This week I have a fascinating and informative discussion with Sports and Orthopaedic Physical Therapist, Rick Olderman. Rick has dedicated his career to solving the puzzle of chronic musculoskeletal pain and has developed a unique approach to eliminating pain without medication.  In Rick’s experience, the medical and allied health professions are excellent at identifying  and isolating damaged tissue and treating it. However, they are not necessarily excellent and understanding why the tissue was damaged in the first place. As a result, chronic pain can often remain unresolved. Rick focuses on how forces act on the structures in our bodies and if your patterns of movement are dysfunctional, these forces can act in such a way as to cause chronic pain. Understanding the architecture of our bodies and how to change dysfunctional movement patterns is at the core of Rick work. He has developed a system Fixing You to help you eliminate pain without medication. If you’ve experienced physical pain or you want to avoid it or you simply want to know more about its causes, this is a perfect episode for you.   RICK OLDERMAN   Rick's website: https://rickolderman.com/     RICK'S SOCIAL MEDIA   https://www.facebook.com/FixingYouMethod   https://www.instagram.com/fixingyouclinic/   https://www.youtube.com/@RickOldermanPT/     Fixing You® Method At Home Course    http://www.fixingyoumethod.com/ Listeners get 20% off their orders with code: FIXINGYOU     Fixing You® Method for Health Professionals   https://www.healpatientsfaster.com Use the code FIXINGYOU to get 20% off     RICK'S BOOK, Solving The Pain Puzzle    Here's the link where the book can be purchased: https://amzn.to/3Y9pnjU      SIGN UP TO MY MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Do you want to be better informed about some of the latest developments in health and wellbeing?  Is that a "yes"?
