And to me, in my brain, it could not compute how can I be – how can I have been so athletic and so strong and never injured and now I can't do anything? No, I do not accept this. I'm going to start moving my ass. Right? M-Y-A, move your ass.
And sure enough, like, did I have really rough moments? You know, there was one time I went to the gym where I thought I was, I was getting better and things were starting to finally open up and I was feeling looser. I went to go do pull-ups. I tell this to my patients who come to me with disc herniations all the time. I went to go do pull-ups. I let go. I was good during the pull-up. I let go.
The moment my foot touched the ground, boom, crumbled down to the floor. I have to crawl out of the gym. We start from scratch. There were moments where it took 20 minutes to get into my car. But did that stop me from loading? No. I found the moves, the things that caused me the discomfort. I fought through it, and that's how I got out of it.
And within eight months from the initial disc herniation, I was on stage for a bodybuilding competition.
It's really, yeah, like that, especially with back surgery. I recently launched an online movement platform because there are so many, I kept getting so many messages, thousands of messages like, hey, you know, because I'm only licensed to work with people in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. But people kept messaging from all over the world like, hey, I want to work with you.
I know you can't legally do it. I want to work with you. Give me something. So I was like, all right, give me some time. I'll make something. So I created this whole online app platform. It's awesome. And one of the members that are currently in it right now, she's had spinal fusion surgery. from like, I think it was her lower, mid-lower thoracic spine down to her L4.
And she was a runner all her life. And her doctor wanted to operate and fuse the next segment, L4-L5. And her goal was to run the Boston Marathon in April. Now, she started in my platform on my app a month ago and horrible pain, could not run. One month later, through this platform, this past weekend, she just ran her first 13.1 miles.
Yeah.
Oh, it's going to blow your mind.
Maybe it'll be an add-on for the future. Yeah.
I think every single human being should start dancing. I honestly think so. Even just taking a salsa or bachata class, that's already... If you want to keep it low profile and chill, that's the thing to try because there's still all that hip movement, all that spine movement, even just the follow...
uh the lead and follow of uh you know when you're doing if you're doing partner work there's so much shoulders involved necks involved feet knees and oh my god it's i think everybody should dance it keeps your body so fluid um it's always funny you know when i go to uh when i go to a salsa club i'm you know one of the only white people to know how to dance and you're and you're buff
Yeah, a big white boy just dancing around. And I've had, every time I've gone, I've had people who were locals of the club. They always go to the salsa club. They're regulars. They come up to me and they're like, how? Where? How do you know how to dance like us? I'm like, I love you guys. I love this music. I love this style. I love this dance.
Dancing is such a great way to move your body and such a great soul expression. And it really is something. I can't believe I was bullied as a kid because of it. And to the point where I almost quit. I almost quit. I almost quit. But thank God I didn't.
That's great. You know how to have a good time. You know how to let loose. I've been in a grocery store before, too, where I was dancing with hummus, you know? So what? You know, some Ed Sheeran is on, just bopping around, you know, Shape of You is on, you know, and suddenly the hummus looks like it wants a dance partner, right?
Yeah. I try to embarrass my girlfriend as much as I can. Does she a dancer? Does she dance with you? No, she used to do rhythmic gymnastics, which is, like, she's very fit. She goes to the gym all the time. Since she stopped doing that, she transferred her love of, like, being fit to working out. And she's like, oh, why don't you ever teach me how to dance? Because she's in PA school.
I'm constantly, you know, I'm working, like, 16 hours a day. And, like, she just, she's like, oh, we should learn how to dance. I have some special plan for her. Good.
Hey, that's part of the reason I keep dancing. I'm hoping to inspire some people to dance. And if that big boy can do it, then so can I, right?
Awesome. So you can find me on Instagram. That's my main platform at Official Danny Shapiro or on Facebook at Project Physical Therapy, which is the name of my clinic. And if you are from New York, New Jersey or Florida and you want to work with me, you can go on Project Physical Therapy dot com and get a free 30 minute consultation.
We can talk about what's going on and fix you up, make you feel phenomenal. And so you can dance and move around like me. And if you'd like to, yeah, if you'd like to check out my movement platform and see where, you know, people are joining from literally all over the world. I have people in Europe, I have people in Australia and Austria, across the country in the US and Canada.
