And more importantly, what does this mean for me? Long-term? Yeah. Because right now, it doesn't matter. If this keeps happening and I'm in my 80s, this is the difference between reacting and not reacting and being able to get around and not. So how do I prevent this from being a lifelong problem?

So I don't want to jinx myself and I hope I'm not doing it by saying this. Is this why, despite all the crazy stuff I've done, all the miles I ran growing up, never really had a knee issue, but boy, do I get these feet issues?

Yeah. Let's talk about something that you touched on a few minutes ago, which is around fear. We see this a lot. We see this in the medical practice where we have patients where we're overseeing all their training. Sounds like you see this at 10 Squared as well, where you have clients that are just coming in for obviously the training piece of this.

So is there any common thread to this or does it come in all walks of life? I've seen it in former athletes. who are injured, but the injury is so bad that they just never quite want to go back down that path, especially if they've had multiple re-injuries. I assume you see this in people who are not necessarily athletes.

So it's really about empowerment with education. What is it that you would see when somebody comes in that would make you say, actually, we need to immobilize you? Is that something that's only going to be on an exam where you see a motor weakness, for example? Immobilize how? Like put them in a boot? Let's look at the lower back.

So if somebody shows up with a lower back complaint to you, what's going to make you say, no, actually the answer is seeing a surgeon or complete and total rest. What is kind of your algorithm on people presenting with lower back pain?
