Summary
In this episode, physical therapist, yoga teacher, and author Dr Marcia is joined by strength trainers Coach Rich and Dr Jen Hosler. We explore what it means to be a provider for people instead of chasing profit, and how this divestment from predatory capitalist practices and savior complexes is beneficial for everyone. Dr Marcia and Dr Jen commiserate on the pitfalls of physical therapy school and Coach Rich shares his professional journal as a strength coach who couldn’t find his place in the PT profession. They also speak of their experiences as patients and working to get more connection with their own bodies.
