In today’s episode I discuss the topic of re-injury.

We all get injured. One thing we are all interested in, is getting re-injured less. 

While there is never a quick fix for anything, during this episode I break down some things I understand may be important when addressing the topic of persistent re-injuries. 

From stress and strain on tissue, to load management and recovery, there are several key factors to consider. Ultimately the goal is stand a better chance of being resilient during the recovery process as difficult as that can be.

During today’s episode I tackle something I’ve been thinking about for years, the ever difficult question of iatrogenic factors in clinical practice. 

An iatrogenic side effect is an illness or symptom, caused by a medical procedure, intervention and/or provider. 

I discuss how I see this topic, the things I am paying attention to in my own practice as I try to achieve the best results for the people that I see.
