The Physiology of Performance

About this episode

What does it truly mean to move well? In this episode of Dual Coast Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Will Shiau, chiropractor, movement specialist, and human performance expert, for a deep dive into the science behind movement, function, and optimizing the human body. Dr. Will shares his unique approach to chiropractic care and wellness, discussing how movement quality, breathing mechanics, strength training, neurological function, and biomechanics all play critical roles in overall health and performance. We explore how dysfunction in one area of the body can create compensations elsewhere, leading to pain, limitations, and decreased performance. The conversation also dives into cranial work, neurokinetics, movement physiology, and how understanding the body's interconnected systems can help individuals improve their health, athletic performance, and longevity. In this episode, we discuss: ✅ Chiropractic care beyond pain relief ✅ The importance of breathing mechanics for health and performance ✅ Movement physiology and how the body adapts to stress ✅ Strength training and functional movement principles ✅ Neurokinetics and the brain-body connection ✅ Cranial work and its role in
