The ASRF Research for Practice Podcast

In this exciting episode, we catch up with chiropractic research rockstar, Dr Heidi Haavik, as she talks us through a new, groundbreaking paper offering new insights into an emerging area of research. We are talking about the default mode network - the part of our brains that is active when we aren't paying attention. Here, we daydream, ruminate, and much more. Chiropractic philosophy buffs have been thinking and talking about how chiropractic care might impact consciousness for a long time now. For the first time ever, we have some evidence as to how this might occur. We are also joined by Dr Joshua Tymms, from Advanced Biostructural Correction Australasia, to talk about the power of posture far beyond aesthetics.
