Liz Letchford - Legendary Trainer and Physical Therapist

The Northern California based Based Trainer is a legend in the burgeoning and growing science of human recovery, training and improvement. With a Masters Degree in Movement and Health Sciences, along with a PhD in Kinesiology, Liz has become an icon for her training and recovery methods.

In an excerpt from her website (http://www.lizletchford.com/), Liz talks about how she works with those suffering from chronic pain or injuries.

“I envisioned working with individuals whose chronic pain and nagging injuries prevented them from doing what they love. Those who had gone to specialist after specialist, receiving fancy treatments and plenty of medications, but were never invited to play an active role in their own recovery. I knew that when people are empowered with the knowledge of their own bodies, they take ownership of their healing, finally start moving better, and can get back to doing the things they love.”

In a recent interview with SVN Space (https://svnspace.com/blogs/lifestyle/cbd-oil-benefits-for-fitness-recovery), Liz talks about how cannabis has become a crucial part of her training and work.

“There is a systemic calming effect with CBD that I take advantage of whenever I am feeling anxious or recovering from a neurologically demanding workout. I don’t drink or smoke because it leaves me feeling inflamed and sick, so [using CBD] is an easy way for me to experience a calming effect without the use of inflammatory or unhealthy substances.”
