79: Movement is Medicine w/ Francesca McKenzie

If you keep getting injured, you've been told to rest or scale back, and nothing you've tried has fixed the problem, this episode is for you. We don't want you, nor should you have to accept pain as your new normal. You need someone who knows how to find what everyone else missed.We sit down with Francesca McKenzie, our in-house movement specialist, to unpack what "movement is medicine" really means in practice. They cover why the same injuries keep coming back, what most practitioners overlook in their assessments, and how strength training and rehab aren't opposite, but the same thing done right.This episode is for the woman who's tired of band-aid solutions and ready to learn how her body moves.03:06 – How Fitness Technology Has Changed the Way We Coach and Train04:40 – Francesca's Personal Transformation: Weight Loss, Bodybuilding, and Injury10:13 – Why Resistance Training and Rehab Belong in the Same Program13:04 – What "Movement Is Medicine" Means in Practice17:12 – Orthotics: Helpful Tool or Band-Aid for a Deeper Problem21:05 – Why Cookie-Cutter Protocols Fail and What a Holistic Approach Looks Like25:04 – How to Choose the Right Practitioner After an Injury29:09 – Why the Same Injuries Keep Coming Back and What to Do About It34:18 – Virtual Form Assessments and What They Change for Clients37:54 – Francesca's Final Advice: Start Where You Are and Let Movement LeadCheck out the full show notes and other resources athttps://www.getsculpted.ca/getsculptedpodcast/movement-is-medicineSend us Fan MailLet’s stay connected!Apply to work with us at getsculpted.ca/contactWant more from the Get Sculpted crew?
