Why We Need Each Other: Lessons from a Physical Therapist

Katharine and Seth sit down this week with David Dockswell, a seasoned physical therapist based in South Florida. Katharine serendipitously met David and his wife Randie on a hike near Black Mountain and they shared a wonderful conversation that led to this podcast. David shares his wisdom as a multi-decade physical therapist who has worked with people from all walks of life. He has learned so much about what makes people tick, what motivates them, and how to help not only his patients, but their families. After listening to this, you may just have a newfound gratitude for the little things you might have taken for granted in your physical life - like walking! He has so much to share and is such a wonderful person to talk to - we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it! And if you did, please consider subscribing or leaving us a written review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Thanks so much and see you all next Thursday!
