    #19 Chiropractic Care, with Dr. Donny Davis

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 17, 2021 76:24


    Dr. Donny Davis is a chiropractor, physical therapy assistant, and FAKTR certified provider. As a former member of Bootheel CrossFit, we were dying to get caught up on all that Dr. Don has accomplished over the past few years following his doctorate schooling and setting up shop within Hudson Chiropractic in Cape Girardeau. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about chiropractic care and how exactly it should be implemented responsibly with a movement screen and/or follow-up exercise prescription. Dr. Don gives us an insight to how he approaches screening clients, gives them the care they need, then sets them up for future success so they don't become repeat customers where it could be avoided. If you've ever considered chiropractic care, or just wondered how exactly it works, you HAVE to give this one a listen! Follow Dr. Donny Davis on Instagram: @thefightchiro, TikTok: @drdondavis, or find him on Facebook.

He digs into training for hypertrophy vs. strength, how they benefit each other, and when one or the other would be applicable to where you currently are in your lifting journey. And in typical fashion of all three hosts today, we spend a good chunk of time rambling on about nonsense. You'll have to stick around to the end to hear our weekly dad joke, sorry!
