How's it going, everybody? Welcome to Trail Tales episode number of 134. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a

through hiker. I am a backpacker. I am a huge hiking nerd. And every single week on this podcast,

I chat with other through hikers, other backpackers, other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail.

Folks, the show is on fire.

Let me tell you, we've just had banger episodes after banger episodes.

I'm so, so proud of the way that this one came out. My guest this week is

Dr. Morgan Bronsenhan, and she is a physical therapist that travels up and down the PCT treating

hikers. She's also a through hiker herself, And guys, I tell this whole story at the beginning of the

episode, but I'll just spoil it a little bit here. Morgan saved my through hiker. We'll leave it at

that for now. And, well, really, you're going to hear it in just a minute because we're about to

get into it. But if you haven't done so already, go follow her instagram it's at blazevisio go check out her website blazevisio dot com and we don't even need

to do any plugs i'm just so excited about this one i want you guys to hear it so let's get into

episode number 134 with dr. Morgan, Bronznahan.

I am so excited for this episode.

So, I need to, before I introduce my amazing guest,

I need to tell a little bit of a story on how we,

I don't want to say how we met,

because we never actually met in person,

but how we, yeah, let me just tell the story.

So, on the PCT this past year, actually even before I started the PCT this

past year, about a month before I started when I was training, I noticed that I was having an issue

with my right foot. And the pain wasn't excruciating. It wasn't like super bad pain.
