Episode notes
Joint Dysfunction Is The Central Constraint
- Most people sit on a spectrum of joint health from broken-down to bottlenecked, not discrete categories.
- Joint dysfunction is the central limiter that keeps people from improving performance or longevity.
Reframe Pain As A Messenger
- Scott frames pain as a messenger that signals something is wrong rather than a badge of hard work.
- Learning to distinguish soreness from tendon pathology helps guide smarter responses.
Tendinopathy Is The Main Culprit
- Tendinopathy dominates chronic joint pain and is a degenerative collagen problem, not mere inflammation.
- Resolving tendinopathy addresses the majority of joint pain complaints.
