25: Aging and Pain with Marie Shinmoto

“I just look at a heavy box and my throw my back out for a week” is the common joke among older people. It seems the more the years pile on, the more the pain does. We’re told that aging guarantees discomfort and a loss of mobility. But what if this was, at least, somewhat avoidable? What if chronic pain isn’t something we should assume is inevitable?This week, physiotherapist Marie Shinmoto joins the Unboxing It Team to dissect pain and stiffness in a way that absolutely blew our minds. We learn how old injuries can stick around for years until we release them, how physical and emotional trauma manifest in the body, and how a holistic view of health can make all the difference in the world—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.You won’t want to miss Marie’s brilliant insights.
