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.
What does back pain look like through the lens of Chinese medicine?
In this episode, Maz is joined by Chinese medicine practitioner Riccardo Galleotti to explore how energetic patterns, emotions, organ health, and meridian theory all play a role in persistent back pain.
Together, they unpack the deeper wisdom of traditional Chinese approaches—looking beyond the muscles and into the energy body, discussing how grief, fear, and lifestyle can show up as physical pain… and what you can do to restore balance.
Whether you’re curious about Eastern medicine or just tired of symptom-focused solutions, this episode offers a refreshing, whole-body perspective.
