Spending long hours at a desk can take a toll on your back, neck, and wrists—but with the right ergonomic setup, you can work comfortably and protect your posture. Make sure your monitor is at eye level, your chair provides proper lumbar support, and you’re taking short movement breaks throughout the day to avoid stiffness and strain.

Even small adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel by the end of the workday.

🖥️ Noticing discomfort? Our expert therapists can help you identify posture issues and relieve pain.

🏃Gearing Up for a Turkey Trot or Fall Fun Run?

Make the most of your miles by prepping your body the smart way! Start with proper warm-ups and dynamic stretches to get your muscles ready and reduce the risk of injury.

✅ Try moves like:

* Leg swings
* Arm circles
* Walking lunges
* Hip openers

These help boost circulation and improve mobility before you hit the pavement.

After your run, don’t skip your cooldown! Gentle static stretches like hamstring and calf stretches can ease tightness and aid recovery.

With the right prep and pacing, you'll cross that finish line feeling strong, energized, and injury-free. Let’s go!
