Back pain sucks - but not all back pain is sciatica.

I’m joined by physical therapist, Dr. Ashley Mak, who is sharing his best tools for sciatic pain relief and prevention.

As a true body nerd, he believes that you can live pain-free without the use of surgery and medications and teaches others how to make that a reality.

And after overcoming unrelenting back pain and sciatica as a college student, Ashley is now on a mission to share the path to pain-free with as many people as possible.

So whether you suffer from back pain of any type, then today’s episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• The anatomy of sciatica
• Common causes of sciatic nerve pain
• Easy lifestyle changes to help improve your back pain
