202 | Osgood Schlatter - What's this bump on the front of my knee?

Got a hunched back? Wanting to prevent the hump? DocJen & Dr. Dom get to the meat of excessive curvature of the upper back, and how it can lead to postural and muscular compensations, breathing dysfunction, as well as sensory deficits. With a focus on posture, they dive into the Upper Cross Syndrome and Lower cross Syndrome as concepts that may simplify muscular compensations that are typically associated with the Dowager's Hump. By explaining the non-genetical roots of the Dowager's Hump, they provide empowerment to the idea that its musculoskeletal associations allow the hump to be reversed with movement every 30 minutes, posterior chain strengthening, front-body opening, and balance work! Finally, they take you through quick 5 minute recommendations to prevent the hump! Let's tune in!
