Episode 187 – The Final Stretch: Where Most People Get Stuck
When you’ve done the work and put in the hours, followed the plan, made progress, just to hit a wall in your progress, it can be incredibly frustrating. That last bit of progress in your rehab, mobility, or strength work often feels impossible. In this episode, I break down why the final 20% of progress often feels impossible, why the plateau isn’t just from a single exercise but in how the work is being applied, and how tiny, precise shifts — the kind most people never see — can get you the final shift towards your goals. I share a few examples from my experience with clients, what’s actually happening behind the scenes, and why having someone in the room who can see what you can’t can change everything.
If you’ve been stuck staring at that invisible barrier, this episode offers a perspective you won’t get by simply trying harder.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.
1:1 Mobility Coaching
Have a nagging ache, pain, or injury that just hasn’t gone away? Maybe you’ve tried bouts of physical therapy or chiropractic care without much success. Or maybe you’ve done your own research and rehab with the help of social media, but you still aren’t feeling 100%. That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
