From Injury to Insight: Real Talk on Recovery, Stability & Performance

In Episode 55 of KIMEcast, Russ Dunning, MPT and Evan Hauger, DPT take you inside the real-life process of injury, recovery, and performance evolution. When Evan suffers a back injury playing pickleball, it sparks a powerful and honest discussion about how clinicians navigate their own rehab and what it teaches them.

They break down:

  • The healing timeline from acute inflammation to tissue regeneration

  • Supplements that actually help (collagen, vitamin C, magnesium, fish oil, peptides)

  • Why blunting inflammation with Advil may delay recovery

  • Dynamic stability and why it’s the missing link in injury prevention

  • How real-life injuries fuel clinical learning and innovation

  • Lessons from kettlebell training, peptide injections, and blood flow restriction

Plus, Russ shares a compelling case of a young athlete with elite strength and power—who still suffered a preventable ACL tear due to a stability deficit.

This episode is packed with practical insights, personal stories, and game-changing concepts for clinicians, athletes, and anyone navigating pain or performance.

🎧 Whether you’re a rehab professional, coach, or simply curious about what really works—you don’t want to miss this one.
