Unlock the mysteries of your body as we navigate the interconnected world of posture, jaw alignment, and overall health with the expertise of certified athletic trainer Alina Kanner. Delving into the nuances of Postural Restoration Therapy, Alina sheds light on how something as simple as jaw placement can spiral into complex conditions like TMJ or scoliosis. Her personal triumph over ADHD and eczema propels our discussion beyond traditional treatments, revealing the profound influence of our posture on life's daily activities and the potential for tailored therapies to revolutionize individual well-being.

This episode meticulously examines the art and science of physical therapy and chiropractic assessments, with a particular spotlight on the Postural Restoration Institute's approach to evaluating movement patterns and occlusion. From gait mechanics to hip and shoulder mobility, we peel back the layers of human movement, interlinking dental health and bodily mechanics. Discover the transformative power of PRI techniques that harmonize visual systems and occlusion, offering a blueprint for personalized healing.

Breathing, the silent rhythm of life, takes center stage as we confront myths and unveil the critical role of expansive breathing in maintaining posture and regulating our nervous system. Understand the natural asymmetries within our anatomy that can lead to imbalances, and grasp the significance of addressing the nervous system in managing pain and fostering overall health. Join us for a journey that not only illuminates the intricacies of health but also empowers you to be a well-informed advocate for your own path to wellness.
