If you’ve been following my blog for a while, or you’ve read my What Would a Caveman Do? post, then you’ll quickly recognize why I like “plogging,” and had something to share with this reporter for nbcnews.com
I'm a retired orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. I practiced general orthopedic surgeon in Austin for 36 yrstd and have a pretty good idea of the things we're doing to cause pain and injury. As a competitive horseback rider, and a female athlete, I also have personal experience with injuries and the musculoskeletal problems associated with aging. I talk frankly about various conditions, and how you can prevent a lot of injuries, deal with pain and slow down the degenerative processes which will happen as we age.
