Part 7/13:
The conversation traverses various physical activities—running, swimming, martial arts, and recovery techniques like dry needling and massage. The speaker emphasizes that injuries like broken bones or joint wear are opportunities to deepen understanding of one’s body. They highlight the importance of knowing how to heal, which feeds directly into more effective training and injury prevention.
In particular, their own extensive injury history—including multiple broken ankles, hips, and knees—serves as a basis for developing movement protocols that are low-impact but effective. They advocate for training that emphasizes longevity, efficiency, and injury mitigation, such as barefoot running on soft surfaces and pool-based exercises that eliminate joint stress.
