Structure governs function.
This idea is what first hooked me on the philosophy of chiropractic - yes, I went to study chiro without ever seeing one myself - and the philosophy of chiropractic got me good 😂
It’s a simple concept but it’s so powerful.
What does it actually mean?
It means the way your body is directly affects the way it works.
If your spine has restrictions
If your pelvis is unbalanced
If your rib cage is tight
If your nervous system is under tension
Your body has to adapt.
And when the structure adapts, function changes.
💪🏻Muscles compensate
🫁Breathing patterns shift
🍑 Digestion can slow
🌿 Hormones can dysregulate
🏊♀️ Movement becomes inefficient
🧠 The nervous system stays on guard
Not because your body is broken.
But because it’s trying to survive in a less-than-ideal structure.
Your spine houses and protects your nervous system. This is the master control system of your body.
When the spine moves well and is aligned well, the brain and body communicate more efficiently.
Better communication = better function.
This isn’t just about pain.
It’s about:
🌿 How well you regulate stress
🌿 How well you sleep
🌿 How your baby feeds
🌿 How your child focuses
🌿 How your body heals
🌿 How you adapt to life
When structure improves, the body has more capacity.
And when the body has more capacity, function improves naturally. 🙌🏼
