There's this identity that you get to wear as a crossfitter, and you don't have to be a good crossfitter, you just have to be a part of this movement and this group.
Ever thought Crossfit could be more than just a workout? Dr. Meg Patterson from Texas A&M Health and Kinesiology department certainly does. In this episode of 'Scope of Practice', she dives into how the Crossfit community offers more than physical fitness—it provides a lifeline for those recovering from substance use disorders (SUD). Dr. Patterson's research reveals that the camaraderie and shared goals within Crossfit can be transformative, offering a 'Modern Recovery Assisting Pathway' for many.
The episode unpacks how the intense physical challenges and communal spirit help individuals in recovery discover new identities and build a sense of belonging that's crucial for long-term sobriety. Imagine finding a new 'family' where every rep and every cheer propels you towards a healthier, addiction-free life. The discussion also touches on the importance of research in the SUD treatment field, emphasizing how evidence-based practices can secure funding and support for integrating Crossfit into recovery programs.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to addiction recovery, whether you're on your own journey or supporting someone else.
