What if everything you thought about injury rehab, performance, and recovery was dead wrong?

On this electrifying episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with Mike Stella, ATC—renegade athletic trainer, movement expert, founder of Movement Underground, and outspoken critic of traditional rehab models. Known for his game-changing mantra, “We don’t change tissue; we change movement,” Mike is flipping the script on how we think about healing and performance.

But this philosophy wasn’t born in a lab—it was forged through pain. A career-ending knee injury, a single-parent home without resources, and a system that left him behind inspired Mike’s relentless pursuit of answers. From a high school trainer who changed his life to working with elite athletes like the Florida Gators, Mike refused to accept mediocre results and built a recovery method rooted in function, intuition, and results—not insurance billing.

We dive into:

• Why most modern rehab protocols fail
• The myth of linear recovery and the truth about plateaus and flares
• How burnout, overtraining, and perfectionism sabotage high-performers
• Red flags in the wellness industry and the danger of influencer-driven advice
• Building a sustainable, relationship-driven practice that prioritizes quality care

If you’re a healthcare provider, athlete, coach, therapist, or simply tired of the cookie-cutter “rest and ice” approach, this episode will challenge everything you know—and leave you questioning the status quo.

Don’t miss this raw, real, and radically honest conversation with one of rehab’s true revolutionaries.

This isn’t just another long weekend. This is Memorial Day. And this episode will stop you in your tracks.

When Staff Sgt. Bryan Black was killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger, the ripple effect didn’t end with his final breath. A soldier’s death doesn’t just take a life—it shatters a family, echoes through a community, and leaves a silence that never truly fades.

On this Memorial Day, we sit down with Michelle Black, a Gold Star widow turned truth-seeker and author of Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow’s Fight for the Truth. What began as a love story on a snowy mountain turned into a national headline, a political controversy, and ultimately, a mother’s relentless mission to honor her husband’s legacy and expose the truth behind his death.

Michelle’s story is a gripping journey through unimaginable loss, government spin, and the courage it takes to speak out when others would rather you stay silent. This conversation is not about politics—it’s about truth, service, sacrifice, and the very real cost of freedom that we need to honor on this day.

Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. It’s not about BBQs, sales, telling a Veteran “Thank you for your service” or three-day getaways. It’s about remembering those who laid down their lives—and the families who carry that weight every day.

If you’ve ever needed a reason to stop and reflect, this is it. Take the hour. Learn Bryan’s story. Hear Michelle’s voice. Say their names. Remember their sacrifice. Because the freedoms we enjoy were paid for in blood—and that’s worth more than a moment of silence.

Listen now. Share it. And never forget why this day exists.
