Do you know that the highest pay-off for reducing lower back pain is … job fulfilment? Not nerve flossing, not the "5 best moves for back pain" on social media. Job satisfaction!
In this episode Marianne is joined by two-time Olympian Heba AbdelGawad, co-founder of Bodyhack, the leading fitness education company in the Middle East, and creator of the revolutionary NeuroPilates method.
Heba’s expertise in applied neuroanatomy, combined with her background as a synchronised swimmer, makes her uniquely qualified to address one of the most common challenges mothers face—lower back pain.
Marianne and Heba delve into the multifactorial aspects of lower back pain, and what pain is: An indication that our brain wants us to pay attention that may or may not mean there is damage to the tissues.
This episode will be hugely helpful for anyone interested in understanding chronic pain and anyone curious about their brain health.
