It is how women lose strength, mobility, and years of active life. I sat down with Dr. Dan Ginader, DPT and Clinic Director of Mims Method Physical Therapy in Manhattan, to unpack the real root causes behind common aches and why movement, not rest, is almost always the answer. What we explore: - How resting after injury creates the very weakness that leads to the next one - Why pain is more often a signal of weakness than structural damage - How the Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause affects every tissue as estrogen declines - Why frozen shoulder demands a stage-based approach; forcing it only backfires - How glute weakness drives most "itises" in active women - Why the pelvic floor is the hidden key to glute activation and pain-free movement - Why it is never too late to start; it does require more consistency and patience About Dr. Dan Ginader: Dan Ginader is a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
