95 | Dr. Spencer Lindholm | "Pain Is the Last Thing to Arrive & the First Thing to Go"

This week we headed down to Eden Prairie, Minnesota to sit down with Dr. Spencer Lindholm, sports chiropractor and owner of Great North Athletics — and honestly, the gym space alone was worth the trip. Spencer has over a decade of experience in sports injury, rehabilitation, and performance training, and he's built his practice around one core belief: if you have a body, you're an athlete, and movement is medicine.In this episode, we get into what personalized, whole-person care actually looks like in practice — and why the traditional model of rushing people in and out the door just doesn't cut it when you're trying to figure out why someone keeps getting hurt. Spencer breaks down the most common running form issues he sees (hint: your posterior chain is probably not working as hard as you think it is), why load management errors are behind the majority of training-related injuries, and how he thinks about gait retraining without throwing your whole training plan out the window.We also talk about the real cost of skipping the basics — sleep, hydration, stress — and how no amount of red light therapy or cold plunging is going to save you if your foundation is cracked. Spencer is refreshingly direct about all of it, and brings the kind of nerdy, puzzle-solving energy that makes you want to go get a full movement assessment immediately.Whether you're a runner dealing with a nagging injury, someone who's been told "just don't do that anymore," or a practitioner trying to do better for your patients — this one is worth your time.*****Keep up with Spencer and Great North Athletics:Instagram: @greatnorthathleticsWebsite: Great North Athletics*****Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@weget2dothispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us questions/comments at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the video portion of our show at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@weget2dothis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For business information hit up the links below:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Kailee Acupuncture Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oak Endurance Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reviews go SUCH A LONG WAY and it would mean the world to us if you took a second out of your busy life to leave one :)⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠: follow the show, tap the three dots near the podcast title, then tap rate show⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠: follow the show, scroll to the bottom to Ratings and Reviews, then leave stars or write a review⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠: subscribe and drop a comment on the episodeThank you for being here.We Get 2 Do This!
