Less Pain, More Gain with Par5PT's Dr. Paul Kochoa, Ep. 120

Today’s guest looks beyond physical health in his practice as a doctor of physical therapy and board-certified orthopedic specialist working each day to get active adults back to doing the things they love to do without pain meds, injections, or surgery; even if they've tried PT before.  Dr. Paul Kochoa says, “My mission is to change how people think about physical therapy - that it's more than the traditional medical model.  We can create change with proper treatment and correction, assessing the whole body and working to 100% of a person's goals, and not just be pain-free.” We talk: -Getting to the root of pain -Finding ways to excel in #physicalhealth without pain meds or surgery -Niches like #pickleball -A path that started nowhere near #physicaltherapy & how you needn’t stress about being in your ‘long-term’ career by college graduation! Paul went back for his doctorate many years later…  **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. Here we talk to individuals who are doing just that, individuals from all walks of life and industries.  Something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you needn’t be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.  I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.** How appropriate that October is #NationalPhysicalTherapyMonth!
