October 02, 2024 • Derrick Hines • Episode 140

Welcome to another episode of the Pain and Performance podcast. In this episode, I interview Michael Jones, an expert in posture correction. We discuss the negative effects of prolonged sitting and the importance of body awareness. Jones emphasizes the need for active sitting and taking regular posture breaks to counteract the negative effects of sitting. He also recommends incorporating eye exercises to combat the strain caused by excessive screen time. Jones explains the benefits of using kinesio tape to improve muscle proprioception and shares his favorite exercises for posture correction, including anti-gravity movements and chin tucks.

In our conversation, Michael Jones and I discuss the importance of good posture and how it can improve overall health and well-being. We provide practical tips and exercises to improve posture, including using resistance bands, incorporating mobilization techniques, and using lumbar supports and footrests. We also discuss the benefits of balance training and the role of ergonomics in maintaining good posture. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of taking breaks, standing up, and staying active throughout the day.
