Summary
Alex Novicki, known on Instagram as @alexfascia, joins me behind the chair to talk posture, neck pain, and why the nervous system may be shaping more of your body than you realize. We break down fascia in plain language, how stress and fight or flight show up physically, and why so many people feel tight even when they stretch, train, or get adjusted. A grounded conversation about body mechanics, modern overstimulation, and what it actually feels like to work with fascia instead of forcing the body into submission.
