Whether you're a UFC fan or not, this is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Tera Giroux (@drtera), who is the sports chiropractor at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. She has been helping people come back from (and prevent!) injuries for many years, and has a wealth of knowledge around recovery, taking care of your body and competing at the highest level.
In this conversation we discuss:
- How Tera got into working with the UFC
- What it’s like for a UFC fighter when they first get started
- How she builds trust with her clients and how you can build trust with your healthcare provider
- Mental health and body dysmorphia in professional sports
- Things you can do to mitigate risk for injury
- How to know what recovery tools are helpful and which are just junk
- and more!
