Dr Lindsay delves into the often-overlooked act of standing - building upon the discussion of seated posture from episode 6 (check it out if you haven’t already!) she emphasizes the importance of standing posture for both you and your kids. Because standing tall isn't about stiffness…it’s about finding a natural and dynamic alignment. Dr Lindsay reveals common mistakes that are easy to make - like leaning into your hip, standing with hands in pockets, dumping weight forward into hips - and some easy actions you can take to avoid them and stand taller. The episode highlights the role of posture in breathing, focus, mood, and overall wellbeing. Habitual good posture doesn’t just make you seem taller and more confident - it can positively impact long-term health.
