Another rant-filled episode of the Nate and Hannah series. Nate and I talk about a couple of awesome “success” stories in the clinic, some crazy stories our patients have told us, and we discuss the recent hot topics of neutral spines, text neck, and forward head posture.

- The power of simple strength training

- The power of misinformation

- Self-efficacy

- Stress and adaptation

- Cortisone, Hyaluronic acid, dry needling, and pain

- Knees over toes

- Loss of cervical curvature and lack of evidence
