Gym Injuries, Back Pain & Movement Myths — With Osteopath Kieran Jamieson

Do people who exercise actually get injured more… or less?

In this episode of Between Sessions — A Health & Fitness Podcast, we speak with osteopath Kieren Jamieson about what he really sees in the clinic when it comes to pain, injuries, and movement.

Many people assume the gym causes injuries — but Kieran explains why the real problem is often lack of movement, poor load management, or everyday lifestyle habits like sitting for long periods.

We also explore some of the most debated topics in fitness and recovery:

• What an osteopath actually does
• Whether gym training creates more injuries
• The truth about stretching and mobility
• Does foam rolling actually work?
• Why pain doesn’t always mean damage
• The most common movement problems he sees in patients
• What regular exercisers get right compared to sedentary people

Drawing on years of experience treating athletes, runners, office workers, and everyday people, Kieran shares practical insights into how the body responds to movement, how injuries really occur, and how to stay active long-term.

If you’ve ever wondered whether exercise is helping or hurting your body, this episode provides a refreshing and evidence-based perspective.

Because the goal isn’t to avoid movement —
 it’s to move well for life.
