Mikaela welcomes her long time physical therapist and close friend Regan Dewhirst for a deep and honest conversation about injury, trust, recovery, communication, and what really happens behind the scenes of elite ski racing. Regan shares how her philosophy has evolved from reactive treatment to a proactive, collaborative performance model built around load management, tissue adaptation, breath work, and the daily details that keep Mikaela healthy. The two talk candidly about injury uncertainty, skiing through fear, rebuilding trust in the body, and navigating some of the most challenging chapters of Mikaela’s career. They also laugh through childhood memories, race day rituals, and the small habits that make big differences. It is a grounded, insightful, and often emotional look at the partnership that supports Mikaela’s performance on the mountain.
