Hey everybody, today Ashley Lewis of Polaris Rehab joins us for a practical conversation on pain, rehab, injury risk, movement quality, and strength training. today's discussion covers how athletes can keep training around injuries, why rehab and training belong on the same continuum, the biopsychosocial model of pain, building capacity, ribcage and pelvis mechanics, and why there’s no such thing as perfect posture, and much much more. Today's episode is super valuable for athletes and coaches alike, especially those looking to widen their understanding of rehabilitation and it's relation to strength training, and dealing with athletes in pain.
