Episode 143: How Unbalanced Training Can Restore Strength, Mobility, and Happiness Guest: Scott Hills, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Stroke Rehab Specialist
Is balance always the goal in training? Not necessarily. In this episode, Matt speaks with Scott Hills — personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, stroke rehab expert, and founder of Hills Physical Development — about why training sometimes needs to be deliberately unbalanced to meet the unique challenges of the modern body.
With decades of experience across general fitness and clinical rehab, Scott shares what he's learned about tailoring movement to the individual — and why his focus has shifted toward something much deeper: making people happier through how they move.
In this conversation, they explore:
- Scott’s evolution from trainer to rehab specialist and coach
- How modern life creates imbalances — and why workouts shouldn’t always be symmetrical
- The most common mobility struggles people face today
- Strategies for training with pain, injury, or limited time
- The mental side of fitness — and why joy and motivation matter more than perfection
- Why Scott is now offering online coaching to reach more people where they are
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like traditional training didn’t quite fit. Scott’s approach is practical, compassionate, and deeply human — rooted in the belief that movement should restore not just strength, but quality of life.
