This week I have a fascinating and informative discussion with Sports and Orthopaedic Physical Therapist, Rick Olderman.

Rick has dedicated his career to solving the puzzle of chronic musculoskeletal pain and has developed a unique approach to eliminating pain without medication. 

In Rick’s experience, the medical and allied health professions are excellent at identifying  and isolating damaged tissue and treating it. However, they are not necessarily excellent and understanding why the tissue was damaged in the first place. As a result, chronic pain can often remain unresolved.

Rick focuses on how forces act on the structures in our bodies and if your patterns of movement are dysfunctional, these forces can act in such a way as to cause chronic pain. Understanding the architecture of our bodies and how to change dysfunctional movement patterns is at the core of Rick work. He has developed a system Fixing You to help you eliminate pain without medication.

If you’ve experienced physical pain or you want to avoid it or you simply want to know more about its causes, this is a perfect episode for you.
