EP178: An Interview with Dr. Becca Eberly!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, and physical therapist, Becca Eberly! Over the course of 60 minutes, we discuss everything from horses, to being a parent, to overuse injuries, proper footwear, pain and much more!

The recurring theme around all of these topics is the importance of taking a holistic approach to everything that you do, especially when it comes to your body and pain.

Factors like sleep, hydration, stress, and activity levels can all play a role in that hamstring feeling tight, the back being sore or the shoulder pain you experience while placing something overhead. If we fail to look at the whole picture, we may never get to the root cause of the pain or discomfort that you are feeling. When this occurs, the pain will linger and potentially worsen to the point of it becoming chronic. Chronic pain then leads to depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and an overall decrease in quality of life which will then exacerbate the pain. This cycle will continue and it is no wonder that over 50 million American suffer from chronic pain.
