Episode: Ep. 351: Injury Prehab, feat. Dr. Mike Piekarski
Description: This week, we're joined again by “Doctor Kickass” Mike Piekarski: physiotherapist, BJJ black belt, online course creator, and instructor! In this episode, Mike discusses injury mitigation, or “prehab,” for grapplers. We explore how injuries commonly occur in Jiu-Jitsu through joint locks, scrambles, takedowns, and ego-driven decisions, and emphasize the importance of situational awareness, tapping culture, and coach-led environments that normalize safety.Follow Mike on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doctor_kickassGet Mike's Kinstretch courses:https://linktr.ee/doctor_kickassMental models discussed in this episode:Static vs. Dyna...
