Episode Details

Most people think low back pain means something is wrong with their back. It's usually the hips — and the fix often starts on your living room floor.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, JD to discuss:

• Why 100% of the people who fly across the country to get a consult for stubborn low back pain are missing hip extension, and how to test yours with the couch stretch
• The "injury vs. incident" framework that tells you when pain needs a doctor and when you can manage it yourself
• How 20–30 minutes of floor sitting each evening restores the range of motion you thought you'd lost to age
• Why mobility is the missing third leg of the longevity triangle that roughly 90% of people skip

By the end, you'll have a simple, no-equipment way to move without pain and keep the strength and mobility that let you do what you love as you age.
