​Today, our jobs are requiring more and more of our time, energy, and focus.  For those who spend time at a desk, our minds may be working on overdrive, but our bodies are certainly not.
​People who sit for long periods tend to:
  • have more lower back problems
  • cut life expectancy
  • raise blood sugar
  • increase the risk of heart disease
​​​So what quick exercises can you do to help? Today we introduce the:

​​Thoracic Whip

​
  • Must be sitting
  • Hands interlocked against sternum
  • Using momentum, "whip" and rotate to one side 5-10 times and then repeat to the other side.  Each time, your body should spring you back to the middle.  Do NOT hold the movement in rotation...think fluid.
​Thank Dr. E of the manual therapist for this exercise.

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

Have a great week!
