🤯 “Posture Doesn’t Matter”? One of the Top PT Journals Actually Published This…

One of the most prestigious journals in our field came out with a paper claiming that posture is irrelevant.I remember thinking: What on earth are we doing?

So I immediately filmed a video demonstrating how absurd that claim is.I took a patient with clear impingement syndrome — pain with arm elevation.

I asked him to raise his arm → pain.Then I said:

“Pin your shoulders back and down. Try again.”

Boom — pain gone instantly zero fancy equipment. Zero complicated interventions. Just position.

🤦‍♂️ The Bigger Issue

A lot of research that gets published today is historically wrong or disconnected from what actually happens in clinic.And the scary part? Many of these claims can be disproven in 30 seconds.

Just like the “SI joint doesn’t move” myth.If that were true, humanity would be biomechanically doomed my own SI research showed clearly that this claim simply cannot be true.

🔥 Clinicians Need to Trust Their Eyes

Evidence is important — but clinical reality matters more. When a simple positional correction eliminates pain instantly, you cannot ignore posture you cannot ignore biomechanics.

We need more clinicians who actually treat patients shaping the conversation —not just theorists who haven’t touched a patient in years or blindly follows most research that is an historical fact that it is most likely wrong.

Watch this video below, this works on a good percent of impingement patients for me!
