Where Do You Even Start Fixing Your Body?

Most of us try to fix pain by stretching, rolling, or strapping ourselves into devices. But what if the real solution starts with simply watching how you move? In this episode, Jack and Marce dig into the question everyone asks when they finally decide to work on their body: "Where do I start?"

Instead of quick fixes or gym routines, focus on observation—using mirrors, cameras, and curiosity to spot the patterns and positions your body naturally falls into, often without you realizing it. What you see may not feel “normal,” but it’s the first step toward unwinding the habits and compensations that create pain.

Along the way, they unpack why posture braces are the ChapStick of the body (making the problem worse in the long run), how fascia behaves like a boogie board in water (and is a Non-Newtonian fluid) and why the spot that hurts is usually just a symptom, not the source. From nervous system “comfort zones” to common misfires like endless stretching or improper foam rolling, this conversation reframes recovery as an experiment in awareness—and a reminder that fixing your body starts with noticing, not forcing.

This conversation is part science, part storytelling, and part “why did no one ever teach us this?”
