Summary

Self-Care for Pain & Injuries

with Dr. Dan Ginader
--------
Have you ever gotten obsessed with a new diet or exercise routine? Enthusiasm is rare, so when you're feeling it, you naturally want to go all in. But if your zero-to-hero journey is rushed, as it often is, you can end up with busted knees, a herniated disc, or plantar fasciitis.

My first two years as a yoga student, I was on-and-off injured constantly. I went to sports therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists trying to find someone to fix me.

A good therapist can be life-changing, but at the end of the day, you and your body have to work together to heal. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a physical therapist who will help you rethink pain and injury.

Listen & Learn

How to incorporate your healing routine in your pre-existing exercise routine
Why consistent follow through is crucial for results
To scan or not to scan (MRI?)
The leading cause of injury (and how to prevent it)
How to determine whether your high risk sport is worth it or not
