On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Mitchell Yass, the author of the book Overpower Pain: The Strength Training Program that Stops Pain Without Drugs or Surgery. Mitchell is a licensed Physical Therapist and has spent years helping his patients avoid unnecessary drugs and surgery while freeing them from pain indefinitely. Mitchell explained that a lot of pain is caused by muscle weakness or muscle imbalance and that the right exercise can make your pain disappear. He said a lot of chronic pain is misdiagnosed as acute pain. He says that most doctors rely on x-rays or MRI’s for their initial diagnosis which then leads to an improper diagnosis and treatment plan. To learn more about his unique pain relief treatment please go to his website www.mitchellyass.com
