Pain Doesn't Stay In The Body

Most men think the pain is theirs alone. It isn't. It moves into the house, and everyone in it starts living around it.

Peter sits down with Josh Gordon, owner of Relax and Get Results, who worked on Peter's own recovery after spinal surgery a couple of years ago. 26 years in practice, four offices, clients ranging from UFC fighters and NFL players to people in their 90s still doing CrossFit. They get into what untreated pain does to a man's mood and then to his family, why so many men wait until they can't move, the day Josh found out what his hands could do while his mother was dying, and the real reason a lot of men actually book the hour.
