I am your host, Marion McRae, a 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 the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.

Our Guest for this episode is one of Australia's greats - Fast Bowler Dennis Lillee who suffered back pain in the spotlight of international sporting competition. Dennis talks openly about his back pain story, his insights, and how he is working now to re-shape the coaching of bowling technique so that younger athletes may enjoy less injuries and longevity in the sport.

We discuss -

Dennis’s tools:

  1. Physical - Pilates, core strength and technique for sports skills
  2. Mental - Believe there is a way and FIND IT
  3. Emotional - Become invested in the process of healing. Own it for yourself.

Dennis’s Top tips

  1. Lifestyle - Keep active
  2. Be proactive - look at movement patterns and techniques
  3. Give it time, it's a process. It takes effort

Dennis Keith Lillee, AM, MBE (born 18 July 1949) is a former Australian cricketer rated as the "outstanding fast bowler of his generation".Lillee was known for his fiery temperament, 'never-say-die' attitude and popularity with the fans.
During the interview it becomes obvious that Dennis's "never say die" attitude assisted him greatly with his back pain.

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 the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.

Our Guest for this episode is a humble, athletic, super intelligent Family Man - Andrew Mann. Andrew went for a mountain bike ride with mates and ended up in hospital for weeks after "head butting" a tree at full pace. His insights into traumatically acquired spinal injuries, the affects on family, and the path to recovery are well articulated. We discuss -

Andrew’s tools:

  1. Physical - Slow your Breathing to stay calm, walking, pool, gym, modify desk set up
  2. Mental - Set yourself Challenges, ask lots of questions to empower yourself and tell yourself "YOU WILL GET BETTER", set yourself a new normal
  3. Emotional - Respect the signals from your body, learn about Good Pain vs Bad Pain

Andrew’s Top 3 tips -
1. Mental Attitude - Tell yourself " It will get better" , set yourself small challenges, work with educated team members (physios, osteos, exercise physiologists, etc), eat healthy, cut alcohol.
2. Understand the Dysfunction in your Spine - ask questions
3. DON'T STOP moving (even from bed if you have to) - Walking
