Send us Fan MailEpisode 146 of the Joint Dynamics Podcast brings in Hong Kong Medical Stalwart Dr David Owens. Dr Owens is a Leeds-trained physician, Hong Kong practicing Doctor since 1988, co-founder of OT&P (in Hong Kong), and Chief Medical Officer for Hong Kong China Rugby Union. In this thoughtful conversation Joint Dynamics Podcast host Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics and Dr Owens trace the evolution of medicine from disease‑focused diagnosis to truly health‑centred care, and what decades on the rugby sideline have taught David about injury, resilience, and prevention.They dive into modern chronic disease as “lifestyle and accelerated aging”, why exercise (especially strength work) often outperforms medication, and how rugby has shifted from contact sport to high‑speed collision science with fully audited concussion protocols. Then they tackle Zone 2 cardio—what it really is (and isn’t), why and how influencers often oversell it, how to balance easy aerobic work with heavy lifting and high‑intensity training, and what the “Four S’s” (strength, speed, stamina, suppleness) mean for your long‑term health.Show sponsor is Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com and use the code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms such as Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi, and Turkey tail functional mushroomsEnjoyHere are some useful links for this podcasthttps://www.otandp.com/our-practitioners/dr-david-owensLinked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-owens-93259aa9/Relevant episodesEpisode 143 - Regenerative Medicine with Dr Tommy Rhee of Rheegen - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-143-regenerative-medicine-with-dr-tommy-rhee/id1527374894?i=1000743792230JOINT DYNAMICS links:Joint Dynamics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JointDynamicsHongKong/Joint Dynamics Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/jointdynamics/Joint Dynamics Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQZplKxZMSvtc6LxM5WckwJoint Dynamics Website - www.jointdynamics.com.hk Host - Andrew Cox - https://www.jointdynamics.com.hk/the-team/trainers/andrew-cox
