Did you know posture is vital to living a healthy and vibrant life?
“Posture affects and moderates every physiological function, from breathing to nervous system function, and despite the considerable evidence that posture affects physiology and function, the significant influence of posture on health is not addressed by most physicians”
Thomas Harris, MD The Sports Medicine Guide
Do you know “where” you stand?
Posture impacts breathing, circulation, and digestion
90% of the stimulation and nutrition for the brain is generated by movement of the spine
90% of your brain’s energy is utilized to navigate gravity
10% of your brain’s energy is dedicated to thinking, metabolism and healing
A 2004 study found that a 3 cm loss in height is correlated to a 64% increased risk in dying from a heart attack than those losing 1 cm in height
In conclusion, if your posture is weakened and you don’t move efficiently, you’ll end up spending more brain energy to navigate gravity and even less brain energy on thinking, metabolism and healing!
“Postural strength and coordination are essential for injury prevention and sports performance.”

“Changes in the optimal spinal position produce spinal pathologies and loss of function.”
