The Female Body in Motion: Stress, Hormones, and Healing
Have you ever wondered why recovery feels harder at certain times—or why stress seems to linger in your body long after the workout is done? At Movement Driven, we know women often juggle careers, families, and fitness while putting their own needs last. The result? Stress, hormonal shifts, and unique anatomical factors that can impact performance and healing.
In this episode of The Movement Driven Podcast, The Female Body in Motion: Stress, Hormones, and Healing, Dr. Greg Goldberger, PT, DPT, and guest Elza van Niekerk dive deep into how women’s bodies respond to stress, training, and recovery. From cycle syncing and hormone fluctuations to knee health and pelvic stability, they break down why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work—and what strategies women can use to recover smarter and train stronger.
