Posture and balance are often treated as mechanical problems—strengthen this, stabilize that, cue alignment and hope it sticks.
But what if we’re missing a foundational driver that quietly influences all of it?
In this live webinar, internationally recognized physical therapist Mary Massery joins PN Medical Chief Scientist Dr. Nina Bausek to explore the often-overlooked relationship between breathing mechanics, trunk stability, posture, and balance —across both pediatric and adult populations.
This session is designed for clinicians, caregivers, and curious professionals who want a deeper, more integrated understanding of movement.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
How breathing mechanics interact with trunk stability and postural control
Why balance challenges may persist despite strength and alignment work
How developing and injured nervous systems rely on pressure management and breathing strategies
Clinical insights that bridge theory, research, and real-world practice
New ways to observe posture and balance through a respiratory lens
WHY THIS MATTERS
Many posture and balance interventions fail —not because they’re wrong, but because they’re incomplete.
By understanding breathing as part of the postural system, clinicians and caregivers can rethink assessment, cueing, and progression in a way that supports more efficient, adaptable movement.
This webinar offers a reframing that complements—not replaces—what you already know.
Dr. Massery is an internationally recognized leader in linking breathing mechanics to posture and motor control. She has delivered over 1,000 professional presentations worldwide and pioneered the concept of managing trunk pressures as a framework for core stabilization. She is the recipient of the American Physical Therapy Association’s Florence Kendall Practice Award for outstanding contributions to physical therapy practice.
