When we focus on our health or bio-optimization, we often think about what’s happening inside the body—our blood values, metabolism, cellular health, and other internal markers. But we don’t always consider how our structural health plays a vital role in the bigger picture. The way our body is aligned affects everything from movement efficiency and pain levels to nervous system function and even longevity.
At Jyzen, we recognize that true optimization isn’t just about what’s happening internally—it’s also about ensuring the body’s structure supports balance, strength, and resilience for lifelong health.
Here are some ways structural health impacts our overall health in ways you may not have thought of before:
Supports Efficient Fluid Flow: Proper alignment helps facilitate the drainage of cerebral spinal fluid, which plays a critical role in brain health and detoxification.
Enhances Nervous System Function: A well-aligned body allows for optimal nerve flow, supporting mental clarity, focus, and overall cognitive health.
Reduces Inflammation: Structural imbalances can contribute to inflammation, which impacts internal organs and metabolic processes—alignment helps mitigate this.
Improves Oxygen and Nutrient Distribution: Good posture and alignment improve circulation, ensuring your body’s cells receive the nutrients they need for optimal function.
Boosts Immune Function: When structural health is optimized, the body’s systems can work more efficiently, strengthening overall immunity.
Supports Hormonal Balance: Misalignment can stress the body, disrupting the endocrine system—structural health helps keep hormones in harmony.
Supports Movement Efficiency: Proper alignment ensures smoother, more efficient movement, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
Prevents Chronic Pain: Misalignments can lead to long-term discomfort, influencing posture, gait, and body mechanics.
Improves Athletic Performance: When the body is aligned, it allows for maximum strength, flexibility, and endurance during physical activity.
Promotes Overall Healing: Addressing structural imbalances can help the body heal faster and function better in the long term.
Improves Longevity: Ensuring your body is well-aligned helps mitigate wear and tear on the joints, potentially slowing age-related decline.
Prevents the Need for Surgery: Proper alignment reduces excessive wear and tear on joints and tissues, potentially preventing injuries that might otherwise require surgical intervention. Surgeries later in life that require anesthesia can have a significant impact on overall health and brain function, as anesthesia has been linked to cognitive decline. Even if you're in good health, undergoing surgery can sometimes trigger a decline in both physical and mental function that persists. (This is a topic I am very passionate about and will be covering more deeply in future articles and videos on my Instagram page.)
Structural health is an area that holds great importance and has been a significant part of my journey for many years. When I was eight years old, I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The accident left my pelvis twisted and tilted, which created structural imbalances that affected my body for decades. As someone who loves to stay active—weightlifting, cycling, and dancing—I’ve seen how these imbalances can lead to problems over time. When your structure isn’t aligned properly, even simple movements can exacerbate existing issues.
This is why structural health is so critical. Symmetry in the body isn’t just about looking balanced—it’s about how you feel and move every day. Addressing structural imbalances through corrective exercises, manual therapies, and advanced technologies has made all the difference in my life.
At Jyzen, we have cutting-edge tools to assess and analyze your structure. Using technologies like KinoTek 3D imaging and RunDNA gait analysis, we evaluate how your body moves and pinpoint asymmetries that need attention. But we don’t stop at analysis. We’ve assembled an incredible team of practitioners to help unwind these patterns.
I’ve personally worked with:
-Our physical therapist and functional movement coach, Tammara Moore DPT, who prescribed targeted exercises to correct my posture and pelvis tilt.
-Our deep tissue therapists, Paul and Muriel, who use myofascial release to break down years of adhesions.
-Shockwave therapy, both focused and radial, which helps release tension, stimulate healing, and address old injuries.
-Regenerative therapies, including peptides like BPC-157, to accelerate soft tissue healing.
Through this combination of treatments, I’ve been able to overcome years of compensatory patterns and restore balance to my body. This process has not only allowed me to pursue my favorite activities but has also helped me move with confidence, free from fear of aggravating old issues.
Structural health is foundational. When your body is aligned and supported, it sets the stage for better cognitive function, biological optimization, and overall well-being. I invite you to explore how our Jyzen Body team can support you in your own journey toward healing and vitality.
