About this podcast
A deep dive into the world of exercise, pain and injury with a Movement Optimism spin as opposed to the kinesiopathological model. The traditional view of the human body has considered to be much more akin to car when we should have been viewing like a robust ecosystem.
This is a masterclass on critical thinking and hopes to get you challenging your biases as well as ours.
