What if everything you know about pain is wrong?

On today’s show, I speak with Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald, co-authors of the groundbreaking book, “Pain & Performance: The Revolutionary New Way to Use Training as Treatment for Pain and Injury.”

Here are the questions I asked:

Let’s talk about your new book. The tagline is captivating – “What if everything you know about pain is wrong?” Can you give our listeners a glimpse into this new perspective that you bring to the table?

Can you share a bit about the inspiration behind developing this method?

Ryan, your journey as the son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey adds a unique layer to the book. How has your approach evolved through your experiences and shaped the insights you share in “Pain & Performance”?

Matt, it’s evident that your approach is rooted in real-world experience. Can you briefly outline the key benefits athletes can expect from adopting the “Training as Treatment” method?

Can you share any personal anecdotes or success stories that highlight the impact of your method?

How does the book cater to a wide audience, from elite athletes to recreational fitness enthusiasts? Are the principles applicable across different sports and activity levels?

And finally, where can our audience purchase the book?

Thank you, Ryan and Matt, for being on the show!
