this episode on anatomy that will shake musculoskeletal medicine to its core. We need new understanding of stability, arthritis and how the back works together to understand how we are going to fix back pain. This is the first in a series of podcasts about The Body Guitar Theory where I introduce new concepts.

In this first episode of season 2, we go through the faulty ideas that keep people from getting better from their back pain. To move forward, we have to fix our thinking free our minds and from the thoughts and myths that hold us back.

This is the last episode of the year! As we prepare for a new season later this spring, enjoy this episode suggestion from a listener. As mentioned in the show, we are looking for residents and fellows to come and spend some time with us as we both to train the next generation in musculoskeletal care and look for new physicians to add to our team. Please reach out with show suggestions also as we want to make this show even more useful.

As we go through a discussion of stability, we set the stage for all future discussions. If we can define stability in a different way than it typically has been, then we can change the way we look at recovery. Red muscles vs. white muscles, coordination, compensation, bracing muscles, muscle tightness, fascia tightness, arthritis and motion all come to center stage.
