Live Aligned with Dr. Brent
Hosted by Dr. Brent Anderson, this podcast draws on more than 35 years of clinical practice, research, and teaching. He is a doctor of physical therapy, professor, founder of Polestar Pilates, and pathokinesiologist. Dr. Brent has long been fascinated by the dynamic relationship between movement and pathology, and how understanding that relationship can help people move better, feel better, and live more aligned lives. Each episode features conversations with special guests, colleagues, and friends who are making meaningful contributions across healthcare, movement science, wellness, and education. Together, we explore how movement shapes not only our bodies, but how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world. Live Aligned is about curiosity, compassion, and clarity, inviting practitioners, students, and lifelong movers alike to think more deeply, move more intentionally, and be kind along the way.

Dr. Brent Anderson is joined by Dr. Marcia Perretto, a doctor of physical therapy, founder and CEO ...
You breathe about 20,000 times a day without thinking — but what if that automatic act could be trained to lower your blood pressure, sharpen your thinking, and even strengthen your heart? Dr. Lawrence Cahalin, clinical professor of physical therapy at the University of Miami and a Fellow of the American Physical Therapy Association and the American Heart Association, has spent his career studying exactly that. H...
