Season 1, Episode 12 - Jeff Young & Dr. Thomas Hammett: Merging Physical Therapy and Fitness
In this episode, Thomas and I begin discussing what I like to call the 'six components to needed to create a healthy musculoskeletal system' – a topic I cover in most of my presentations, including a recent presentation for the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Personal Trainers National Conference.
But our talk ended up evolving into an even better discussion on how this concept is actually a small part of the bigger picture on why we need to merge the PT and fitness fields together.
If having a better understanding of the medicine to rehab to fitness pathway is important to you, this podcast is worth your while.
