#196 - Realigning your Health with Posture with Mark Thiesmeyer Hook

7d ago 49:11

MP3•Episode home

Today’s guest is Mark Thiesmeyer Hook, a seasoned exercise physiologist, registered dietitian, and entrepreneur. Mark has a deep understanding of lower back pain and his own personal story with chronic pain profoundly influenced his professional path.

Mark is the founder of Better Living Fitness, where for over 25 years, he and his team have helped clients throughout the world restore balance, build strength, and move with less pain. More recently, he launched Align Athlete, a company focused on innovative tools that help you mobilize and realign your body for better performance and lasting relief.

In this conversation, we dive into the powerful connection between physical alignment and both acute and chronic pain, and how small shifts in your body's structure can lead to big changes in how you feel.
