Doug Bertram of Structural Elements Talks Our Connective Tissue’s Effect on Physical Health, Orthopedic Wellness, and Seeing the Opportunity Over the Obstacle

This week on the podcast we sit down with Doug Bertram, the CEO of Structural Elements. Structural Elements has been treating orthopedic conditions for over twenty years. With three locations in the USA, the company was founded on the idea that better orthopedic care exists. Instead of treating symptoms alone, they look at the body from the ground up. On this episode we have a fascinating conversation with Doug about his personal journey and all things orthopedic wellness. We also discuss fascia, connective tissue’s effects on global health, the parasympathetic nervous system, the connection between posture in relation to physical illness, and why some people recover from injury, while others do not.  To learn more about Doug and Structural Elements you can visit: https://www.structuralelements.com or follow on instagram @structuralelements Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!
