    #8 - Jeff Beran | Treating Pain, Lifting Heavy, and Being a Better Coach

    Jeff Beran is my physical therapist and one of the foremost experts on the neuro-centric approach to injury rehab. He loves to intertwine actual strength training into his rehab protocols as he believes in working through injury rather than completely detraining the body.    We chat about his background, current practice, and the melding of the strength coach and physical therapist as one team working together rather than two independents.
