Physical therapist Dr. Stephanie Duffey joins me to explore why so many of us put up with pain and what a PT sees that we often miss. We talk about muscle tension, mobility limitations, trigger points, and the mind–body connection, and how these small signals affect the way we move and show up in our daily lives. This episode gives you an inside look at how physical therapy helps identify tension patterns, explains what your body is trying to tell you, and offers a clearer understanding of why feeling your best starts with awareness. If you’ve been ignoring discomfort or settling for “fine,” this conversation will help you rethink how you care for your body.
