When you think of the pelvic floor, you might picture something static or purely related to stability—but it’s so much more than that. In this episode of Aligned With Dr. Nicole Addison, we dive into the biomechanics behind one of the most misunderstood areas of the body.

You’ll learn how the pelvic floor moves with every breath, every step, and every shift in your hips and spine. We’ll break down how it coordinates with your diaphragm and deep core, why it’s essential for efficient hip movement, and how imbalances here can show up as back pain, hip tension, or even breathing issues.

This isn’t just anatomy—it’s awareness. When you understand how your pelvic floor supports your movement from the inside out, you unlock a deeper level of control, strength, and connection to your body.

🎧 Tune in to rediscover your foundation—and feel The Power Within.

Most people think walking is simple — but the way you move can either protect your body or slowly break it down. In this episode, Dr. Nicole Addison explains why your hips, ankles, and big toe must extend when you walk — and why your knees should stay slightly flexed for optimal movement.

You’ll learn how these mechanics improve ground reaction force transfer, help you propel your body forward more efficiently, and reduce strain on your low back and neck. If you’ve ever struggled with back pain, neck tension, or tight hips, this episode will show you how every step you take could be part of the solution.

🎧 Listen in to discover:

• Why your big toe is more important than you think

• How your walking mechanics affect back and neck pain

• The hidden link between gait and energy transfer

• Practical tips to walk stronger and healthier every day

This isn’t just about walking — it’s about rewiring your movement so your whole body works better.

Ever heard the term rib flare and wondered what it actually means—or why it matters? In today’s episode, we’re breaking it down in a way that’s easy to understand but deeply connected to how your body moves and functions.

We’ll start with the basics: what rib flare is, what it looks like, and how it shows up during normal breathing. Then, we’ll explore how the shape of your ribcage and the way you breathe every day have a ripple effect on your low back, hips, shoulders, and even how your core stabilizes.

If you've ever dealt with tight hips, persistent back pain, or shoulder restrictions that don’t seem to go away no matter how much you stretch—this could be a missing piece of the puzzle.

Whether you're a health professional, fitness enthusiast, or someone curious about their own body, this episode will give you tools to see movement differently and understand why “just standing up straight” doesn’t cut it when your ribcage is stuck in a flared position.

In this episode, we cover:

• What rib flare is and how it relates to normal breathing mechanics

• Why breathing isn’t just about the lungs—it’s about posture, pressure, and movement

• How ribcage shape impacts your low back, pelvis, and shoulder health

• Why managing rib flare is essential for core control and injury prevention

• Easy ways to spot and start addressing this pattern in yourself or your clients

This episode will help you reconnect the dots between breath, posture, and total-body strength. Tune in and start moving from the inside out.

Welcome to the very first episode of Aligned, the podcast dedicated to helping you unlock the power inside you through movement, mindset, and aligned living. I’m Dr. Nicole Addison, your host, chiropractor, and wellness advocate, here to guide you on a journey toward a stronger, healthier, and more connected version of yourself.

In this episode, I share my personal story and why I created this podcast. Having worked with countless people feeling stuck in pain and disconnected from their bodies, I understand the frustration of feeling held back by your own health. I’ve been there myself—through injuries, setbacks, and times when I felt completely out of alignment physically and mentally. But by learning to move with my body, not against it, I found a path to strength, confidence, and vitality—and that’s what I want for you.

I explain what you can expect from this show: quick, actionable episodes every week covering topics like building strength without pain, improving posture, recovering faster, and preventing injuries. Plus, I’ll bring you inspiring conversations with experts in movement, mindset, and health. This podcast isn’t about quick fixes or temporary relief; it’s about creating long-lasting habits and strategies that keep you feeling your best today and for years to come.

The heart of today’s episode is breaking down what “Aligned Within” truly means. Alignment isn’t just about your spine—it’s about your whole life. When your body is aligned, you move more efficiently, experience less pain, and feel confident in your daily activities. But it also means aligning your habits, values, and lifestyle with the life you want to live. Are your daily choices supporting your health and goals? If not, the good news is you can start changing right now with small, manageable steps.

To get you started, I challenge you to pick one simple thing this week that brings you closer to alignment. Whether it’s a short walk, drinking more water, or sitting up straight for a few breaths, small actions add up to big changes.
