Stop Asking ChatGPT About Your Knee with Dr. Remi Onifade, PT, DPT
Your knees didn't "just get old" — and Googling your symptoms may be making it worse. In this episode of The Pain Relief University, host Arthur Toole sits down with Dr. Remi Onifade, PT, DPT — a physical therapist and co-owner of Team Rehab West End in Atlanta — to unpack why everyday aches show up in our 30s, 40s, and 50s, and what actually brings relief. Dr. Remi explains what physical therapists — the "doctors of movement" — really do, why self-diagnosing with Google or ChatGPT is so risky, and how movement itself is one of the most underrated ways to prevent chronic knee, back, hip, and even jaw and pelvic-floor pain. You'll also hear how "direct access" lets you see a PT without a doctor's referral in many states, when surgery might be avoidable, why recovery stalls when you skip your at-home work, and how she uses natural, plant-based topicals in her clinic alongside hands-on care.
