Healing Pain Through Movement with David Jeters

In this transformative episode of Mind Over Matter, we welcome David Jeters, a seasoned physical therapist from Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane. With a deep focus on manual therapy and functional exercise, David redefines how we view chronic pain. Rather than turning to medications or surgery first, he urges us to look inward—toward alignment, movement, and mindful care. From the misunderstood causes of joint pain to the psychology behind chronic discomfort, this conversation explores the real root of healing. David also shares actionable steps to reconnect with your body and shift your mindset from managing symptoms to creating lasting change.

About the Guest:David Jeters is a licensed physical therapist specializing in manual therapy and functional movement. At Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, he works with a range of patients—from elite athletes to older adults—empowering them to heal through mobility, strength, and nervous system regulation. His mission is to change the narrative around pain and to prove that healing begins not with surgery, but with mindful, intentional movement.

Key Takeaways:

  • Pain is often the result—not the cause—of dysfunction; movement is the key to healing.

  • Delaying therapy can lead to worsening conditions; early intervention often means quicker recovery.

  • Chronic pain isn’t just physical—it’s deeply psychological, driven by fear and avoidance of movement.

  • Manual therapy restores motion, while functional exercise retrains the brain and body for safe, strong movement.

  • One mindset shift? Degeneration on X-rays doesn’t always equal pain.

  • Healing starts with understanding that your body isn't broken—it’s communicating.
