#79: Dr. Katie Dabrowski on The Future of Physical Therapy: Training to Get Stronger, Not Just Pain-Free
Description
In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with Dr. Katie Dabrowski, Physical Therapist and Strength Coach from Old Bull Athletics, to break down one of the biggest misconceptions in fitness and rehab: that physical therapy and strength training should be separate.
Together, they discuss how bridging the gap between rehab and performance can help you go from pain to powerful, why the best “rehab” often looks like smart training, and how athletes and everyday lifters alike can bulletproof their bodies for the long term.
You’ll learn:
- Why traditional PT often falls short—and how to fix it
- How to train through pain safely and rebuild confidence under the bar
- The role strength training plays in long-term injury prevention and mobility
- Practical steps to integrate PT principles into your everyday workouts
Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or someone recovering from injury, this conversation will change how you think about training, recovery, and performance.
