Posture Hack #1: How to Improve “Duck Feet”

I’d like to explore some common postural problems and some exercise hacks to improve them.

Back pain can be related to your core. There I said it. I am 100% sure you have heard of “deep core muscles” before. But do you really know what they are?

How to Avoid “The Agony of The Feet”

A few weeks ago, my client Blake came in for his weekly session with a new complaint- his feet were “killing him!” (And his back wasn’t so great either.) I took a look at his shoes.

Last week, I had a new client who came in with chronic low back pain. He has a job that tends to keep him at his desk or in his car, and he feels he is not getting enough exercise with the home program he is doing for his back pain.
