Most people only consider physical therapy after something breaks. A torn muscle. A blown-out knee. The kind of injury that makes you question if your body is still yours. But what if movement wasn’t just for recovery… but for prevention? For performance? For staying independent as you age?
In this episode, I sit down with Brynli Walker—a licensed physical therapist, athlete, mom, and all-around expert in helping people reclaim their bodies. We unpack what most people get wrong about pain, why surgery isn’t always the first (or best) option, and how your glutes, hips, and forgotten muscles might be the key to not just surviving… but thriving.
We cover everything from the surprising science of deadlifts, to running in silence, to the deeply unsexy exercises that actually work. This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a grounded, practical exploration into what your body is capable of—and what it needs from you in return.
Expect to Learn:
- Why movement is often the missing prescription
- The real reason your knees or back might hurt—and what to do about it
- What most rehab protocols get wrong
- How to future-proof your body through strength and mobility
- Why comparison is the enemy of progress in the gym and in life
If you’ve ever wondered when to push, when to rest, or what recovery actually means—this is the episode for you.
