When a debilitating back injury derailed Jesse Prescott’s<\/strong> athletic endeavours more than a decade ago, he became obsessed with understanding the root causes of pain. What followed was a journey into the inner workings of movement and performance and a career teaching others how to overcome pain through his corrective manual therapy practice and strength coaching.<\/p>\n

Soon, Jesse was working with some of the world’s fastest runners in the distance-running hotbed of Flagstaff, Ariz. constantly tweaking and improving his strength programming for the needs of runners. Through this, combined with his manual therapy practice, he’s been able to help runners overcome years of chronic pain and vicious injury cycles, and The Robust Human project was born.<\/p>\n

Today, Jesse joins the show to share his unique approach to pain management and his strength training philosophy, which he believes are at the heart of helping runners of all abilities get healthy, stay healthy and bring out the best performances of their careers.<\/p>\n
