The conversation
Is bad posture the reason your neck and back hurt? I sat down with New York physical therapist and strength coach Dr Andy Fata-Chan, founder of Moment Physical Therapy & Performance, and he says your posture matters far less than everything around it.
Andy explains why rowers with rounded backs are some of the fittest people on earth, why he says the average doctor interrupts a patient within eight seconds, and how to pick your first kettlebell by body weight. We cover standing desks, lumbar support, posture gadgets, whether sitting is the new smoking, and what he makes of Ben Patrick's Knees Over Toes program.
He also shares the mantra he repeats when the sun hits his face on the corner of 45th and Fifth, and why he thinks pain comes from your beliefs, stress and sleep as much as your muscles and joints.
