115: New Evidence: Can Massage Spread Cancer? (with Cathy Ryan & Erika Slocum)

🎙️When we treat our client’s “problems,” are we really helping them? Or, would a more fundamental reframe yield better results?

Whitney and Til catch up with physiotherapist and chiropractor Greg Lehman about the evolution of his influential “Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science” course, and his thinking on specifics like SI Joint pain, “flat arches,” and more. 🔍🗣️👥🔊
