Protect Your Body, Protect Your Career: Vet Med Durability With Aaron Shaw, OTRL, CHT, CSCS

Today on The Bend, I’m sitting down with Aaron Shaw, OTRL, CHT, CSCS to talk about something we don’t address nearly enough in vet med: the physical demands of the job and how they quietly feed stress, burnout, and early exits from the profession. Aaron is the founder of Project Vets and the creator of the Durable Vet Blueprint, and I love how he reframes our work as “veterinary athletes” who deserve real preparation, not just pushing through pain. In this episode, we get practical about durability, the kind that helps you stay strong physically and emotionally while still doing what you love. We talk ergonomics that are hiding in plain sight, small changes that reduce wear and tear, and why taking care of your body is not separate from taking care of your mind. Go listen or watch, and tell me your biggest takeaway. Listen Now: https://thebendpodcast.podbean.com/e/...
