In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Olivia Petry, chiropractor, yoga teacher, and lead singer of the Dancing Hearts Band. Olivia brings a modern, sports-based approach to women’s injury care, and we dive into so much that every active woman needs to hear.

We talk about hypermobility (which affects an estimated 10–25% of women), gender differences in injury patterns, and why so many women delay getting the care they need. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, rebuilding after an injury, or just trying to keep your body strong for the long run, this conversation will give you practical tools you can use today.

One of the biggest takeaways?
You don’t need to be “hurt badly enough” to seek help. Women often delay care because we’re used to taking care of everyone else, we’ve been dismissed by providers, or we’ve normalized high levels of pain. This episode is your sign to advocate for yourself and take a proactive approach to strength.
