In this episode, I dive into why waiting until your body “breaks” is the absolute worst approach. I share real stories of athletes—a high school cross-country runner and wrestler, and a former top doubles tennis player—who were struggling with stiffness, fatigue, and silent muscles that were limiting their performance.
We’ll talk about how joint glide, muscle activation, and movement readiness are often overlooked, why traditional rehab and strength training sometimes aren’t enough, and how MAPP testing can pinpoint exactly what’s holding you back. I’ll show you how optimizing your body now can prevent bigger issues later and keep you moving at your best.
If you’ve ever felt tight, off, or like your body isn’t performing like it should, this episode is for you. Don’t wait until something breaks—let’s get your body ready to move.
