Knee pain isn’t always just “𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿.”

It often comes from how your whole lower body moves — tight fascia, hip weakness, or ankle restrictions can shift how your knee tracks.

Your knee depends on support from your hip, foot, and core. When those areas aren’t working well together, your knee takes the stress.

🎉 Episode 100 of Resilience Radio is live on YouTube 🎉

This episode continues my conversation with Dr. Turner Osler on movement, ergonomics, and why simply “standing more” isn’t the solution people think it is.

We talk about:
• Why movement matters more than posture
• Where standing desks fall short
• How small changes in how you move can add up over a day
• What ergonomics should actually support in real life

▶️ Watch here:

This is Part 2 of our conversation — not a retrospective or special interview — and builds directly on the ideas from the first episode.

If you’re interested in pain, recovery, or designing environments that support real movement, I think you’ll find this one useful.

In this milestone Episode 100 of Resilience Radio, Irvin Eisenberg sits down with Turner Osler to explore how ergonomics, posture, and movement intersect — a...

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 11 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 — nearly as much as a bowling ball? 😳
Now imagine your neck holding that all day while you’re sitting, working, scrolling, or driving.

Forward head posture isn’t just a “𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.”
It increases strain on the neck muscles and fascia, which can lead to:
🧠 Tension headaches
🔁 Neck tightness
💆‍♂️ Scapular and jaw discomfort
And sometimes pain that feels like it’s in your head, not your neck.

Balance, movement awareness, gentle manual work, and mindful stretching can reduce that strain and help you feel lighter and more mobile.

🌟Want personalized strategies for head and neck pain?
👉Book a session to start easing tension and regain comfort.

It usually doesn’t happen all at once.

𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵:
• Sitting a little longer than usual
• Carrying stress in your body without noticing
• Ignoring that “𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆” because life is busy
• Telling yourself, “𝑰𝒕’𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚.”

Until one day, your back reminds you it’s been keeping score.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.
And when we change the pattern, the pain often changes too.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
If your back pain story feels a little too relatable, let’s talk.

In this new video, Irvin Eisenberg, OT and Structural Integrator at Resilience Occupational Therapy, explains why back pain often comes from other systems in the body.

You’ll learn:
✅ How digestion and abdominal pressure can create back pain
✅ Why your fascia — from feet to head — plays a major role in tension
✅ How biomechanics (feet, knees, hips) influence low back load
✅ How your nervous system + fear of movement can intensify pain

If you want a clear, whole-body understanding of where pain really comes from (and what you can do about it), this video will shift the way you think about your back.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 often returns because the 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏 causing it has never changed.
Fascia tension, core weakness, limited hip mobility, and stress all contribute — and your body remembers these patterns.

𝗦𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 → 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 → 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 → 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀.

This opens the front line of fascia, improves shoulder glide, and helps reduce daily tension.
