💻🪑 Did you know the average person spends over 9 hours a day sitting?
A 2012 study revealed we spend about 64 hours a week sitting, 28 hours standing, and 11 hours lounging — even if we exercise regularly.
Prolonged sitting often leads to slouching, poor posture, and a cascade of health challenges including:
⚡️ Muscle stiffness
⚡️ Back and neck pain
⚡️ Reduced circulation
⚡️ Fatigue
⚡️ Joint strain
👉 A good rule of thumb: for every hour of sitting, try to stand or move for 10–15 minutes. Even small changes, like using a standing desk, can make a big difference. Movement keeps your blood flowing, your posture strong, and your energy up.
At SOMA Massage & Wellness, we’re here to help counter the effects of all that sitting — from easing tight muscles to restoring balance in your body. 🌿✨
