In this episode, I sit down with John Benjamin, founder and CEO of Rally, and Dr. Dan Giordano, founder of Bespoke Physical Therapy, to talk about recovery, pain management, and how to take better care of our bodies. We discuss how tools like massage and physical therapy can support muscle recovery, mobility, and injury prevention, plus why consistency matters more than chasing the latest wellness trends.
