Posture Isn’t What You Think: Ellie Dalton on Pain, Movement, and Stress
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Posture, chronic pain, stress, sleep, and movement are more connected than most people realize. In this episode, Dr. Sami Estrada talks with Ellie Dalton (Posture Ellie) about why posture is not just about “sitting up straight,” but about improving the way the whole body moves.
Ellie shares how posture therapy can help reduce pain, improve breathing, support better sleep, and influence stress and nervous system regulation. They also discuss emotional tension in the body, trauma, barefoot shoes, common posture mistakes, and why people of any age can improve how they feel by changing their movement patterns.
Whether you struggle with back pain, neck tension, poor sleep, stiffness, or stress, this episode offers a new and hopeful way to think about healing through movement.
