As physical therapists, we're familiar with the discomforts that can arise from spending long hours in static positions, especially common in workplace settings (or at home). From headaches and low back pain to carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica, we've seen it all!
While stress, sleep, and nutrition are all big factors that can contribute to these aches and pains, one of the best ways to prevent and manage them is by moving frequently throughout the day. That's why we've put together this At Work Program—to make it easier for you to add more activity and movement into your day. Created by physical therapists, these videos not only encourage movement but also incorporate exercises commonly used in rehabilitation to address and prevent postural-related conditions.
We suggest fitting these videos into your day as often as possible. Aim for 5-10 minutes of movement (so completing ONE of these videos) every 1-2 hours, or at least multiple times a day, to get the most out of the program. It does not have to be complicated. Pick the videos that are the easiest for you to complete, or feel best for your body! Just do them often :)
