The Posture-Brain Connection: How Posture Rewires the Brain, Impacts Balance, Movement, and Neurological Health – with Mat Boule

Posture is not just structural — it is neurological.

In this episode of The Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster sits down with posturology expert Mat Boule to explore how posture directly programs the brain, influences balance, coordination, movement efficiency, and shapes long-term neurological health.

Mat explains how dysfunctional posture disrupts sensory input from the vestibular system, visual system, and proprioceptive pathways, forcing the brain into compensatory patterns that can lead to chronic pain, poor balance, dizziness, gait instability, fatigue, and decreased motor control.

This episode reveals how restoring proper postural strategies can recalibrate the nervous system, improve coordination, enhance athletic performance, and optimize how the brain organizes movement in space. You'll learn how postural correction is not simply biomechanical — it is a powerful form of brain-based rehabilitation.

Key Topics Covered:

• The neurological relationship between posture and brain function

• How poor posture impacts balance, coordination, and vestibular processing

• Posturology and the brain-body connection

• Sensory integration, proprioception, and movement efficiency

• How posture influences chronic pain, dizziness, and instability

• Brain-based posture correction and neuro-sensory rehabilitation strategies

About Mat Boule:

Mat Boule is a posturologist specializing in the neurological regulation of posture, balance, and human movement. His work focuses on how the brain processes sensory input from the vestibular system, eyes, muscles, and joints to maintain upright stability and coordinate efficient movement patterns.

Through advanced postural assessment and neuro-sensory correction strategies, Mat addresses the root causes of postural dysfunction, dizziness, poor balance, movement inefficiency, and chronic pain. His approach is grounded in neuroscience and centers on recalibrating how the brain organizes posture to improve mobility, coordination, performance, and long-term resilience.

This episode offers a powerful perspective for clinicians, athletes, and anyone seeking to improve movement, balance, posture, and neurological performance.
