Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself and wondered, "When did I start slouching?" The good news is that posture can improve at any age, and better posture can support stronger bones, better balance, and greater confidence.
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Claudia Tamas, physical therapist, strength and conditioning specialist, and certified integrative bone health practitioner, along with Ruth McCurdy, who shares her inspiring posture transformation story. Together, we explore how improving alignment can influence your bones, balance, movement, and overall health.
Ruth's transformation shows what can happen when you stop focusing on limitations and start focusing on what your body is capable of achieving. We also discuss why getting evaluated by a qualified professional is so important.
Dr. Claudia shares four simple posture exercises that you can begin incorporating into your routine, and we look at safe ways to strengthen your core and improve posture while avoiding movements that may increase fracture risk for people with osteoporosis.
"We can change posture at any age, and we can get strong at any age. Regardless of what you were told before, just give it a try; you'll be surprised." ~ Dr. Claudia Tamas, DPT, APRN, CSCS
