Why Posture, Breathing & the Nervous System Drive Pain, Performance & Burnout with Kasia Galica
Chronic pain, poor posture, and burnout aren’t discipline problems — they’re body system problems. In this episode, we explore how posture, breathing, vision, and environment shape health and performance. Kasia details how our diaphragm is the strongest muscle and it is what gives us structure if we train it and use it properly. She is a posture restoration specialist and we unpack what that means and how it works in this very informative episode.
We cover:
Why chronic pain may not be originating where you feel it
The role of breathing and vision in posture
How screens impact development and movement
Why corporate wellness often backfires
A smarter approach to long-term health
This episode will change how you think about movement, work, and wellness.

When I tapped out with those modalities, I plowed forward. Every client has taught me more than I could ever learn in any course setting. Bodies are not pristine skeleton models or lifeless cadavers. We are walking, breathing, processing, adapting, evolving stories. Through my own continued injuries and the clients I couldn’t fully help, I realized I needed to learn more. Since February 2020, I’ve been on my own restoration journey and have taken seven Postural Restoration Institute Certifications as well as completed a three month mini-residency with my mentor and PRI Faculty member, Dan Houglum. I consider myself a forever student because I believe nature has many hidden truths, and we definitely don’t know half of them. I now invite clien…Read More
