Your Back Pain Isn't Coming From Your Back — Here's Where It's Actually Starting

You have stretched it. Iced it. Rested it. Strengthened it. And it keeps coming back. The reason most back pain becomes chronic is not because the back itself is broken — it is because the source of the problem is somewhere else entirely and nobody has looked there yet. Tonya Juge is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in exactly that diagnostic gap — the posture patterns, breathing habits, and movement compensations that quietly build tension in your back long before the pain announces itself. What she shares about where back pain actually originates and the common mistakes that keep people stuck in the treatment cycle will make you rethink every approach you have tried so far. The back is where you feel it. This episode finds where it starts.
