Your body doesn’t need a complicated reset. It needs more movement today and fewer hours spent frozen in the same position.

Amy sits down with Dr. Dan Ginader, a physical therapist and author of The Pain-Free Body, to talk about why so many pain issues stem from long stretches of stillness rather than a lack of effort. Drawing from his work in sports therapy and his one-on-one clinical practice, Dr. Dan explains how consistent movement often matters more than perfect exercise plans. Whether the goal is pain management, injury prevention, or long-term wellness, the most effective approach is choosing exercise you actually enjoy and will repeat.

The conversation brings clarity to common issues many people quietly live with. Dr. Dan explains restless leg syndrome and why symptoms tend to surface at night, unpacks how neck pain often starts in the shoulders or from poor desk setup, and reframes arthritis as a normal part of aging rather than a life-limiting diagnosis. From sports therapy and youth injury prevention to simple health tips you can use at home, the focus stays on moving more, supporting your joints with strength, and building habits that fit real life.
