Movement Is Medicine: Preventing Pain at Work and in Training | ExxcelênciaCast EP.4

Sitting all day, training hard at night, and ignoring the warning signs can eventually turn discomfort into pain affecting work, performance, and everyday life. In this episode of **ExxcelênciaCast**, Thiago Rodrigues talks with **Karolina Brunner**, an Orthopedic and Sports Physiotherapist, about the connection between workplace health, physical activity, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: • Why sitting is not necessarily the problem — staying still for too long is • How work and training demands can overload the same body • Why capacity must increase before training load increases • How physiotherapy can help before an injury becomes serious • The connection between ergonomics, movement, and injury prevention • Why core strength matters at work and in sports • What athletes and workers should understand about pain and recovery • How different sports require different physical capacities 📌 **Movement is not only about performance. It is part of maintaining the body's capacity to work, train, and recover.** The conversation covers workplace ergonomics, lower-back and shoulder pain, strength training, mobility, injury prevention, sports physiotherapy, myofascial release, electrical stimulation, martial arts, manual material handling, core training, footwear, and rehabilitation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 When should pain become a warning sign? 03:25 Sitting vs. staying still 07:57 Preparing the body before increasing the load 10:54 Capacity vs. demand and injury risk 12:46 Preventive physiotherapy 22:42 Why movement matters in rehabilitation 25:52 Different sports, different physical demands 30:35 Manual handling, strength, and core training 33:28 When to seek professional help 39:20 Why respecting rehabilitation matters ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ EXXCELÊNCIA SOLUÇÕES EMPRESARIAIS Host: Thiago Rodrigues Guest: Karolina Brunner Executive Producer: Milena Sousa ✨ Sponsored by: CCPR | Karolina Brunner
