NBA Physio Dani Langford: How to Read Your Body

revvel CEO Jenn Heil sits down with Dani Langford — physiotherapist, kinesiologist, professional basketball player, and current manager of player rehabilitation for the Golden State Warriors — to explore how the movement and recovery principles behind elite athletes apply to women in their 40s and 50s. Dani knew at nine years old she wanted to be a physiotherapist, and she grew up in the gym as the daughter of one of Canada's most decorated women's basketball coaches. Her path to the NBA began when a mentor insisted she belonged there, a leap she first resisted as a mom of two before deciding curiosity was worth following. She and Jenn dig into why every body carries a story written by the way it moves, why an NBA star and an everyday woman begin rehabilitation in the same place.Key topics:Your body writes a story: how your desk, your sport, and old injuries create "default postures" you and why diversity of movement is the antidoteFoundational movement patterns: matching loaded vs. offloaded activity to your body's specific history (bone density, arthritis, past impact)Recovery as a non-negotiable that actually starts with daily routines, adequate protein and prioritizing protecting sleepBuilding your day with intention instead of just trying harderThe support behind great performance should not be reserved for sport. revvel gives women access to world-class experts — the kind of team most people never get.
