In this episode, I talk about what helps physical therapy work best for fighters like me who do Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. I explain why you need a therapist who truly knows your sport—not just someone called a “sports PT.” They should understand our moves, our training, and what our bodies go through. I warn that choosing the wrong person can slow you down or even set you back. I also share how good testing and careful check-ups build a plan that gets us back on the mats safe and strong.Key takeaways:
- Choose a physical therapist who truly understands the sport you participate in.
- A good therapist has specific testing measures that need to be implemented for combat athletes
- Be cautious of therapists whose primary focus is eliminating pain. Focus should be on the source, not the symptoms.
