In this episode with Dr Kevin Wernli, we discuss the studies he was involved with on persistent low back pain. In particular, how a majority of peoples muscles activation and postures change from rigid and guarded to less fearful as they progress through a treatment journey. He also described the multiple things that he has noticed on a patients journey through a bout of physiotherapy.
