Episode notes

We’ve got a great show ahead of us. Today we are going to learn about Physical fitness from our guest, our sister from another mister, Dr Theresa Larson - why physical fitness is important, what are some best practices, what exercise does for our minds and bodies… that mind body connection…  and also what happens if we neglect our bodies and don’t remain active. So Get ready more great wisdom coming your way!

Dr. Theresa Larson (aka “Dr. T”) has become one of the healthcare and fitness world’s most sought after experts on movement health. Dr. Larson earned her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Saint Augustine in San Diego, CA. A former Marine Corps Engineer Officer and Combat Veteran, Theresa also played professional softball in Italy as well as semi-professional softball in the United States, was an All- American Division I softball player at Villanova University, as well as a former Body-for-Life Champion.

Theresa founded Movement Rx with her husband in 2013 in order to break free from the limitations that traditional physical therapy puts on practitioners and patients. The result was a company where skilled practitioners can authentically treat patients with the time, care, and movement education they deserve.

Dr. Larson is determined to deliver movement & mindset health to as many people as possible with her team, including adaptive athletes as she is an adaptive athlete herself. She is a motivational speaker for companies, helping individuals and teams understand that change is possible and leadership starts within

That all said, much like Will is family to me, so is Theresa… she’s a Woman on a mission, living life in the NOW, mother of 2 beautiful boys, wife to Per, adventurer, and someone who loves space and quiet.
