Welcome back from our summer break! While we were off, Body, Brain & Pain celebrated it’s one year anniversary! We want to thank you all for listening over the past year and take a moment today to remind everyone why we started this conversation and why we love being physical therapists.
The United States healthcare system seems to have really missed the mark on pain management and how to treat discomfort - physical or emotional. A large part of this is that we don’t talk about aging and death in a productive or supportive way in America. It’s hard for a lot of us to be vulnerable and realize we are not invincible and this time in life is limited.
But as physical therapists, our goal is to help you realize the amazing things that your body and brain can do! And that you do have control over how you age and live this life. Daily habits matter. Our body needs a plan and consistency and this podcast is here to show you that.
Sad but exciting news, after this episode Body, Brain & Pain will have a new co-host working with Erin! Michelle is moving on to new adventures, but may be back in the future as a guest! We will announce our new co-host (you may recognize her!) at our next episode. It’s still going to be fun and we are still going to have awesome conversations.
