Persistent Pain: Rethinking Recovery with Nick Hannah

In this episode of The Better Health Podcast, we’re joined by Nick Hannah, a physiotherapist and coach with extensive experience in helping individuals navigate pain and movement challenges. Nick’s approach combines clinical expertise with a deep understanding of how the body can adapt and heal when given the right conditions.

Throughout the conversation, we explore Nick’s unique perspective on pain, posture, and movement, shifting the narrative away from a purely biomedical view. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of moving often, embracing change, and understanding the multifaceted nature of pain. Nick shares insights into how we can better care for our bodies and maintain long-term health, whether through rehabilitation or simply improving daily habits.
