Strength Resurgence Podcast
A podcast helping others learn the science and art of coming back stronger from injuries, and how to prevent them, too!
With the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that up to one-third of all humans are living with some form of chronic, musculoskeletal pain, learning a few techniques to combat these aches and pains can go a long way!
Join me, Jim (a physical therapist and strength & conditioning specialist) as I discuss various topics pertaining to living a stronger, healthier life filled with less pain and greater quality of life. From scientific principles and anecdotal experiences, to sharing stories of others persevering through and overcoming orthopedic pain, this podcast aims to inform and inspire you with taking action towards waging the war on pain and dysfunctions that can arise within the body.
The Strength Resurgence podcast is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a chance at crafting their comeback story and that pain shouldn't get the last word. Whether you're curious to learn a bit more about the body, living a healthier lifestyle, or looking to reclaim your physical health, it is my hope that this podcast allows you to gain the confidence and inspiration needed to take action and join others who believe that their comeback matters...and that it's theirs for the taking!

Injuries, physical pain, and conditions that adversely affect the human body are an inevitable part of life; there's no getting around any of this. And while the body can often do a surprisingly remarkable job at healing itself, therapeutic injury rehabilitation exercises play a critical role in helping to promote and optimize healing for what has been injured or affected.
Whether it's therapeutic exercise to help injured muscle tissue, improve tendon health, decrease nerve sensitivity, increase cardiovascular health, or the other near-infinite scenarios in which therapeutic exercise can be utilized, it's critical to realize that the right approach (including mindset) to exercise can yield significantly better results to your overall health and well-being.
This is especially true for the times when we must take an active role in our recovery pursuits, often through performing exercises on our own such as when at home or in the gym; not everyone has access to a team of healthcare professionals at their disposal. And when this is the case, it's essential to have therapeutic exercises and movements that we can perform repeatedly on our own. Every case and situation is, of course, different, however, many principles remain the same as to how this is best carried out.
