“Neutral spine,” “suck your belly button in,” are terms you often hear, but are they doing more damage than good?
Today, Matt Jones, Founder and Head Coach of ISOHEALTH ( Australia’s leading self defence and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy) chats with me all things spine related. A Strength and Conditioning Coach and Spine Specialist, Matt spent 3 years as a clinical consultant at The International Spine Centre in Adelaide. Hired by Australia’s elite organisations from law enforcement, to top professional sporting teams in the NBL and AFL, Matt shares his life changing injury, how to achieve optimal spinal alignment, the importance of breathing, common misconceptions and so much more..
Matt is always dropping knowledge bombs and today he gives you practical tips you can apply to your everyday life.
