Even when the source of pain seems obvious, it might not be.

When figuring out the physical reasons for pain in the body, it’s easy to fall into the trap of viewing the affected body part separately from the rest. But sometimes, the source can be quite far away – an injured foot, ankle, or even toe can lead to issues with the hips, lower back, and all the way up to the neck and head. And that one is simpler to figure out.

In this second conversation with Erica Meloe, a board-certified physiotherapist and author of the book Why Do I Hurt?, we talk about the sources of pain, ways we can discover them, and way to treat them so they don’t return.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why the traditional approach to physical recovery is often not enough for great recovery.
  • How to find the root cause of pain – many times not what you think it is.
  • What to do to avoid compensation so that you don’t experience other physical problems after your injury.
  • How different emotions are connected to different body parts and how this affects your healing.
