đď¸When we treat our clientâs âproblems,â are we really helping them? Or, would a more fundamental reframe yield better results? How do we help our clients (and ourselves) shift the usual viewpoints about pain, injury, and recovery? Whitney and Til catch up with physiotherapist and chiropractor Greg Lehman about the evolution of his influential âReconciling Biomechanics with Pain Scienceâ course, and his thinking on specifics like SI Joint pain, âflat arches,â and more. đđŁď¸đĽđ
