Can someone validate?! Core thesis is that back pain is caused by repressed emotions and not any physical ailment. You can quit the physical and just focus on emotional and it will fix your problems. https://x.com/julianweisser/status/1866304517240766626?s=46

It’s usually sacral / your hips. You store emotion and trauma in your pelvis and all the muscles around it. It takes a long time and is very emotional and weird but if you do stretch work daily for 30 mins or so and really let your facia stretch out then you will see life changing things happen. Your body will release emotion even though you aren’t “sad” or even thinking about anything sad, you will start to physically cry. All you need to do is start with lunges on both sides, then frog pose, then super long pigeon pose on each side. Hold those for 30 mins each if you can mentally handle it. Yoga changed my life and it’s insane what it does to your mental health.

I suspect, as usual, that it depends. My chronic back pain was caused by an injury that caused a disk to press on a nerve. Strengthening my core to reduce the strain on my back fixed it for me. I suspect if my core weakens I'll get the pain again. Don't want to find out.

It could be a factor or not. Sole factor? Less likely but possible I guess The no-brainer thing to do would be first get your surrounding muscles and the main muscle itself strong and stable with resistance training: lower back, core, hips Stretch your psoas Then if still present, try this

I read it a couple years ago after hn, reddit kept bringing it up for rsi. Was more interesting than I expected but didn’t miraculously heal me. What did was taking breaks on the keyboard.

yes and no. no magic to make an anatomical issue disappear. but yes your mental game contributes to not just back but many such things we try to treat with drugs. eg hair loss is poor diet and your scalp being tense due to ... stress. posture is key. internal state/emotions drive posture. posture drives emotions

My experience is that using my muscles makes me feel good & can solve (mask?) a lot of problems. Better range of motion => more muscle use => more feeling good. So I agree with the correlation, but I think the cause<>effect is exactly backwards here.

I'll give it a read, but here's my experience. Context: Fractured my spine almost 33 years ago and tried every possible fix. Nothing worked. Wasn't paralyzed, but couldn't sit cross-legged since. Dealt with it through my teens, then mobility fell off a cliff. Then: Hit the lowest low of my life right before I turned 40. Ended up on SSRI's later that year. Body immediately felt like jelly. Within weeks, I had the ability to sit cross-legged. This seems to have been an uncommon physical side effect. Now, instead of a dull constant background pain (that I didn't realize I had until it was gone) I have sharp acute pain localized at various points throughout my body. Have spent the past 2 years engaged in consistent low-intensity physical therapy for ~2 hours a day to chase the acute pain around my body and eliminate it. Did a bit of counselling, but I'd say that has reduced the return of *some* of the pain. Almost fully healed, now! So I propose: mystery drugs and pilates.

there is scientific evidence that pain education is effective; it's one of the only things that has evidence of being effective, beyond exercise (generally)
