In 2013, a seemingly routine ankle sprain during a football game transformed into a chronic issue, causing him four years of persistent pain. Despite consulting various rehabilitation professionals and undergoing surgery, the journey to recovery was just beginning, as compensatory movement patterns triggered unexpected hip and back pain post-operation. Faced with this struggle, Greg realized the necessity of delving deeper into understanding his body to escape the persistent pain. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Kinesiology, and a Masters in Physical Therapy from McGill University, Greg's quest for knowledge extended beyond the classroom, encompassing extensive self-study, attending courses, and learning from diverse perspectives. Implementing a comprehensive approach, Greg addressed root causes and environmental factors, gradually restructuring his body and ultimately experiencing a pain-free life. Now, through his platform "From the Ground Up," Greg aspires to guide individuals on their own journeys of self-discovery and health. His mission extends beyond mere pain relief, aiming to empower others to thrive in their everyday lives. To Greg, injuries are not just a process of recovery; they represent an opportunity for discovery, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the body, fostering improved efficiency, enhanced performance, and the unlocking of untapped potential. Connect with Greg Stern:Website: https://rebuild.groundupphysio.com/freebie--e8d2f (freebie) Instagram: http://instagram.com/groundupphysio Facebook: http://facebook.com/groundupphysio About Jenny Cohen:Jenny C.
