Join biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram for a philosophical, historical and biological journey into the controversies around posture. \n\nKaty and Jeannette discuss whether posture is really a thing; is ‘good’ posture important or does your body work just fine regardless of how you hold it? Have we simply inherited postural ideals that are remnants of cultural, social and political baggage? \n\nKaty and Jeannette tease this out by discussing definitions of posture, the history of postural ideals and the difficulty in relating pain to posture. They turn to extreme examples of posture and Katy’s work in alignment to offer a more nuanced perspective on posture and physical experience in terms of load to tissues over time.\n\nEnhanced Show Notes & Full Transcript \nChapters:\n00:04:05 - When you hear the word \"posture\" what do you think \n00:06:20 - The Dynamic Collective \n00:07:30 - Definitions, is posture a thing, and is good posture a thing? \n00:22:50 - Good Posture?
