Chronic Pain’s Muscle Connection (EP 93)

About this episode

The episode discusses the connection between chronic pain and muscle issues with therapist Julie Donnelly.

I sat down with muscular therapist Julie Donnelly to talk about why your x-rays look perfect, your doctor shrugs, and your body still hurts like hell, and spoiler alert, your muscles have been the problem child this whole time. If you’ve been told it is just aging, arthritis, or “learn to live with it,” this conversation might be the first time any adult in the room actually talks about what your muscles are doing to your joints, nerves, and sanity.
