In reality, rather than thinking about posture as good and bad, we should make an effort to vary our body positions throughout the day. 2. If you fix your posture, you will fix your pain. In reality, the link between posture and pain is not well established in the scientific literature. Resistance training, regular cardio/walking and modifying tasks with a physical therapist until pain subsides are some of the better strategies. 3. You can fix poor posture with simple 10 minute daily drills and stretches. In reality, progressive resistance training with a focus on getting stronger is more likely to improve your ability to deal with postural challenges. 4. Bad posture is always a problem worth fixing. In reality, people who worry about their posture a lot, tend to experience and catastrophize pain more than those who do not. It simply may not be a problem worth fixing for you, and that’s okay. ------------------------------- Sources & Recommended Reading Link Between Posture and Pain Studies: Nocebo Study: Symptoms Decrease with Time Study: A GREAT resource on all things pain and posture: ------------------------------- Music: Bankrupt Beats: Epidemic Sound B Roll Filmed by Aous Photo: Edited by Brandon Wells Photo and me using Final Cut Pro! ------------------------------- Follow me on social media: INSTAGRAM ‣ SNAPCHAT ‣ FACEBOOK ‣ TWITTER ‣ PODCAST ‣ The Jeff Nippard Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher ------------------------------- About me: I’m a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science.
