Do you have low back pain or know someone who does?

Odds are you do.

That's because out of all 291 conditions studied in the Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study, low back pain ranked highest in terms of disability with an estimated 9.6% of the global population affected.

In Episode 4 of the Rethink Pain Podcast, Amy Green is interviewed on how she made a full recovery from a low back injury four years ago. Amy is a yoga instructor, and even with her in depth knowledge of the human body and movement, it still took a year before she returned to full function.

Unable to teach yoga, she talks about how her mental health was affected, and what really helped her during the darkest times of her experience.

Amy found one-on-one pilates, and the support from the health professionals around her to be the most important aspects of her recovery. Her experience inspired her to help others, and now she runs the award winning Mind, Body, Movement Studio.
