It’s a Signaling Problem: Garrett Salpeter on Faster Recovery (TPS635)

How did Thanh get his arm from 20 degrees to 90 in a single session, just days after shoulder surgery? His surgeon expected that to take more than a month of physical therapy. The answer has less to do with the shoulder than you might think.

In this encore episode, Thanh sits down with Garrett Salpeter, founder of NeuFit, to talk about why the body sometimes gets in the way of its own healing, and what it takes to get it unstuck. Whether you’re coming back from an injury, trying to get more out of your workouts, or just can’t afford to be sidelined for months, this conversation might change how you think about recovery.
