<p><strong>Why Your Back Pain Isn't the Problem (Most of the Time)</strong></p><p>Does your back hurt when you lean backward, tumble, reach overhead, or stand for long periods?</p><p>What if your back isn't actually the problem?</p><p>In this episode, I use the movement pattern of <strong>back extension</strong> to show why pain often appears in one area while the real limitation starts somewhere else.
