Summary

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom welcome Dr. Kelsey Barr, a physical therapist specializing in chronic pain and fall prevention. Kelsey shares her journey from fitness to PT, inspired by working with elderly patients and those with Parkinson's disease. She discusses how chronic pain affects the nervous system, the importance of strength and balance training and exercise for aging adults, and her comprehensive approach to fall prevention, including balance training, reactive training, and body awareness. Kelsey also introduces her online program, Safe and Stable Solutions, designed to help people live safer, more independent lives through effective balance training.
