Brick By Brick: The Story Behind the Book
If you feel lost, start here
Why Brick By Brick exists: the patterns behind chronic pain, the three pillars of recovery, and why rebuilding takes seven weeks instead of one sitting.
A year in the making. Shraz and Matt sit down to talk about why Brick By Brick exists — seven videos filmed over six months, then a workbook that took another five.
It started with a pattern seen over and over with online clients: regardless of whether it was a back, a knee or a shoulder, the people stuck in long-term pain were short on confidence and holding tightly to a label from a scan.
