Pain does not have to be the end of your fitness story. In Built from Broken, Scott Hogan offers a smarter way to understand joint pain, old injuries, and physical setbacks. Instead of relying on rest, ice, or quick fixes, Hogan shows how intelligent strength training, mobility work, and gradual loading can help rebuild a stronger, more resilient body.
This summary explains why common aches often come from poor movement patterns, weak links, muscle imbalances, and undertrained connective tissue. It also breaks down practical strategies for improving posture, protecting the “Big Three” pain areas—low back, shoulders, and knees—and creating sustainable routines that support long-term joint health.
Whether you feel broken down, beat up, or simply stuck, this book offers a hopeful message: your body can adapt, heal, and grow stronger with the right approach.
