Tom Brady. Drew Brees. LeBron James. Dana Torres. Nolan Ryan. What do all of these athletes have in common? They have each excelled at their chosen sport well into their later 30s and early 40s, ages when most normal individuals would have retired from elite or professional-level competition. Thanks to modern medical science we now know more about how to keep athletes injury-free as well as how to get them back on the field (or court) quickly after an injury happens. Dr. Kevin Stone is an orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Stone Clinic in Northern California; throughout his career, Dr. Stone has helped numerous athletes return to their sport after an injury. In his book, Play Forever: How to Recovery from Injury and Thrive, Dr. Stone shares how you too can structure your workouts and exercise program to do exactly that: enjoy your favorite activities well into your later years. This is a fascinating and engaging conversation about how the evolution of modern sports medicine can help you to play forever.
