Tailbone pain? DocJen and Dr. Dim dive into the diagnosis for tailbone pain and all the potential causes. Diving into the current research comparing surgical and conservative treatments, they speak into how you can mobilize and treat your tailbone pain at home! Let’s dive in!

⁠⁠Adapting High Intensity for Every Body⁠⁠. DocJen, a doctor of physical therapy, and Jill Miller, a Myofascial expert, come together to bridge the gap between post-rehabilitation and highly functional fitness. Your PT isn’t gonna teach this to you once you finish your rehab and your coach may not have the kinesiological tools to regress speed/intensity/intervals to a level that’s beneficial for your longevity. Who better than Jen and Jill to share with you the Science of Rolling & HIIT and best practices tailored for YOU! This program combines decades of clinical and industry expertise in the worlds of Physical Therapy, mobility, fascia science, HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and regeneration in a mash-up that helps bodies at any age and stage of injury or fitness to prepare their bodies for a successful high-intensity fitness program.
