The Power of Posture in the Prevention of Pain! | Susan Guyer | TEDxSpringfield

Posture isn’t something we think about on a day to day basis. As a matter of fact, most people rarely think about posture or body position at all. This presentation will explore and identify ideal postural from all views and review common pathologies as a result of improper posture. The continual influence of gravity and ground reaction forces on posture will also be discussed.
