Who says meetings have to be held sitting completely still around a conference table? If everyone is willing-and if it’s not a PowerPoint presentation-conduct your next meeting while you’re all walking laps around the building. Or if you already have a standing desk, make it even more active with a balance board. When you’re pumping gas, don’t get back into the car to wait march in place, stretch, or jog around your vehicle a few times. If you’re watching TV, get up and move every time there’s a commercial-or better yet, tidy up, pace around, or stretch while you’re watching. Walk around, march in place, do some lunges. Got a long phone call to make? No one says you have to sit down while you’re talking (even if it’s a video chat).
Here are six tips for keeping your body moving well all day long.
Being sedentary can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, weight gain, poor posture, and muscle degeneration.īut with active sitting (also called dynamic sitting), you’re making a commitment to your body that, even though you’re not technically exercising, you’re still taking the time to keep things moving and flowing. Moving our muscles makes everything flow smoothly through our body, so it makes sense that, when we’re not moving, things just aren’t flowing as well. And these days, with email, online shopping, direct deposits, and other such conveniences making it so we don’t have to get up and go somewhere, we’re getting around even less than before. When we’re sedentary for long periods of time-whether it’s a regular thing like working at a desk all day, or an occasional event like a long airplane flight or a Netflix marathon-sitting without moving affects our body and mind. These are all examples of oxymorons: two words that are commonly used together, but that seem to contradict each other. If this sounds like the treatment approach you have been looking for, we know we will be a great fit.“Working vacation.” “Exact estimate.” “Jumbo shrimp.” We understand the value of time and provide exercises that are optimal to your recovery. We also believe in repetition to make lasting tissue change, and that working on your unique body’s specific needs at home is an essential part of progressing you to the next level.
#Keep it moving manual#
We utilize both passive massage therapy and active patient participation with manual and non-manual treatment to achieve the most optimal results.
We identify and treat mechanical restrictions locally and globally, and integrate the new mobility into the whole system right there in the moment. Given our combined experience in the fields of Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy, we believe a well-rounded treatment approach requires hands on interventions from start to finish. We also know it is important to stay the course if your end goal is meaningful to you. We understand that recovery is not always linear, and there can be ups and downs along the way. We investigate deeper into your unique individual composition to provide the missing link in your recovery. We view every patient as a whole being with interconnected and interdependent systems. At Keep It Moving Physical Therapy & Wellness, our mission is to meet you wherever you are on the injury/performance continuum and to provide you with hands on treatment and guidance necessary to get you to the next level.
