Katie Dabrowski returns to Coach 'Em Up to discuss training, rehabilitation, and the growth of Old Bull Athletics with Tim Riley.

Katie shares insights on hiring practices at her expanding business, the crucial connection between metabolic health and musculoskeletal pain, and practical strategies for integrating cardio into rehabilitation programs. The conversation explores how to help clients overcome resistance to cardiovascular training, navigate societal pressures around body image (especially for women), and develop a healthier relationship with pain and injury.

Katie emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition in client experiences, managing complex pain conversations without alienating clients, and promoting realistic expectations about pain as a normal part of being human. She also addresses common misconceptions around training and injury, discussing how fear of getting hurt often prevents people from exercising, when inactivity actually poses greater health risks.

Get actionable advice on coaching diverse movement styles without demonizing client preferences, and discover Katie's approach to physical therapy that empowers clients rather than creating dependency.

Tim Riley sits down with physical therapist Caroline Packard to tackle a topic that's often overlooked but impacts millions: pelvic floor health. Caroline shares her journey from personal struggle to becoming a specialist in the field, offering insights that go far beyond the common advice to "just do Kegels."

Caroline breaks down why pelvic floor dysfunction affects so many women (and men), why it's commonly misunderstood by medical professionals, and provides practical approaches to rehabilitation that consider the entire body. Learn why "common doesn't mean normal" when it comes to issues like leakage and prolapse, and discover how proper breathing techniques and body awareness can transform your core function.

This episode isn't just for those experiencing symptoms - coaches, trainers, and anyone working with postpartum women will gain valuable knowledge on recognizing and addressing these often-ignored issues.
