In this episode I introduce the two triangles the body actually stabilizes on: an inverted one whose point is the fourth thoracic vertebra, with sides running up to the base of the head, and an upright one that starts at the third lumbar vertebra and runs out to each hip joint and down the legs. I explain why the neck is for orienting rather than holding, why muscles are for movement, why your legs really start at L3, and why a practitioner who does not work from these principles ends up chasing symptoms.\nThis episode is for education and isn't medical advice.\nMy writing, teaching, and book live at https://leighankrum.com\nPractitioners: https://leighankrum.com/practitioners\nCHAPTERS\n0:00 Coming up\n0:13 The Body Knows\n0:27 Welcome: two triangles\n0:57 The upper triangle: T4 to the head\n1:20 Your neck is for orienting\n2:09 The lower triangle: L3 to the legs\n3:11 Why it matters: posture\n3:46 Muscles are for movement\n4:15 Your legs start at L3\n4:57 For practitioners: stop chasing symptoms\n5:39 Until next time","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rM60Up3MCQcJhl209n5dGnqqpIdHRQYQ61Kh1Dqj6yE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZWM1/N2NkMTViODljZjll/NzQ5MzE2NmZjNTJk/OGVhOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
