Dr. Staten Medsker's Journey to Excellence in Posture Training
Thirty years ago, poor posture was a rarity, primarily seen in piano and guitar students slouching around their instruments. Fast forward to today, and the digital age has ushered in a pandemic of poor posture, with computers and cell phones leading the charge. As a chiropractor and a musician, I was determined to address this crisis. Drawing on my experience treating over 600 iconic musicians—from Journey and Def Leppard to Weird Al—I developed a tour-bus-friendly exercise called the "S.E.T. Program" that left them healthier than when they started. Now, with over 68% of people diagnosed with "Computer Neck," my new book, The Posture ReS.E.T. Program, offers a simple 3-minute daily home exercise to correct "Tech Neck" by 5 mm a month. Let’s ReSET our posture and our health!
