ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Lower back pain often stems from a simple mechanical failure: your pelvis and rib cage are out of alignment. While most people focus on "six-pack" abs, true core stability comes from the deepest layers of your anatomy—the transverse abdominis (TVA), the diaphragm, and the pelvic floor.In this session, Scott (a DNS specialist) breaks down why the way you breathe is the foundation of how you move. Whether you are a desk worker struggling with "extension" posture or an elite athlete like Roger Federer looking for a competitive edge, understanding the "Piston Effect" is the key to moving without pain.
