On todays episode, Julie is joined by Dr. Zach Long to discuss growing @thebarbellphysio, his leadership in blending strength and conditioning with rehab, and why taking people “back to baseline” isn’t enough. Simply put, the person that was your baseline got hurt, so why would we stop there? Zach is a physical therapist, educator, and coach who has helped tens of thousands of people optimize and understand performance through his courses, social media content, and fitness programming. We discuss strategies for building true tissue resilience, how to effectively dose exercise, and how much emphasis we should be placing on lifting technique. We also discuss the limitations place on us by the health care system and how we can maximize health & fitness despite these challenges.
