You'll hear about the physical and psychological realities of rehab, chronic pain, strength training, and returning to sport in your 40s and beyond. From navigating fear around movement to understanding why "just rest it" often isn't enough, this conversation is packed with practical insight for athletes over 40 who want to stay strong, resilient, and active for the long haul. What you'll learn in this episode: Why injuries hit harder than just the physical pain The problem with "just stop training" advice What scans and imaging may not tell you A different way to think about pain and recovery Why some athletes stay stuck after injury The overlooked role of strength training in resilience What's missing from a lot of rehab programs How to stay connected to your sport while recovering Enjoyed this episode and want more?
