S12 EP12: Finding the Source of Your Pain with Postural Restoration

Hey, stand on one leg then close your eyes. How’s your balance?
Our guest today, Dr. Derya Anderson, is a movement and breathing
specialist and she’s here to explain Postural Restoration and how
imbalances in our bodies, in places we least expect, can cause us
pain. As a Postural Restoration Certified (PRC) physical
therapist, she examines the complete picture to identify the
actual cause of dysfunction, emphasizing that our brains, eyes,
and teeth are interconnected, contrary to how our healthcare
system often treats them.


Today’s discussion may surprise you. It’s not about standing up
straight but rather about the brain’s continuous drive for
safety. It’s about taking a different route to work and sitting
on the opposite side of the couch for once. Don’t you miss the
fluidity of childhood when your life didn’t revolve around
patterns? Dr. Anderson is here today to give us permission to
just relax. Tune in and try a PR technique while you listen!
