90% of Your Brain Power is Focused on Posture

Nobel Prize Recipient Dr. Roger Sperry demonstrated that 90% of the brain's energy output is devoted to maintaining upright posture in relation to gravity. That leaves just 10% to everything else, such as thinking and imagination.

So do you think that a 2-3% reduction in available energy for thinking and creativity make much of a difference over all? Definitely! Those of you who use a computer for hours each day with a poor ergonomics setup know what I am talking about.

A very common way to reduce the available energy is in a forward head posture, which Rolfer Erik Dalton calls the "42 Pound Head".
