Episode 353 of The Physical Performance Show is an Expert Edition featuring Dr Kevin Wernli, sharing Lower Back Pain: fear, posture, & movement.
Kevin Wernli recently completed his PhD looking at the relationship between posture, fear, and movement when it comes to lower back pain and chances are, yourself, or someone in your close circle is either going through an episode of back pain or has recently gone through it!
Kevin takes us through the concept of nonconscious non-protection, where people forget about their back and they get back to living.
As we very well know, everyone is different, but we all get the same 24 hours to make the most of each day. We know it can be so tough to squeeze in that training session or get the optimal amount of sleep into our busy schedule. But it does not have to be this way!
Polar are very excited to announce a solution, launching their new fitness and wellness watch the Polar Ignite 3!
If you or a loved one feel that you haven’t been able to be at your best … then it's time to start living a life more in tune with our body's natural rhythm!
