In this episode, we chat with Dr. Lou Nalli of the "PinPoint Health Show" and "The Lou Down" Podcast on common injuries that nurses encounter as part of shift work.

We discuss long term solutions, the importance of a diagnosis, and things you can do to build strength and mobility. We also look at the impact of chronic physical ailments, the mind-body connection and sleep issues.

The Gritty Nurses aren't spring chickens anymore and need to take care of our bodies! Small sustainable changes are key.
