Dr. Mike Wasilisin of MoveU joins Line Up with PHITPD to discuss misalignments that may be hurting you and what to do about it. Dr. Mike talks about his visit to the police academy to examine one of the biggest challenges facing recruits and veteran first responders: keeping their bodies healthy for the entire career.

We break down common shoulder, knee, and back injuries, his experience helping injured officers and firefighters during the 2025 San Diego fires, and the “Move Your Sh*t” philosophy of taking ownership of your health. The goal isn’t just to survive the academy or the job—it’s to stay strong, mobile, and capable enough to enjoy life long after the uniform comes off.
