When we experience back pain, we approach it with something that can deal with it, like medications and wearables that can help alleviate, but not necessarily address the cause itself. How do we understand what's causing it? In this episode of Dance to heal, Jenny talks to Greg Stern about how we can deal with the root cause of our back pain from following the wrong posture or a misconception of the functionalities of footwear.

About Greg Stern: Greg Stern is a passionate advocate for movement and holistic health, a journey that was ignited by his own physical challenges. In 2013, a seemingly routine ankle sprain during a football game transformed into a chronic issue, causing him four years of persistent pain. Despite consulting various rehabilitation professionals and undergoing surgery, the journey to recovery was just beginning, as compensatory movement patterns triggered unexpected hip and back pain post-operation. Faced with this struggle, Greg realized the necessity of delving deeper into understanding his body to escape the persistent pain. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Kinesiology, and a Masters in Physical Therapy from McGill University, Greg's quest for knowledge extended beyond the classroom, encompassing extensive self-study, attending courses, and learning from diverse perspectives. Implementing a comprehensive approach, Greg addressed root causes and environmental factors, gradually restructuring his body and ultimately experiencing a pain-free life. Now, through his platform "From the Ground Up," Greg aspires to guide individuals on their own journeys of self-discovery and health. His mission extends beyond mere pain relief, aiming to empower others to thrive in their everyday lives. To Greg, injuries are not just a process of recovery; they represent an opportunity for discovery, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the body, fostering improved efficiency, enhanced performance, and the unlocking of untapped potential.
