In this episode, we break down a common misconception in rehab and training: you’re not always weak just because something hurts. 💥

We discuss why strength alone isn’t the whole picture and explore the importance of proper positioning, neuromuscular control, and individual movement patterns.

We also talk about the limitations of generic exercises and poor assessments that miss how people move in real life. From pain relief to dynamic control, we cover how training should progress—and when to focus on power, speed, and tendon health.

Plus, we dive into alternative methods like Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training and how to tell the difference between a movement issue and a true strength deficit.

This episode is all about moving smarter, not just harder.
