My guest on this episode is Dr. Rick Olderman.

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.

Rick has written the popular Fixing You® series of books -- found on Amazon.com -- to help people with chronic pain or injuries. More recently, Rick has created downloadable video home programs to help people solve pain from head to toe. These programs include his pioneering approach that has helped solve hundreds of cases of chronic pain at his clinic for the last 10 years.

Rick has a new book, Solving the Pain Puzzle, coming out in 2023 and has posted a few chapters from that book on his website, www.rickolderman.com, where people can also pre-order his book and find his home programs as well as other free stuff.

Rick is one of the top professionals in the U.S. when it comes to understanding recurring injuries and chronic musculoskeletal pain. He wants to enhance quality of life by helping people fix their pain once and for all.

In this episode, Rick and I talk about a variety of pain-related topics including the causes of acute and chronic pain, why current treatments for pain aren’t effective, and tools and exercises that you can use in your everyday life and in work to minimize pain.

We also talk about Rick’s current approach to addressing patients' pain — which involves a philosophy that he’s developed over the past several years using information from a variety of sources in the field of physical therapy. I found Rick’s approach to be novel, intuitive but also based in anatomy, physiology, and the science of pain.
