Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, we dive deep into the world of connective tissue with expert John Quint. What exactly is connective tissue, and how does it differ from muscle? We break down its role in force production, mobility, and overall joint health. John shares insights on the difference between flexibility and mobility, how joint function affects performance, and the impact of neurological limitations versus mechanical restrictions. Plus, we discuss common connective tissue pathologies in the hip, spine, and shoulder—and how issues in one joint can lead to injuries elsewhere. Tune in for practical assessment and treatment strategies to improve movement, prevent injuries, and train smarter!
