ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Dr. Mike Bhatt. I was born in Manchester, England, and moved to Canada when I was seven. After completing my education in doctor of chiropractic in 1992, I moved to Austin, Texas. I was a co-founder of one of the first multidisciplinary spine clinics in central Texas, the Spine and Rehabilitation Center, LLC. Upon forming Pinnacle Sports Performance, LLC in 2007, I began to focus my career on sports-related conditions. I am honored to be part of the PGA and PGA Champions Tour medical staff since 2013. I am known to my patients, athletes, and friends as Dr. Bhattman.
About Kenzi Sits Up Tall: The genesis for this illustrated children’s book centered around the global pandemic in 2020. As adults and children were forced to be homebound, many core principles were lost or altered. In my clinical practice I began to see more and more children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with neck pain, back pain, and headaches. As I spoke with them, I discovered anxiety and depressive behaviors. Shaking my head, I correlated much of this discovery to be a result of poor ergonomics, posture, breathing habits, lack of exercise, and poor eating and drinking habits. In response, I created a program to help corporations called the 7-Minute Huddle, which incorporated a weekly program that focused on two minutes of mindfulness and breathing, four minutes of postural/body exercises, and one minute of a Dandy Deed. The 7-Minute Huddle was then incorporated into a local elementary school. Frankly, I was pleasantly shocked to see the amount of positive feedback from the children and parents who participated as well!
Dr Bhatt ‘s mission is to exercise the brains and bodies of our current and future workforce by teaching the value of good postural hygiene, breathing, and proper workspace habits and too share simple postural exercise protocols, pearls of wisdom, and knowledge formulated over his last 29 years of clinical practice.
