Working Out While Injured: Red Flag? Or Self-Care?

Is it bad to work out when you're injured? I've been seeing this floating around as a red flag for a "bad" or "disordered" relationship with exercise and we need to talk about it. Long story short: don't think it is, depending on the context. Long story long: listen to the episode. There are ways to do it well and not so much... On this episode I talk about: Why nuance and context matter, and why we need to stop internalizing advice from an IG post that wasn't meant for us. The problem with all-or-nothing thinking in the fitness industry. Physical therapy & how it can help you recover from an injury. Why your personal trainer is NOT the same as a physical therapist. The benefits of rest & how to rest the injured part of you without resting all of you. Why "go hard" and "go home" are two different flavors of the same shit sandwich. Ways to find the in-between and work with your body instead of fighting it. The fact that it's ok to NOT perpetually be chasing improvement. So many other great things!
