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.
My guest for this episode is Plumber & Movement Coach called Neil Maddison, who teaches Foundation Training - We discuss the origins on Foundation training and what it is all about and how it helps those with back pain find strength and mobility.
Favourite Quotes -

  • Pain is inevitable, Suffering is Optional
  • Pain is the body's messenger - something has to change
  • Pain is protection - without it, we would possibly do more damage
  • Time under Tension develops the musculature that can help unload the joints
  • Many roads to the same destination
  • Rest like an animal
  • The anticipation of pain can be half the energy drain
  • The rust analogy on the car

  1. Foundation Training Website
  2. Short Snippet of the movement practice

Neil's Top tips -

  1. Get Help to Move with Quality
  2. Get overall Strong - Bulletproof Body VS Bulletproof Backs

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.

When the thoughts in our head, and the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.
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
