Our guest today is an expert on something many of us experience and deal with - especially as we start to get a little older - pain.  We need to note right away.  This show is NOT medical advice.  You should always check with your doctor or care provider any time you are dealing with pain or trying different activities to deal with pain.   Rick Olderman brings a unique and holistic perspective on dealing with pain.  Struggling with his of issues of managing pain for patients, he began to study different methods and ways of addressing pain.  As he learned more, he recognized that many people treated pain by looking at a "component".  Rick advocated for a more comprehensive "system" method for addressing pain.  He has written a series of books targeting common pain areas, and he has developed programs to help professionals that engage folks that have pain.  A very interesting conversation.  Find more at rickolderman.com.  Rick offered 20% off programs by using the code FIXINGYOU.
