Welcome to another episode of Health Raisers, Wise Women! Today, my guest is Rebecca Gardner-Reilly, founder of Mobilitywise and a dedicated physical therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults stay active and pain-free as they age. Inspired by her father’s resilience after a life-changing injury and her mother’s compassionate caregiving, Rebecca is passionate about optimizing movement and joint health. In 2024, she launched her full-time practice, offering personalized care through Physical Therapy, Manual Therapy, Fitness Training, and Dry Needling. Rebecca thrives on building one-on-one connections, problem-solving in clients’ environments, and, as a bonus, meeting their pets along the way.

Here's what we learn:

🎯 Adaptability Over Adversity: Rebecca's father taught her to stay active, proving, "You still have to move, you still have to live."

🎯 Start Where You Are: Integrate movement throughout your day—progress comes with consistency, not perfection.

🎯 Know Good vs. Bad Pain: Forget "No Pain, No Gain!" Productive soreness (24-48 hours) is normal; sharp, shooting, and burning pain means stop immediately.

🎯 Tools Aren't Weakness: Props and modifications help you stay active—find what brings you joy

🎯 Real Solutions in Real Spaces: In-home therapy creates immediate, practical solutions in clients' actual environments

🎯 The Mindset Shift: Move away from anti-aging mentalities toward acceptance and adaptation. As she puts it, "We're not going to do the same activities in our 70s as we did in our 20s, and there's nothing wrong with that." The goal isn't to fight aging but to age with grace, finding new ways to stay active and present in our lives.

🎙️ Original Podcast Music by Nadine Kelly (drums and vocals) and Tim Buell; Produced by Tim Buell
