Why Pain Isn’t the Problem: David Jeter on Rethinking Musculoskeletal Healing

In Wellness Reimagined, hosted by Saima, physical therapist David Jeter challenges how we’ve been taught to understand pain and healing.

This episode is for anyone living with recurring discomfort, confusion around diagnoses, or frustration with temporary fixes. You’ll discover how looking beyond symptoms can unlock long-term relief, restore trust in your body, and shift your mindset from managing pain to truly healing.

About the Guest:

David Jeter is a physical therapist based in Spokane, Washington, and owner of Acceleration Physical Therapy. He focuses on identifying root causes of pain through whole-body movement and biomechanical understanding.
