53 - Rick Olderman (PT) on Pain

Rick Olderman is a sports and orthopedic physical therapist with more than 25 years experience that specializes in helping people with chronic pain experience a pain-free life. He graduated with his Master’s degree from The Krannert School of Physical Therapy at the University of Indianapolis in 1996.

Rick has written the popular Fixing You® series of books - found on Amazon - to help people with chronic pain or injuries. Rick wants to show you how to live completely pain-free.

I appreciate Rick's mission and when he asked if he could be on the show, I was more than happy to oblige.

Rick was kind enough to demonstrate an assessment live during the recording. I'm going to leave it in the podcast, but it doesn't make the best audio. If you want to see that assessment, please watch the video, linked below.

If you don't care about that but don't want to listen to it, I've made it easy to skip with time-stamps.
