“Happy new year!” It’s an inherently positive message meaning let’s look forward to a bright new start but you can’t see the horizon (much less what’s in front of you) if you’re looking at the ground.

About 90% of my patients have arrived with poor posture and likely posture was a contributing factor to their ailments in 70% of those patients.
