You know, I had my own injury to my lower back when I was in my mid to late 20s, and I went through so many different traditional therapies. I mean, you name it, I did it. And sometimes I feel a little better for a short period of time, but it wasn't getting better. And I had a hard time really understanding why is it that if I have this injury and somebody else has the same injury and This works for that person, but this doesn't work for the other person. Why is that the case? And I realized there had to be more to pain than there was with just doing traditional physical therapy or anything else. So I had to dive in a little deeper and start to learn about how is it that pain really works and why is it different from person to person. And that's when I was able to really figure out That pain at a neurological level is really the key because everybody's neurology is just a little bit different. And if you start giving your brain and your nervous system the different inputs that it needs, it can heal way faster than if you're just guessing at, you know, a traditional therapy.
