This podcast aims to empower listeners with HOPE that healing is possible when you know how. We discuss strategic tools addressing mindset, movement & emotional health.

I am your host, Marion McRae, a physiotherapist & movement addict on a mission to see the existing model of treating back pain evolve. The current model is broken. It focusses almost entirely on the physical body, neglecting the fact that we are all both thinkers and feelers. When the thoughts in our head, and the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive.
My guest for this episode is Personal Friend & "Fascial Mentor" Muriel Morwitzer aka Mu Mu. I first met Mu Mu as a business partner. I found her very "Swiss German" - by her own admission - she was tough, detailed, ridiculously professional ( by Australian Standards ) and the MOST passionate practitioner I had met. Her knowledge of Fascia and Movement was totally superior to my own and at times I felt threatened by that, but as I grew to observe Mu Mu in operation I began to feel comforted by her knowledge. Here was someone I could learn from, and Model, and share insights with.
Surprise Surprise, Mu Mu's calling to teach movement has a solid foundation in her own back pain story, which was triggered by an accident in her youth.

Mu Mu's Top tips -
