14 FEB 2019 · Do you have low back pain or know someone who does? Odds are you do. That's because out of all 291 conditions studied in the Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study, low back pain ranked highest in terms of disability with an estimated 9.6% of the global population affected. In Episode 4 of the Rethink Pain Podcast, Amy Green is interviewed on how she made a full recovery from a low back injury four years ago. Amy is a yoga instructor, and even with her in depth knowledge of the human body and movement, it still took a year before she returned to full function. Unable to teach yoga, she talks about how her mental health was affected, and what really helped her during the darkest times of her experience. Amy found one-on-one pilates, and the support from the health professionals around her to be the most important aspects of her recovery. Her experience inspired her to help others, and now she runs the award winning Mind, Body, Movement Studio.

18 JAN 2019 · In this episode I have guest host and good friend John Morin interview me! Every second episode I will have people on who have overcome, improved or done something to embrace their experience of pain and used it to change their life. John has his own podcast called Pilgrim-ish where he talks about travelling adventurously, connecting meaningfully, and living intentionally. What you are about to hear is the perfect combination of both of our philosophies. We discuss my background, how the Rethink Pain Workshop was created, success stories from the workshop and how it doesn't work sometimes, and my personal experience of travelling when feeling pain. We finish off with one of my favourite techniques from James Hazlerig, laughnosis!
