Inner Circle 14 - The Biggest Misunderstanding About Surgery
<p>Most people think the hard part is deciding whether or not to have surgery.</p><p>But after coaching injured lifters for more than twenty years, Rad and I have found that's often not the hard part at all.</p><p>The hard part comes afterwards.</p><p>When you've done the physical therapy.</p><p>You've had the surgery.</p><p>You've gone through the recovery.</p><p>And yet your shoulder, knee, back, or hip still doesn't feel the way you hoped it would.</p><p>This episode was inspired by a conversation I've been having with a 37-year-old woman from New Jersey who found one of our SLAP tear rehab videos on YouTube.</p><p>Her story highlights one of the biggest misunderstandings we see around surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery.</p><p>It's a lesson that has also been reinforced by surgeons we've interviewed on our podcast, including a 22-year veteran orthopedic spine surgeon who eventually cancelled his own surgery after experiencing the benefits of our UMS training.</p><p>If you're currently considering surgery, recovering from surgery, or wondering why an old injury still isn't behaving the way you'd like it to, I think you'll find this conversation valuable.</p><p>Because the operation itself may not be the most important part of the recovery process.</p><p>Click play and I'll explain what I mean.</p><p>👉 <a href="https://youtu.be/7gh2RRpktNQ?si=Y5SSFb84XqaWydMH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Watch the SLAP Tear Rehab Video</strong></a></p><p>👉 <a href="https://unitygym.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Learn More About Working With Us</strong></a><br></p>
