S 912: Overuse, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint Pain and Why the Same Advice Doesn't Work for All of Them

About this episode

This episode discusses the different causes of joint pain and the appropriate responses for each type.

Joint pain shows up for at least three completely different reasons, and the right response in each case looks completely different. Inside today's episode, I break down the three drivers of joint pain that show up the most in coaching practice and primary care offices, why treating all three the same way gets you right about a third of the time, and how to actually sort out which one you or your client is dealing with. For coaches and active individuals alike, this is the framework to run before reaching for an intervention.
