253. Movement as Medicine: The Proactive Power of Physical Therapy


Listen Later

Physical therapist Jill Marlin doesn't want to see you after you're broken – she wants to help prevent you from breaking in the first place. In this eye-opening conversation, Jill challenges the reactive approach to healthcare that's failing Americans and shares practical wisdom from her 25 years in practice.


Highlights:


  • The preventative revolution: Why you shouldn't wait for injury to see a PT (and why you don't need a doctor's prescription in 21 states)


  • The sleep secret elite athletes know: How LeBron James prioritizes 10-12 hours of sleep and why matching mental stimulation with physical movement is the key to quality rest


  • The "I Love You" massage: A simple self-massage technique that improves digestion and mobility


  • The ground test: Why your ability to get up and down from the floor predicts your lifespan


  • Posture power: How poor posture decreases lung capacity by 30% and how "power posing" for just 2 minutes can boost testosterone and reduce cortisol


Jill's approach combines cutting-edge techniques with timeless wisdom: "We're trying to medicate ourselves out of sickness, and that's not working." Instead, she advocates building a proactive wellness team and making movement an integral part of daily life – not as a chore, but as play.
