Discover the surprising connection between your posture and athletic performance!

In this episode of Back Talk, we explore how poor posture impacts not just your appearance, but your body's core functions and athletic capabilities.

Recent studies have revealed that bad posture, particularly forward head posture, significantly affects athletic performance in surprising ways. Learn how misalignments in your head, chest, and pelvis can lead to:
- Decreased lung function and breathing capacity
- Reduced balance and stability
- Diminished agility and reaction time
- Lower leg power and explosive strength
- Increased risk of injury during physical activities

I break down two groundbreaking studies from the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (2022) and Journal of Clinical Medicine (2023) that demonstrate the direct relationship between postural alignment and physical performance. The research shows that the more severe your postural misalignments, the worse your physical performance becomes.

But this isn't just about athletes! Whether you're gardening, walking, or doing household chores, proper posture plays a crucial role in your daily activities. Understanding the connection between your spine, nervous system, and overall function is essential for maintaining optimal health and preventing injury.
