The Truth About Back Pain: Myths, Movement, and Modern PT

Most people experience back pain at some point — but few truly understand what’s causing it or how to fix it for good.

In this episode of The Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberg tackles the myths and misconceptions surrounding back pain — from the outdated idea that “rest is best” to the belief that surgery or imaging are the only solutions. He breaks down what’s really happening when your back “goes out,” and why movement (done right) is almost always the answer.

You’ll learn how strengthening, mobility work, and the right physical therapy approach can not only relieve pain but also prevent it from coming back.

If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” this episode is your reminder that pain is not a life sentence — and recovery starts with the right plan and the right movement.
