    #75 - When Back Pain Becomes Leg Pain

    Low back pain is common, but when it starts traveling down the leg with numbness, tingling, or weakness, it may indicate nerve involvement. In this episode, Chris explains how he approaches back pain that spreads into the leg and why the first priority is often resolving the leg symptoms before focusing on the back itself. He discusses a real-world case, the concept of centralizing pain, and how to stay active while gradually returning to normal movement and exercise during recovery.

    #74 - Your Pain Having a "Name" Doesn't Make You Better

    In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris reacts to a provocative quote: “Your pain having a name doesn’t make you better.” He explores why chasing a diagnosis can sometimes create “paralysis by analysis”—especially with common issues like back and shoulder pain. While imaging and labels have their place, they don’t automatically create a clear path to recovery. Chris explains why two people with the same MRI findings often need completely different treatment plans, how lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, strength, and nutrition influence pain, and why recovery requires action—not just answers. If you’ve been stuck searching for the “root cause,” this episode challenges you to shift from labeling pain to building resilience and long-term health.

    #70 - Rehab Should Be Hard: Flirting With Failure to Reach Your Full Potential

    In this episode of the Build Beyond podcast, Chris discusses the importance of helping patients reach their full potential in rehabilitation settings.

    #68 - Struggling With Motivation? Try This First

    In this short episode, Chris breaks down a simple but powerful exercise to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unmotivated with their health goals. Rather than chasing big resolutions or searching for the “perfect” plan, this episode focuses on the importance of clarity and focus—especially when motivation is low. Using real-world examples from healthcare and fitness, Chris explains why many goals fail: too many options, unclear outcomes, and aiming at the wrong targets. He introduces a straightforward visual exercise designed to help listeners clarify their desired outcomes, identify possible paths forward, and choose a meaningful first step—without overthinking it. This episode is for anyone who has abandoned a New Year’s resolution, feels paralyzed by too much information, or isn’t sure what to do next. If motivation hasn’t worked, this episode shows why focus might be the missing piece.
