Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

Mastering Physical Literacy with Dr. Chris Raynor, MD

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr. Chris Raynor, orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist, and founder of Human 2.0, an integrated healthcare and fitness facility in Ottawa that holds a “Movement Is Medicine” philosophy.

Sarah and Chris discuss how he managed to avoid surgeon stereotypes, why avoiding pain at all costs is not the answer, how to determine if surgery is the right approach, PLUS your Instagram questions answered!

• The difference between discomfort and pain, our tendencies to interpret all pain the same way, and the need to better interpret this “low level language” to make better movement choices
• Whether myofascial manual techniques are really making as much difference as we think they are
• How and when he steers patients away from surgery and towards strength and mobility work instead
• The frustrations he faces with non-musculoskeletal doctors who instill fear of movement in their patients through their own lack of knowledge
• How the conservative world of orthopedic surgeons is slowly changing with the newer generations to emphasize mobility and strength for themselves and their patients
