In this episode of the Maverick Strength Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Stephen Mayo, DPT, to dive into his non-traditional approach to rehab and injury recovery—one that prioritizes functional movement and barbell strength training over passive treatments.

We explore his journey from Air Force service to becoming a forward-thinking physical therapist, how he balances an in-person practice with online coaching, and why strength is the foundation of long-term health and resilience. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or just someone who wants to move and feel better, this episode is packed with actionable insights on training through and beyond injuries.

Enjoy the show!
