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.

This podcast aims to empower listeners with HOPE that healing is possible when you know how. We discuss strategic tools addressing mindset, movement & emotional health.
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 emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.
My guest for this episode is Pelvic Specialist Physiotherapist - Ciara Devery - all the way from County Tyrone. I reached out to Ciara to come and talk about her brilliant creation the "Mama Turn" - a frictionless was to find ease with rolling in bed. Something that those in Back Pain will certainly appreciate.
Ciara’s tools:
- Mama Turn & Papa Turn - Available for Purchase Here
- Quality Movement retraining
- Manual Physiotherapy
Ciara's Top tips -
- Don't Panic about your Pain - It won't help
- Move Naturally - Freezing and Gripping in anticipation of Pain does not help
- Get some Quality Sleep - without it - it's hard to heal.
