The Growth Over Fear Podcast
Staying Active As You Age & Preventing Injury | Andrew Fix
Dr. Andrew Fix is a Performance-based physical therapist with Physio Room and fellow podcast host. He practices with Physio Room in Denver Colorado which is actually located right inside Lions Den (the gym I train my in person clients out of). I have referred a handful of my clients to him for sciatica, shoulder injury, and more.
In this episode, Dr. Fix shares his story with becoming a physical therapist, how one can stay proactive with their health, prevention of injuries, and healthy habits that play a big role in all aspects of wellness.
This is a valuable episode for anyone that wants to learn how to maintain an active lifestyle as you age, with insights from both a physical therapist and a fitness professional.
Key Takeaways:
"We need to move our bodies. We're designed to move, and the more and more technologically advanced our world becomes, the more and more sedentary it seems like our jobs and our lives become."
"Loading can be a great tool to help things feel better, because when we get muscles engaging and get muscles contracting, we draw that blood flow to the area."
"The same stuff that we would do to try to improve somebody's performance. Make sure they're sleeping appropriately, make sure they're managing their stress. Make sure they have a well dialed in training program and make sure that they're eating adequately right. Their nutrition and plan is dialed in. Those are the same things you're gonna do to try to prevent an injury, right?"
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
"Don't trade what you want most for what you want right now."
