So lo- so back-- Okay.

So when we talk about low back pain, it's typically, uh, classified as, like, acute or chronic.

So did it happen recently, or is this something that you've been dealing with a long time? Um, and then the other way that we, we classify low back pain is the type of low-- the type of pain that you're experiencing.

The most common low back pain that most people experience is something called mechanical low back pain.

So this is the dull, achy sensation that is coming from, uh, the facet joints.

So we have, like, joints in the spine.

Mm-hmm

or a boy or a girl, right? How do people know a human being, right? So this affects everything.

Absolutely.

And this is also, we're going to talk about this, if we can, in the context of intimate relationships, but we can also talk about this in the context of our interactions with our family, in the workplace, because this really does, and there are, you know, to answer your question very simply, absolutely differences.

There are differences between the male and the female brain.

So I just want to maybe back up for two seconds just so everybody has a working knowledge of what we're going to talk about here.

So very, I'm going to paint some broad strokes, but very generally we have two sides or two hemispheres, two halves of the brain, right? We have the right side, we have the left side.

When we think about how our brain develops, it typically develops right to left.

Women.

Yes.

So let's say it that way.

I have professional experience in this, and I also have personal experience in it as well.

I have an undergrad in neuroscience and psychology from the University of Toronto.

When I was pursuing that, I became a fitness instructor, a personal trainer, so this was, you know, very young.

I started having, uh, my first exposure to seeing firsthand how people were setting goals for themselves and having a difficult time achieving it.

Went on to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Canada, and then I was in pr- I've been in practice for 20 years.

Mm-hmm.
