In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" interviews Rick Olderman, a physical therapist with a unique perspective on chronic pain and injuries. Rick shares his journey from struggling to help clients with chronic pain in his early career to developing a holistic approach to addressing these issues. He explains how he transitioned from traditional methods of diagnosing and treating damaged tissues to focusing on understanding why tissues become damaged in the first place.
Rick's approach highlights the importance of viewing the body as a system and how various factors contribute to chronic pain. He discusses the limitations of component-based treatments in the medical field and how his method shifts the focus to understanding the body's systemic issues.
He describes a simple but revealing test for back pain that helps individuals identify their patterns of dysfunction. By evaluating the difference in discomfort between lying with legs straight versus knees bent, he demonstrates how common habits like standing and walking can contribute to pain. Rick emphasizes that his method empowers individuals to take control of their healing process through understanding their body's mechanics and making conscious changes to their habits.
Rick also mentions his "Fixing You" series of books and downloadable home programs that provide valuable insights and practical solutions for addressing chronic pain issues. The podcast concludes with a discussion about the universality of Rick's approach and how it's changing the way people approach and solve their chronic pain problems.
