Great Grandma Was Right - Posture Matters! | Michelle Joyce | TEDxDavenport

100 years ago America was a pioneer in reversing the effects of chronic sitting. Kids received lessons about ergonomics, body mechanics and healthy posture from grade school up through the college level. This large-scale public health campaign was designed to prevent the kinds of problems that have reached epidemic levels today. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to helping our kids beat the screentime slump, we just need to dust off a few forgotten lessons from our past. Michelle Joyce is on a mission to eliminate unhealthy posture! She’s frequently featured on TV shows and teaches posture workshops worldwide. Originally trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist, she believes that helping people change their posture involves much more than simply telling them to sit up straight. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Great Talk should be broadcast in times square. I think it would help soften many of the cold world.

Back pain? That's the least of your problems. It's forward head posture what has potentially life-destroying consequences. From cervical arthritis to decreased brain blood flow to TMJ disorders to a myriad other muscular, neurologic and vascular complications. Back pain is a walk in the park in comparison.

Just because its a TED talk doesnt mean the person is an "expert" Almost all of what she says is pure supposition and literature does not support it. But why take the time to do a simple Google search right Joyce?
