In this episode I had the opportunity to sit down with Mitchell Tanner, an expert in physical therapy and a coach. Mitchell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy & a Strength Coach. He has worked with everyone from professional athletes to everyday people. His remote coaching is very person centered, focusing on the whole person and not just their goals or the pain they're experiencing.

Our in-depth discussion revolved around the crucial role of understanding pain and injury in athletic performance. Mitchell shed light on the common fears and misconceptions surrounding pain, highlighting the vital importance of empathy and compassion in the rehabilitation journey.

We explored the importance of focusing on each step of the recovery process rather than fixating on the final goal. This balance between enduring discomfort and recognizing when to rest is essential for athletes. Additionally, we delved into the significance of proper technique in enhancing performance and addressed the limitations of relying exclusively on biomechanics to explain pain.

Mitchell also shared his expertise in remote rehab coaching, emphasizing load management and personalized training plans. This episode is packed with valuable insights for athletes, coaches, health professionals, and anyone interested in the dynamics of pain management and recovery in sports. It's a must-listen for those seeking to deepen their understanding of athletic performance and the psychology of healing.
