Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, want to prevent future injuries, or simply aim to optimise your wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights on how to build a strong foundation for your health that will last.

Key Quotes

“Movement is definitely medicine. Every time we’re moving, it’s like we’re getting WD-40 for our joints, we’re oiling them up. So if you’re not moving, you’re definitely at risk of getting injured.”

“If we’re not strength training, we’re not being proactive about our health. So all we’re going to do is get an injury, go to the physio, think a massage is going to help, and then we go back to square one.”
