Movement variability is a key concept related to work environment and work from home!
Don't forget to address dosage when building your work from home habits!
Capacity building is a proactive approach to improving your tolerance to challenging positions. The idea is to stress the body in a way that overloads the system but does not lead to significant pain/sensitivity...then recover and let the body adapt. This can be done in MANY different ways, however, we typically use traditional gym equipment such as barbells and dumbells. If you are interested in capacity building or looking for advice on specific programs we strongly suggest you reach out to us and/or join in 1:1 PT session!
Feel free to use these drills on a regular basis to integrate movement variability into your day! Getting out of a seated flexed posture and adding in rotation/extension through your spine can have a positive impact on your work day.
Try these drills out but go slowly and be careful as you explore new or challenging positions. Feel free to reach out to us with questions or join in on a 1:1 session with a PT!
