ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Pain, Plasticity & Performance: How Rehab Actually Works with Dr. Todd Riddle
Why do some rehab programs fail to produce lasting results — while others help patients rebuild strength, resilience, and performance?
In this episode of the FAKTR Podcast, we take a deep dive into the science behind effective rehabilitation.Building on the framework discussed in Part 1 of this series, Dr. Todd Riddle explores what is actually happening inside the body when rehabilitation is done correctly — from tissue healing and fascia mechanics to neurological adaptation and neuroplasticity.
You’ll learn how progressive loading, sensory input, and movement-based interventions influence the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and overall recovery process.
If you’re a clinician, student, or healthcare professional working in rehab, sports medicine, or human performance, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of how rehab truly works — and why progression and load management are essential for long-term outcomes.
