129 Does Posture Matter?

Neck, back, shoulder, hip, and foot pain all share one thing in common - the solution starts with better alignment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pitching posture as a magical fix, but one of the few lessons I remember from physics is about levers and the truth is it's less work for your muscles (and fascias) to hold you up against gravity when you're in better alignment. Better posture doesn't mean you can never slouch again or that everything you've been doing up to now has been bad. But learning about posture can help you solve one missing piece of the injury puzzle.
