On this week's episode we expand on our conversation from Episode 11 and talk about best practice around injury management, some common misconceptions about the cause of pain, and give some advice on how to handle pain in a positive manner.  P.S. Sorry but not sorry about the episode intro

Injuries and pain are an unfortunate part of life. However, they can be turned into a positive by adopting the right mindset and a little bit of knowledge. This week's episode is about how Kevin and Brendan were able to use their injuries to better their own training and health interspersed with tips and advice on how to do the same and what mindset to take if you do get injured. This week's episode is going to be the precursor to a growing theme amongst our guests and the products that we are putting out, as we have seen too many people's health and wellness get derailed by poor injury management and prevention. As always, thank you for listening and we hope you learned something from this episode. Please share it with a friend or on social media if you did!

On Episode 10 of the Blue Door Life Podcast we take a look at some common mistakes made in regards to working out and some strategies to use instead.  As always, please follow us @Blue_Door_Life and share the episode if you enjoy. Thanks!
