Posture, Play, and Prevention w/ Roger Blandford :: Ep 84 The Lyndsay Stafford Show

On this episode of The Lyndsay Stafford Show, Lyndsay sits down with Roger Blandford, a certified physician assistant in orthopedic urgent care at Bone and Joint, a leading sports medicine resource in Williamson County and beyond. With more than three decades in sports medicine and athletic training, Roger explains what most people misunderstand about injuries, overuse, youth sports, and everyday pain. He shares how to recognize when something is truly urgent, why kids are especially vulnerable to overlooked fractures, and how today’s “more is better” youth sports culture is driving a surge in preventable injuries. Roger also offers clear, practical guidance for both parents and active adults, including: How to tell when an injury needs immediate orthopedic care Why year-round single-sport specialization increases injury risk and burnout The simple posture and workstation changes that protect your neck, shoulders, and back Two key habits—stretching and consistent movement—that can help you stay active and potentially avoid surgery later in life Finally, Roger looks ahead at the future of orthopedics and sports medicine, from biologics and stem cells to peptides, and what still needs to happen before these treatments become mainstream. Whether you’re a parent of a young athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who spends long hours at a computer, this episode will give you actionable strategies to prevent injury, support recovery, and stay in the game for the long haul.
