In this episode, my guest is Dr. Kelly Starrett, DPT, a world-renowned physical therapist, best-selling author, and expert on improving movement in fitness, sports, and daily life. We discuss strategies to enhance mobility and flexibility to boost physical performance and overall health, including ways to offset aging, heal from injuries faster, and correct movement or strength imbalances. Topics include zero- and low-cost tools, such as how to warm up effectively, prepare mentally for workouts, properly use foam rollers, perform fascial release, and apply heat or cold for pain management and tissue recovery. We also cover the best flexibility protocols. Dr. Starrett explains how to optimize default postures for sitting, standing, and everyday activities. Listeners will gain practical, easy-to-implement knowledge to improve their health and physical performance.
