#197 - How To STOP Back Spasms

In this episode of the podcast we direct our focus towards back spasms. Back spasms are one of the main reasons people come to me as just the fear alone can cause us to live in a place where we feel we are unable to enjoy ourselves in life. They cause us to cancel plans, reorganise events and stop the activities we love.

And what's crazy is it is actually possible to stop them having such an impact on our lives. In this episode I tell you exactly how.
