I fixed the problem, but I hadn't fixed it because there were deeper rooted things that we hadn't yet addressed.

Now, through seeing this many times,

I decided that one of the better ways I could help people to avoid this cycle of almost boom, bust, get better, then get worse again, was to give them things to do in between their sessions and after they leave me.

And one of the best ways to deliver that was via video.

So I started putting these videos out initially just to help my patients.

Yeah, definitely.

And I always try and strip things back to the most fundamental basics of movement.

Because I never think of myself as a smart guy.

I'm like, I have to see something work for me to understand it.

And I figure that a lot of people like that approach as well.

They just want something very simple, like a really simple explanation, and then one thing they can do to fix that problem.

And I think that was probably the approach that really propelled the channel to getting so many millions of views.

But really the mission hasn't changed from there.

It's still like give people something very easy that they can do and don't overcomplicate it, strip it back to basics, figure out what has gone wrong and then a simple strategy to try and improve it.

Yeah.

So let's go back to pain science for a minute, okay?

Because this is really, really important.

We used to think that when someone was in pain, that was because there was a tissue that was damaged.

And the only reason someone can have pain is because there's some element of damage there.

We now know that's not true.
