  • Physical Therapy and Back Pain: Helping with Mobility & Recovery

    Physical Therapy and Back Pain: Helping with Mobility & Recovery
    13 Oct 2026
    Host Cory Leman and physical therapist Julia Thompson discuss the complexities, causes, and treatments of back pain on the IBJI OrthoInform podcast. Thompson explains that while an estimated 80% of individuals will experience back pain in their lifetime, the common belief that patients should avoid movement is a harmful myth, asserting instead that movement acts as medicine. She identifies modern inactivity and prolonged desk work as major contributors to spinal discomfort, and she advocates for early physical therapy intervention alongside regular posture changes. By utilizing hands-on treatments, modalities like trigger point dry needling, and individualized strength training that safely loads the spine, Thompson emphasizes that patients can successfully overcome fear-avoidant behaviors and restore their quality of life without surgery.

    In this episode of IBJI’s OrthoInform podcast, host Cory Leman and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Murphy discuss the broad spectrum of knee care, from initial joint pain to surgical interventions.

Dr. Murphy offers high-level insights into what patients can expect throughout the treatment process, addressing common fears about joint replacements and long-term durability.
