#534: Rehab Fix’s Dr. Grant Elliott on Revolutionizing Back Pain Treatment, How To Fix Sciatica and The Role of Psychology in Back Pain Recovery!
Dr. Elliott (Rehab Fix) is one of the world’s leading experts on sciatica and back pain treatment. With over 930k followers on Instagram and a YouTube channel of over 618k subscribers, his content helps those who are frustrated by outdated advice and unnecessary treatments. He stands out in the world of chiropractic care—not only as the visionary behind the #1 online low-back program but also as the advocate who challenges the notion that you need a doctor to heal your back. As a former competitive athlete, Grant's career was derailed by persistent back pain and ineffective treatment. Determined to find a better way, he turned his struggles into a mission, combining his medical expertise with innovative strategies to challenge the flawed “sick care” system. Today, his program has impacted lives across the globe, demonstrating that your spine is resilient, your body is capable, and recovery is entirely within your reach. Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show: · The notion that back pain requires medication and rest is false. · Fear of movement can lead to chronic pain and disability. · Gradual exposure to movement is essential for recovery. Perfect posture is not necessary; movement is more important. · Back pain is influenced by multiple factors, including emotional and social aspects. A holistic approach to back pain considers emotional and psychological factors. · Understanding the correlation between stress and physical pain is crucial. · Sciatica is often misunderstood as just leg pain, but it originates from the back. · Stretching a sensitive nerve can worsen sciatica symptoms. · Individualized treatment plans are essential for effective pain management. · There is no one-size-fits-all solution for sciatica; each case is unique. · Movement is vital for spinal health and pain relief. · Pain does not always indicate tissue damage; understanding this can change perceptions. · Back cracking is generally harmless and can be done if it feels good.

Ben Mudge has been coaching for 14 years and his platforms are all about making health and fitness easier. His new book Fitness Without Limits – training to break through barriers and live fearlessly is available now. This is Ben’s hat trick appearance on the podcast. Ben has Cystic Fibrosis and on top of being an inspiration for so many, I personally get so much from every conversation we have; so definitely check out previous episodes with this incredible human being if you haven’t already. Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show: · Comparison can be detrimental to personal growth and happiness. · Life experiences should take precedence over physical appearance. · Worrying is a waste of imagination and energy. · Memories are more important than physical achievements. · It's essential to break free from restrictive mindsets around food and fitness. · Perspective shifts can empower individuals to make better choices. · Coaching should focus on helping clients find their own answers. Understanding individual needs is crucial for effective coaching. · Disordered eating can normalize unhealthy behaviors. · No food should be off limits to promote a healthy relationship with food. · Mental health is foundational for overall well-being and coaching success. · Life is chaotic; we must adapt our expectations accordingly. · Food is more than just fuel; it carries emotional significance. · Coaches provide accountability and structure, but clients must empower themselves. · A problem shared is a problem halved; don't minimize your struggles.
