In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes seasoned physical therapist Dave Jeter, founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy, to challenge the conventional approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. Rather than jumping straight to surgeries or quick fixes, Dave advocates for starting with movement-based healing—retraining the body to function as a whole, not in isolation.

Drawing from 23+ years of experience, Dave breaks down how PT addresses the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. From chronic back issues to pre-surgical support, Dave shares why physical therapy should be the first line of defense, and how understanding the kinetic chain is crucial to lasting recovery. Through powerful stories and simple metaphors, he illustrates how PT can help patients not just heal—but thrive.

About the Guest:
Dave Jeter is a licensed physical therapist and founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, WA. With over two decades of experience, Dave specializes in biomechanical dysfunctions, manual therapy, and restoring functional movement patterns. His mission is to empower patients with knowledge and movement so they can reclaim their active lives without unnecessary procedures.

Key Takeaways:

• Physical therapy treats the cause, not just the symptoms, by addressing the full kinetic chain.

• Quick fixes like injections or surgery can mask the problem—PT helps prevent them altogether.

• Chronic pain can be retrained by rewiring how the brain perceives movement.

• Proactive PT can reduce surgeries and healthcare costs dramatically.

• Everyone—especially older adults—can benefit from regular movement assessments to prevent future injuries.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep into a topic often misunderstood—BDSM as a path to healing. Joining him is Mistress Mia Payne, a trauma-informed professional dominatrix and certified therapeutic BDSM practitioner. Together, they unravel how consensual power exchange can be a profound tool for trauma recovery, somatic release, and personal empowerment. Mia shares her journey, from personal experiences with kink to helping clients reclaim autonomy and process deep-seated shame. This conversation challenges societal stigma and sheds light on how intentional pain and surrender, within a structured and consensual setting, can offer a gateway to healing.

About the Guest:
Mistress Mia Payne is a certified therapeutic BDSM practitioner and trauma-informed professional dominatrix. Her groundbreaking work integrates orthomolecular health, bodywork, and kink to offer a powerful healing modality. Through rites of passage, somatic release, and power exchange, she guides clients to reclaim their strength, process trauma, and move toward self-acceptance. As part of the Therapeutic BDSM Collaborative Network, she bridges the gap between traditional therapy and somatic healing.

Key Takeaways:

• Consent is Power: In therapeutic BDSM, the submissive always controls the scene, fostering autonomy and safety.

• Pain as Release: Purposeful pain can trigger emotional releases, balancing brain chemistry and reducing anxiety or depression.

• Breaking Stigma: BDSM, when practiced ethically, is about healing, not harm—it’s time to change the narrative.

• Body Memory: Trauma lives in the body; somatic practices like BDSM can access and heal what talk therapy may not.

• Cultural Shift: As more practitioners like Mia speak out, societal understanding of kink as a wellness practice is evolving.
