Fit 05: Unconventional Ways to Transform Your Health

A daily movement practice is absolutely essential for our health and wellness, but one threat to our functional movement is injury. If you've been an athlete for any length of time, or if you are starting out by yourself, you might be familiar with the aches and pains that come when we push our physical limits. What if I told you that it didn't have to be this way? You can absolutely accomplish any fitness goal you want, injury free. I have an expert on the subject with me today, and he is going to show you not only how it is possible, but why we need to focus on moving well.  My guest, Dr. Freeborn Mondello, is no stranger to pushing physical limits. He is a former mountain biker and wrestler, and now he is running Ironman and Ultra Marathons. Freeborn is motivated by his fitness competitions, but his focus is always on treating his body right. This is because Freeborn is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and he believes in a painkiller-free approach to strengthening our muscles. Freeborn teaches his clients techniques and exercises that will build strength and alleviate pain naturally. His cutting-edge needling techniques are often used by professional athletes, and it is changing the way anyone can use their muscles. Today, Freeborn is going to describe his fitness philosophy and give us all some places to begin as we think about preventing injury and growing strong.  Our society needs to move more, but it is more important that we move well. Luckily, Freeborn is here to get us going!  Show Highlights: Hear Freeborn's background in the wellness industry.  Freeborn wants to enable people to have pain-free performance in whatever their sport they love.  How Freeborn's practice strives to stay natural and free from doctor's visits.  Freeborn is on a mission to empower and educate athletes about the power of physical therapy. Freeborn's needling process is revolutionizing the way muscles work.  How Freeborn is creating a wellness community with his practice.  Freeborn is focusing on competitions and his "why."  We all need to take a break and commit to our priorities.  Psalm 46:10 is a guiding light for us during our fitness journey.
