Does losing weight help pain and mobility? with Danny Shapiro, PT

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Dalina Soto and Melissa Landry interview Danny Shapiro, Physical Therapist to set the record straight on the relationship between weight, pain, and mobility.

Many of our clients fear weight will hold them back from being fit and enjoying life. When they decide to stop focusing on weight loss for their mental and emotional health, they can feel worried: what will that mean for their physical health over the years? Are they doomed to a life of pain and immobility? Especially if they gain weight?

If you have ever struggled with similar fears, but you still want to break the diet cycle - this episode is for you.

Danny will show you how to approach your aches and pains without a side of diet culture - so you can feel confident in improving your body's physical ability and feel your best at any size.

Danny talks us through why - and how - he teaches physical self-care (instead of weight loss) to improve the physical wellbeing of his clients, and how you can do this too!

In today’s episode we discuss:

• what your doctor may have wrong in prescribing weight loss to treat pain
• common problem areas like knee and hip pain- are they related to weight gain? what can you do about it?
• what to do when pain or mobility issues trigger negative body image and harmful dieting behaviors
