034 Creating A Community To Find A Solution, Featuring Joe From Backtivity

Featuring Joe from Backtivity What is Backtivity? Backtivity is focused exclusively on chronic low back pain – the number ONE cause of disability and time off work worldwide, affecting 4 out of 5 adults and 2 out of 5 pre-teens. It is second only to upper respiratory symptoms among reasons for visits to a physician. Yet, a number of studies have consistently shown that about 1 in 10 chronic back pain sufferers find complete “resolution,” briefly defined as no longer having frequent episodes of pain, no longer taking pain medication, and a return to full functioning. These millions of self-cured individuals are largely hidden from researchers and clinicians. Our approach is to start with the already validated assessment tools and exercises to measure and reduce back pain. We use these to query current and former sufferers to learn what works for them. The self-cured are, in our eyes, the true experts. We will anonymize the data and share it with the community. Click here for the podcast website Are you looking to start your podcast?
