lifestyle medicine Jun 02, 2025

In our quest to improve overall wellness, we host a series called "Ask the Expert," where each month we introduce a new guest speaker to share their expertise on various health topics. This time, our spotlight focused on the fascinating interplay of posture, fascia, and function, with Dr. Tiffany Poole, a chiropractor, and Kristie Gatto, a certified myofunctional and speech therapist, leading the discussion.

Understanding the Connection: Posture, Fascia, and Health

The session began with an in-depth exploration of the integral role fascia plays in our body. Often overlooked, fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, that sits beneath the skin and wraps organs, muscles, and other structures. This connective tissue not only shapes our anatomy but also facilitates bodily functions and can influence our overall health and posture.

The Expert Insight

Dr. Tiffany Poole emphasized the structural alignment's role in health, highlighting how a misalignment can affect our stress levels, biochemical balance, and possibly lead to chronic pain. Meanwhile, Kristie Gatto delved into the interconnections between myofunctional therapy, oral health, and overall bodily function. Together, they emphasized how improving posture and fascia health can lead to better bodily function and reduced pain.

Simple Strategies to Take Home

A key takeaway was the introduction of practical strategies aimed at improving posture through daily exercises, breathing techniques, and fascia-friendly routines. Dr. Poole and Gatto shared exercises that can be performed at home, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach that includes regular practice and awareness of body alignment.
