60 - Lower Back Pain and Movement Optimization with Eoin Everard PhD

In this week's episode, I sat down with Eoin Everard, a Chartered Physiotherapist and a lecturer in Sports Medicine and Strength and conditioning who has a PhD in biomechanics, and often works with people with lower back pain. Eoin is also a very accomplished middle-distance runner and is the current World over 35s Indoor 3000m Champion. 

When Eoin approached me about coming on the show, I thought it would make for a really interesting dialogue between the two of us coming from different educational backgrounds, but both very experienced in helping people with with lower back pain.
