On this episode, I narrate a recent blog post about all things posture. This is something I talk about a lot with patients and colleagues alike and there is a lot of misinformation and fear mongering out there. 

Posture can matter, but probably doesn't matter as much as most people think it does. I hope this episode makes you think and gives you some good information.
