It’s time for our Daily Dose of What’s Up Docs?, with Drs’ Chris and Xand van Tulleken.
January is certainly a month we pay considerable attention to our health and wellbeing and we all want a little reminder of some tips and tricks for how best to care for and think about our minds and bodies.
In this Daily Dose, Drs Chris and Xand are returning to the episode of What’s Up Docs?, on backs with Dr Mindy Cairns, Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Associate Professor at the University of Hertfordshire. Mindy offered some excellent insight into fear avoidance when it comes to back pain, and why we perhaps don’t need to be a fearful as we may think.
The Daily Doses will be dropping each weekday throughout January (other than Tuesday's), an elixir of expert wisdom from previous episodes of What’s Up Docs?. You can find them in the medicine cabinet that is the What’s Up Docs?, feed on BBC Sounds.
