What’s the best exercise for chronic low back pain? In this episode, Back Pain Coach and Clinical Pilates Instructor Bernadett Gazsi is joined by physiotherapist and researcher Josielli Comachio to unpack what the research actually says.
They explore why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, the limitations of current clinical guidelines, and the importance of personalized movement, pain education, and realistic recovery expectations.
If you've ever been told to “just stay active,” this conversation will help you understand what really works—and why your back pain deserves a more thoughtful approach.
