Rehab Purgatory & Why You Are Not Advancing

In today's episode, Dr. Gurule is discussing what is referred to as “Rehab Purgatory”. Which is when someone gets locked up and stuck in an element of needing to be able to achieve a set of goals before being able to work out, train, or return to regular fitness and exercise routines.

This is a critical conversation that Dr. Gurule has with many of his injured patients, but even more importantly with chronic pain patients who feel like they're kind of stuck in this loop of not getting better.
