If you’re in New York and think you might have an injury, consider stopping by Karena’s practice to say hello! Otherwise, take care of yourself and see a doctor or physical therapist if you need treatment – that’s the best way to fix it for good.
Great episode! Important discussion. You beat me to it – I’d been thinking of getting a PT on my show! I call dibs on Podiatrists!
Haha you got it Brian, Podiatrists are all yours!
