| 0:00.0 | Okay, welcome everyone to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast. In this episode, I'm speaking |
| 0:04.3 | with physical therapist Dr. Sam Spinelli. Sam is the co-founder of E3 rehab and is really helping |
| 0:09.6 | pioneer a more evidence-based message in the pain and rehab world, both online and with patients |
| 0:15.6 | in person. And I originally gave Sam a call because I wanted to ask him some questions as part of my |
| 0:20.2 | research process for a video I was working on about posture. So this conversation might come across as a little |
| 0:25.5 | more casual than other formal interviews that I've done. And that's because I actually never |
| 0:29.9 | planned on posting it anywhere originally. And I only recorded it just in case I wanted to pull out |
| 0:34.3 | some snippets from my YouTube video. But I thought our call ended up going so well and it was just so enlightening for me that I had to make sure that the full conversation |
| 0:41.6 | was put out there somewhere. So, as you'll see, we touch on a lot of common myths about posture, |
| 0:45.9 | like the idea that straight posture is the good posture, and slouching is the bad posture. We talk |

| 0:54.9 | and some science-based things you can do to either improve your posture or reduce your pain. |
| 0:59.6 | I think this is the first time that I've ever touched any of these topics either here on the |
| 1:03.1 | podcast or on my main YouTube channel. So I think a lot of it is going to be good new info for you |
| 1:07.9 | guys. And without further ado, I give you my full conversation about posture |
| 1:12.0 | and pain with Dr. Sam Spinelli. What I found, I don't know how you feel about this, I found like on |
| 1:18.7 | YouTube the messaging around like pain and posture and corrective exercise and stuff has been |
| 1:23.9 | pretty like fearmongery like kind of catastrophic like I don't know that's that's |
| 1:28.6 | that's just my take like I don't I know it's somewhat of your overall philosophy from following you |
| 1:33.1 | but what I what I want to do is basically just find a balance like I don't see myself as really an |
| 1:40.4 | extremist in either direction like the way I kind of see it is if people are taking |
| 1:45.3 | these exercises and doing them and it's motivating them to, you know, improve their posture, |
