In this episode of Behind the Sports Medicine, Dr. Kai Mithoefer joins host Andrew Rizza to explore the multifaceted world of work-related injuries. Framing injured workers as “industrial athletes,” Dr. Mithoefer discusses the psychological and physical components of recovery, the importance of individualized rehab, and the critical role of communication among all stakeholders in patient care.

You’ll also hear about Dr. Mithoefer’s personal journey into orthopedics, his philosophy on building trust with patients, and how a supportive environment can empower recovery and return-to-work success.
