The FIT40 Podcast #324: Pilates, PT, and Performance: A Smarter Way to Get Strong w/ Dr. Becky Rucker
In this episode of The FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Becky Rucker—physical therapist, strength coach, and owner of Physio Performance—to unpack what really causes pain and how to train around it without making things worse. We dive into common movement issues, when to push and when to modify, how posture and asymmetry affect performance, and why your tight traps might actually be weak. Whether you're rehabbing an injury or just want to train smarter after 40, this episode is packed with practical, real-life takeaways.
