Posture affects everything. 💯

Hunter and Brighton helped me work on the movement lab portion of our posture company today.
Our equipment does more than we’ve even spent much time working with yet.
Day 3 is in the books.
Next week they’ll help with inventory and marketing for the taekwondo school side of things while also preparing for our virtual summit.
And I appreciate all the help and motivation they bring!

These two are some great young people!
Yesterday we worked on single leg balance assessments and began a project learning how to do a virtual summit.

Really glad to be a part of Go Caps, should have done it years ago!

We have some new students with us today! We had some time at the end so we went over to see the new Covelle’s across the road.
Good times! I think these two are going to work out well 👍👍

10 Lessons from 2025 That Will Shape the Way We Practice in 2026

As we close out 2025, I’ve been reflecting deeply on what this year has taught us—not just as practitioners, but as leaders in healthcare.

The American Posture Institute community of healthcare professionals continues to raise the standard. And if 2025 taught us anything, it’s this: posture, neuroscience, chronic pain management, and intentional practice are no longer optional—they are essential.

Here are 10 lessons worth carrying with us into the New Year:

1. Posture is a longevity hack
Longevity is everywhere—and for good reason. The research is clear: hyperkyphosis is linked to early mortality, poor balance is associated with all-cause mortality, and loss of mobility shortens lifespan. Posture helps patients look better, move better, feel better—and live longer. In 2026, posture, balance, and mobility must be foundational parts of care plans, not afterthoughts.

2. Modalities matter when they stimulate the nervous system.
We continue to research what truly drives postural change and neuroplasticity. Two standouts:
• Whole Body Vibration (VibePlate) – essential for balance, neuroplasticity, strength, pain reduction, and bone mineral density.
• Low Level Laser Therapy (Erchonia) – powerful for pain relief, accelerated healing, and cellular metabolism.
The future belongs to practitioners who choose modalities strategically, not randomly.

3. AI isn’t replacing you—it’s amplifying you.
AI is here, and it’s a gift if you use it wisely. Use it to save time, stay current, and enhance patient education. Don’t hide it—highlight it. Patients want clinicians who use modern tools with clinical wisdom.

4. Riches are in the niches.
Trying to help everyone helps no one. The most referable clinics are crystal clear about who they serve and what they do best. Own your Unique Expert Position. Be the posture authority in your community. Master one thing. Lead with it.

5. Shed what no longer serves you—momentum is coming.
2025 was the year of the snake - it was all about shedding what no longer serves you. Old habits. Old systems. Old ways of thinking - done!
2026 is the year of the horse - it is about momentum, clarity, and growth. Let go of what’s holding your practice back so you can move forward with speed and purpose in the new year.

6. Movement is non-negotiable.
Nothing replaces movement. Our patients are sedentary, slumped, and neurologically under-stimulated. Movement improves posture, brain function, mental health, and metabolism. In 2026, prescribe movement with intention. Build posture breaks into daily life and watch your patients prosper.

7. Solve real problems—and you’ll never need to chase patients.
Patients in pain want relief. Give it to them. Then keep them better. The Pain to Posture Model works because it solves the immediate problem and prevents recurrence. When you deliver real results, referrals follow. Be relentless about outcomes.

8. “Brain-based” isn’t a trend—it’s best practice.
Neuroplasticity-focused care is the standard. The brain craves novelty, challenge, and precise input. In 2026, commit to learning more neurology. Prevent maladaptive neuroplasticity. Create positive change with Postural Neurology.

9. Chronic pain lives in the nervous system—and it can be reversed.
Chronic pain rewires the brain. Patients don’t imagine their pain—they’ve trained their nervous system to be efficient at it.
The good news? You can retrain it. We are going ALL IN on chronic pain solutions in 2026, and we’re bringing comprehensive, research-driven protocols to this community. Stay tuned!

10. Growth requires discomfort.
Comfort zones kill dreams.
In 2026, do something that stretches you—professionally and personally. Growth in your practice always follows growth in you. I do a firewalk every year as a reminder: when belief, state, and action align, limits disappear. Get uncomfortable. Your future self will thank you.

To every practitioner in the American Posture Institute community—thank you. We are deeply grateful to serve you. The best is still ahead, and 2026 is going to be a powerful year.

We’d love to hear from you:
- What lesson did 2025 teach you?
- What will you carry into 2026 to elevate your practice and your impact?

Wishing you all clarity, courage, momentum, abundance, and a powerful New Year 🔥🙌👏

We had a great time catching up with some old friends at the Peak Sport and Spine Christmas Party!
Our only regret is that we left too soon and didn’t get more photos.

Thank you to Phillip and Mark for the invite.
You guys have a great company!

Rodney, always good to see you Brother!

Food for thought - and it unfortunately ties into digital dementia quite well.

🚨 A major new scientific review has confirmed what many of us already feel: the endless stream of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts is quietly eroding core cognitive abilities.

After screening hundreds of studies published in 2023–2024 and retaining the 35 most rigorous, researchers concluded that prolonged daily exposure to ultra-short video content is associated with significant declines in sustained attention, working memory, and executive function—a pattern now described in the literature as “brain rot.”

Among adolescents and young adults, average daily screen time exceeds 6.5 hours, with the majority consumed in clips lasting under one minute.

Neuroimaging reveals reduced activity in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex—the very regions responsible for memory consolidation, planning, and impulse control.

Strikingly, these changes mirror early markers of cognitive aging, despite occurring in individuals still in their teens and twenties.

The platforms’ power lies in their design: rapid cuts, variable-ratio reward schedules, and algorithmic feeds that demand almost no cognitive effort while delivering constant stimulation.

Over time, the brain adapts to this environment and begins to treat depth, reflection, and even mild boredom as intolerable.

The effects are reversible.

Meaningful reduction in passive short-form consumption, combined with deliberate re-engagement with longer-form content and offline pursuits, can restore attentional control and mental clarity within weeks.

Attention is the foundation of every higher human capacity. In an era engineered to fragment it, protecting and rebuilding yours is no longer optional…it is one of the most consequential choices you will ever make.

Looking forward to our talk tomorrow at Lake Parke in Camdenton, MO!
The talk will focus on the importance of staying strong throughout the aging process, and how to do it.

This is a brand new presentation with all new material focused on the 70+ crowd and their families.

If you have a group or organization that could benefit from this talk, DM us and we would love to come present to your group too!

A big thank you to everyone who came out for our first Posture Talk at the Coffee Shop at Café Jude's tonight!

We learned about posture from the shoulders up tonight, and had a great time among friends and coffee.

We look forward to doing it again soon!
