Description
Ep 14: David Skolnik is the founder and owner of Stronger in Motion and Co-Host of The Essential Strength Podcast. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, and competitive powerlifter, he has worked with a very diverse group of patients and clients for more than a decade. David has a unique perspective on the world of Physical Therapy (PT) and discusses the gaps that exist in how it fits into our modern healthcare system. In this episode he discusses the challenges PT’s and patients face and the pressure and dilemmas these challenges create for both. David discloses how these pressures led to an attempt to take his own life. We dig into the integration and application of PT and strength and conditioning, bridging the gap between healthcare and fitness, and why fitness isn’t essential in America, and how the Stronger Than Stigma movement is addressing the invisible mental health epidemic our society is faced with. Iron Sights podcast is hosted by Scott Howell. *Please make sure to leave a review if you enjoyed the podcast!
