We all know that movement and exercise is essential to overall health and vitality, but in this week's episode we explore it's fundamental connection to living an extraordinary life. Join us as we sit down with Tom Walters, a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, author, and founder of Rehab Science, who's made it his life's mission to educate people on how to alleviate common musculoskeletal pain, prevent re-injury,  and thrive. Tom focuses on how proper rehab moves can mitigate pain and speed healing.  In our conversation we explore the power of simple movement and  life-enhancing changes, like walking more or using a standing desk.  We also discuss the dangers of sedentary lifestyles and their potential link to chronic pain.

Ever wondered how resistance training could be a vital asset to your health and longevity? Tom shares his wealth of knowledge on this topic, revealing how to maximize basic exercises like squats, push-ups, and lunges. Our conversation takes an even deeper turn as we explore the importance of muscle and movement. We debunk the myth that rehab exercises are only for when you’re in pain or injured, and discuss how consistency in exercise can make a world of difference.

We all know that mindset and nutrition play significant roles in our overall health, but how do they impact pain? Tom gives us insight into this, sharing strategies for maintaining positivity and we discuss how proper nutrition not only can reduce inflammation but also maintain a healthy musculoskeletal system. Tom's journey is an inspiring tale of passionate living, a testament to the power of alignment, and a reminder that every step we take toward healthier living is a step toward an extraordinary life. Tune in and be inspired on how movement, exercise and nutrition can set you up to live your extraordinary life!
