Most of us don’t feel unhealthy — just stiff, tired, sore, and flat.

We wake up, walk a few steps to the kitchen, sit for work, sit for meetings, sit for meals, then sit on the couch at night… and wonder why our neck hurts, our back aches, and our energy is gone.

In this very first episode of The Treatment Table Podcast, physiotherapist Mathew Ah Chow explains why movement matters more than anything else when it comes to your health, happiness, and quality of life.

He shares the deeply personal story that led him to become a physio — his grandmother’s final birthday wish — and why losing movement often means losing freedom, identity, and joy.

You’ll learn:

• Why we’re living through a modern “sitting pandemic”
• Why movement isn’t about workouts, weight loss, or burning calories
• What hunter-gatherer tribes can teach us about pain, posture, and longevity
• How sitting all day quietly impacts your energy, breathing, mood, and body
• A simple daily mobility exercise you can start today to undo the effects of sitting

This episode is for anyone who feels stiff, sore, exhausted, or frustrated with their body and wants simple, realistic steps to feel better without fads or overwhelm.

Because movement isn’t about performance.
It’s about living well.

Next episode: Senior Exercise Physiologist Kyle Petry joins the show to break down how movement and exercise can genuinely improve your life.
