In this video, I'm going to show you why that approach is failing you, and what a proper whole-body evaluation actually looks like. In this podcast you'll learn: ✅ Why your MRI findings — disc degeneration, facet arthritis, bone spurs, narrowed joint spaces — can be completely NORMAL findings on a pain-free person's scan ✅ The many different structures that can contribute to back pain: your lumbar spine, your lower thoracic spine, your hip, your sacroiliac joint, AND deep muscles like the psoas and iliacus ✅ Why core strengthening, massage, and chiropractic adjustments often fail to give lasting relief ✅ What a proper baseline evaluation looks like — and the process I've refined over 25 years and thousands of patients ✅ Why "mobility before stability" is the key principle most PTs skip ✅ What the McKenzie Method (MDT) is and why it's clinically proven to reduce surgery rates Stefani Crowley, MSPT, Dip. MDT is the owner and lead clinician at mPower Physical Therapy in Dallas, TX. With over 20 years of experience and a Diplomate credential from the McKenzie Institute International, she has spent her career finding what other clinicians miss — and fixing it.
