This month, we’re joined by Dr. Najib Ussef, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with expertise in sports medicine and general orthopedics. With a deep understanding of joint health and injury prevention, Dr. Ussef works with patients of all ages to help them stay active, recover from injuries, and avoid common pitfalls that come with jumping back into fitness — especially at the start of a new year.
Dr. Ussef shares his journey into orthopedic sports medicine and offers practical, evidence-based advice for anyone looking to build a sustainable, injury-free workout routine. We talk about the most common mistakes people make when returning to exercise, how to recognize early warning signs of overuse or strain, and how joint health evolves with age.
