Are you a Professional “Sitter?”
Over ninety percent of you sit most of the day for your jobs. You sit at a desk, work at a computer, drive in cars, fly on airplanes. As a result, perhaps you have hip pain, lower back pain, stiffness in the middle and upper back, and hold stress in your shoulders and neck, recurring headaches, and jaw pain.
In the past months, I’ve heard so many of you express your deep desire to find a way to relieve and counter the negative impact of a job where you sit for hours each day; you tell me you have a nagging feeling that this repetitive “lack of movement” is having a negative impact on your health and well being. However, it is not the sitting itself that causes the negative impact, but the LACK OF MOVEMENT IN SITTING. In other words, one can move dynamically, in a well organized way and with variations in sitting, just as in standing, lying down, etc. And when that happens, being seated is easy, comfortable and not static.
