🎙️ BioJam Podcast - Season 1, Episode 1: Movement Jail & Bioplasticity

Have you ever been told you have a “bad back”, “worn-out knees,” or that you should “stop running before you ruin yourself”?

Too many people feel trapped by fear and misinformation about their bodies, stuck in what we call movement jail - afraid to move, exercise, or live fully because they believe their body is fragile.

In the very first episode of the BioJam Podcast, hosts Jess & Sam break down what movement jail really is, where it comes from, and… most importantly… how you can break free.

Whether you’re a clinician, athlete, weekend warrior, or just someone trying to stay active, this episode will empower you with the evidence, language, and mindset you need to rebuild confidence in your body.

Jess & Sam bring their signature mix of pain science, rehabilitation research, and real-world experience to unpack the concept of bioplasticity - the idea that your body and brain are constantly adapting and are far more resilient than you’ve been led to believe.

This episode is packed with practical advice for building confidence in your movement, understanding your pain, and starting your journey out of movement jail - one step at a time.
