Howdy folks. Rob (DPT) from The Savage Body here. Join me as we discuss the "strong grip equals long life" research articles commonly seen on social media, the problem of mistaking correlation for causation, and how to strengthen your grip in a way that will ACTUALLY prolong your life.

Hint: its easier than you'd think.

I'm in my office all day every day, so if you have a question, I'd love to answer it. Leave a comment, make a request, DM me, or find me at my website (under construction?) at www.TheSavageBody.com.

I'm also on Facebook and IG (just like everyone else)

If you're injured, depending on passive recovery modalities (where you lie there and the therapist does things TO you) will not only delay recovery but may lead you down the path to worse and worsening symptoms.

Rob the friendly DPT reviews several research articles, letting you know how ACTIVE interventions (exercise, education, lifestyle and habit modification) are superior and why the only path to freedom requires YOU to take responsibility for your life.

OWN your injuries. Its the only way.
