The Issue With Your Soft Tissue (Pain, Recovery & Injury Prevention)

Описание: Many people treat pain as a skeletal issue — blaming bones, joints, or posture — without realizing that unresolved soft tissue restrictions are often the real root cause. In this conversation, Ted explains how muscles, fascia, and scar tissue directly impact movement, recovery, and long-term joint health.
They explore why rest and recovery are not the same thing, how scar tissue forms after injury or surgery, and how stress becomes stored in the body — often showing up as pain, tightness, or restricted range of motion. The episode also dives into why preventative soft tissue work is not a luxury, but a necessary part of sustainable wellness and injury prevention.
Whether you’re an athlete, desk worker, or simply living in a high-stress body, this episode will help you better understand how movement, recovery, and intentional care work together to support long-term health.
