79: Movement is Medicine w/ Francesca McKenzie
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you keep getting injured, you've been told to rest or scale back, and nothing you've tried has fixed the problem, this episode is for you. We don't want you, nor should you have to accept pain as your new normal. You need someone who knows how to find what everyone else missed.
We sit down with Francesca McKenzie, our in-house movement specialist, to unpack what "movement is medicine" really means in practice. They cover why the same injuries keep coming back, what most practitioners overlook in their assessments, and how strength training and rehab aren't opposite, but the same thing done right.
