Hi, and welcome to Talk about Pain, a podcast for people with stubborn or chronic pain who are looking for answers. I’m Rick Olderman, physical therapist for about 25 years, hanna somatics practitioner, pilates instructor, personal trainer, author and sports and orthopedic physical therapy clinic owner. I specialize in helping people with difficult pain problems. On this podcast, I’m not interested in recycling old outdated material. I want to introduce fresh ideas that likely aren’t widely known, a lot of them my own, but also from other health or wellness practitioners who are in the trenches doing the work of really helping people. It’s straightforward talk about pain, what works and what doesn’t. We get to the point here, which is to help you with your pain. Please subscribe to my podcast. And if there’s something you’d like to talk about or someone you’d like me to chat with who’s helped you, drop me a line. Chances are it’ll help others too.

Master Craniosacral Therapist Jeremy Quinby
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
I interview master therapist, Jeremy Quinby, who has been an Integrative Health Specialist for nearly 25 years. In 2014 he became involved in numerous projects across the country exploring better care delivery, vetted local health networks, and the development of a health improvement system as an alternative to our current system of managing care. The Highway to Health Podcast was born out of this, an extension to his 20 year career helping individuals and families become healthier in their day to day lives. His intention, which will be more clear after listening, is to broaden the view of what we call health, to educate, and to encourage all of us to build a healthier, more connected world around ourselves.
