427: 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back with Esther Gokhale

8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back

with Esther Gokhale
----------------
Office chairs were always bad news for spinal health, but now most people are working hunched over a laptop on their coach - and many of their kids are doing the same! In 2019, we spent too much time on screens, but in 2020, it's gone to a completely new level and we all need to spend some time thinking about work stations, postures, and spinal health.

On this week's show, you'll meet returning guest, Esther Gokhale who has spent her career researching, writing, and teaching spinal health.

Listen & Learn:

  • Why an S-curved spine is incorrect, and why a J-shape is more natural
  • Why to stop chasing ideal posture and simply work with the body and life you have in our modern world
  • Chairs, shoes, and workstations - what do do?
