Unfortunately, most of us spend our day sitting . . . . .

And as we all know, that has serious consequences for your quality of life — usually creating pain and dysfunction.

Shoulder Pain?

Whether it’s sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen, or hunched over staring at our phones, most of us do not do a good job of maintaining our posture.  If you spend enough time in this position, your shoulder can get out of alignment from short and tight chest and shoulder muscles, not to mention weak upper back muscles.

Here’s one of the movements I use to address shoulder pain.

Lower Back Pain?

Sitting for long periods of time, whether it’s at your desk, watching TV, or stuck in traffic, can genuinely be a pain in the back. Goodness knows, between work and the “new” normal, we all spend too much time sitting. Strengthening the glutes (butt) and stretching quads (thighs) is a good place to start when you have back pain.

Here is one of the movements I use to address back pain.

Knee Pain?

Yet another consequence of sitting too long, knee pain is absolutely limiting to anyone’s quality of life. Unless you’ve had impact to the knee from a sport or a fall, chances are pretty good it’s an issue of tight leg muscles, and potentially weak glutes (butt).

After some solid self-massage of the problem areas, this is one of the many stretches I find really gets results.
