Why does the pain go away before you're actually fixed? In the final part of our pain series, Greg and I get into what rehab really looks like once the diagnosis is right — from why "this exercise works your glutes" is nonsense (your brain runs tasks, not muscles) to how to tell a technique problem from a genuine tissue one. We bust the usual myths — knees over toes, weak cores, tight hamstrings — and land on the one thing that actually matters: progression, not perfection.
