Is your posture silently sabotaging your health, confidence, and focus?
Most people treat posture like an old-school nag—“Sit up straight!”—but what if that advice is more powerful (and more misunderstood) than we ever imagined?
In this eye-opening episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with leading posture expert, educator, and author Dr. Steven Weiniger to expose the real cost of poor posture in today’s high-tech, high-stress world. From tech neck and back pain to mental health and mood, Dr. Weiniger makes the case that posture isn’t just about bones and muscles—it’s a foundational piece of brain-body performance.
We explore:
The “aha!” moment that made Dr. Weiniger dedicate his career to posture
How the posture epidemic is being driven by smartphones, screens, and sedentary lifestyles
The truth behind the myth of perfect posture—and why “your next posture is your best posture”
What interoceptive posture awareness is and how a few simple posture photos can retrain your body
How posture affects your mood, stress, brain function, and even long-term confidence
Practical, easy-to-follow tips for rebuilding posture—without pain, pressure, or perfectionism
How to help kids, athletes, and desk workers improve their alignment for better performance
Why strong posture is the gateway to longevity, resilience, and vitality
Whether you're a chronic sloucher, an athlete chasing edge, or a parent trying to help your teen avoid back pain and burnout, this episode is packed with actionable insights and cutting-edge strategies to realign your body—and your life.
