Frozen Shoulder, Aching Hips & Just Aging: Midlife Joint Pain with Dr. Tom Walters
About this episode
Dr. Tom Walters discusses the misconceptions around midlife joint pain and the importance of active recovery.
You rested it like a good girl. Weeks later, it still hurts. Orthopedic physical therapist Dr. Tom Walters explains why "just rest it" is often the worst advice for a midlife ache or injury, why pain doesn't equal damage, and how to rebuild your tissue's capacity so you can keep training through perimenopause and beyond.
