Building Bulletproof Backs - Holistic Back Pain Relief with Marion McRae
Why does your back still hurt when every scan looks reassuring—or when treatment helps, but the relief never lasts?
Building Bulletproof Backs is where Australian physiotherapist Marion “Maz” McRae has honest, intelligent conversations with people who have lived through persistent back pain and the practitioners helping to change how it is understood.
Each episode explores the whole picture: movement and load, the nervous system, mindset, identity, stress and emotion. You’ll hear real stories, thoughtful clinical perspectives and practical ideas for rebuilding trust in your body—without quick-fix promises or one-size-fits-all answers.

I am your host, Marion McRae, a physiotherapist & movement addict on a mission to see the existing model of treating back pain evolve. The current model is broken. It focusses almost entirely on the physical body, neglecting the fact that we are all both thinkers and feelers. When the thoughts in our head, and the the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.
