Did you know the average desk-job worker spends 8–12 hours a day sitting?
That’s more than half of your waking hours — and your body feels it.

Long periods of sitting can lead to:
💥 Tight hips & hamstrings
💥 Neck and back pain
💥 Decreased circulation
💥 Lower energy & reduced mobility

But here’s the good news — small daily habits make a BIG difference! 🙌

Try these simple movement breaks:
✔️ Stand up every 30–45 minutes
✔️ Take a 2–3 minute walk around the office
✔️ Stretch your chest, hip flexors, and upper back
✔️ Switch to a standing desk for part of the day
✔️ Do seated core activations to support posture

Your body is made to MOVE — and we’re here to help you keep it feeling its best. 💪✨

Need help with pain from sitting?
Stop by Accel Physical Therapy and let our experts get you moving comfortably again!

Desk Stretch of the Day ✨🧑‍💻

If you spend long hours at a desk or working with your hands in front of you, this simple stretch is a great way to break up your day and reset your posture!

🔹 How to do it:
• Clasp your hands together behind your back
• Straighten your elbows
• Lift your hands slightly away from your body
• Bring your chest up and head up
• Breathe deeply and hold for 20–30 seconds

🔹 You should feel this stretch in:
✔️ Front of the shoulders
✔️ Chest
✔️ Forearms
✔️ Neck

This stretch helps counteract forward head and rounded shoulder posture, improves mobility, and reduces stiffness from prolonged sitting or repetitive hand use.

At Accel Physical Therapy, we focus on simple, effective strategies to keep you moving and feeling your best throughout the workday. 💙

Whether at the office or working from home, proper ergonomics can protect you from overuse injuries and postural strain.

Quick Tips:
• Desk & Chair: Keep your feet flat on the floor, knees at 90°, and chair supporting your lower back.
• Computer Setup: Top of your screen at eye level, about an arm’s length away, and keep your keyboard & mouse close to avoid reaching.

Small adjustments = big relief for your neck, shoulders, and wrists! Stay mindful, move often, and protect your body while you work. 💻

Pet of the Week: Bella & Ginger 🐾💕
Meet Bella, the Bavarian Mountain Hound, and her adventure buddy Ginger—two trail-loving pups who don’t let a little snow slow them down! ❄️🐶

These two remind us that staying active can be fun, playful, and full of fresh air. Whether it’s a snowy walk or a quick outdoor break, movement keeps joints happy, muscles strong, and spirits high.

Thanks for inspiring us to get out and explore, Bella and Ginger!

There’s something special about watching the sunrise over Merrymeeting Bay at Thorne Head Preserve—crisp air, quiet trails, and a reminder to slow down and move with intention.

At Accel Physical Therapy, we’re all about finding simple ways to support your physical and mental well-being. Getting outdoors, even for a short walk, boosts circulation, reduces stress, and encourages healthy, pain-free movement.

Bundle up, breathe deep, and start your day with a little Maine magic. ❄️✨

Strong Grip Matters! 💪

At Accel Physical Therapy, we know grip strength is more than just hand power—it supports your entire body and daily life. Here are 3 key benefits of strong grip strength:

🖐️ Improves Daily Function – From opening jars to carrying groceries, a strong grip makes everyday tasks easier and safer.

🏋️ Enhances Overall Strength & Performance – Grip strength is closely linked to arm, shoulder, and core strength, helping you move better and lift with confidence.

🦴 Reduces Injury Risk – Strong hands and forearms provide better joint support and control, helping prevent strains and overuse injuries.

Many everyday activities naturally improve and challenge grip strength, including wood cutting, log stacking, shoveling, yard work, gardening, and home projects. Functional movements like these keep your hands strong and resilient!

If hand pain or weakness is holding you back, Accel Physical Therapy is here to help you build strength and move with confidence.

Your wrist and forearm power every grip, lift, and daily task. At Accel Physical Therapy, we break down the essentials so you can better understand movement—and pain.

Flexors (palm side)
Bend the wrist and support gripping.
• Flexor carpi radialis
• Flexor carpi ulnaris
• Flexor digitorum superficialis & profundus

Extensors (back of forearm)
Straighten and stabilize the wrist during typing, lifting, and weight-bearing.
• Extensor carpi radialis longus & brevis
• Extensor carpi ulnaris
• Extensor digitorum

Forearm Rotators
Turn the palm up or down.
• Supinator
• Pronator teres & pronator quadratus

Tight or imbalanced forearm muscles often contribute to wrist pain, elbow pain, or grip weakness.

Struggling with wrist or forearm discomfort?
Accel Physical Therapy is here to help you move better, stronger, and pain-free.
