Restore PT: How Lower Back Pain and Neck Pain Are Connected

BEST STRETCHES AFTER A DAY AT A DESK

Patient Success Stories

“I’m so happy I found Restore and I highly recommend anyone there!”

We lead extremely sedentary lives these days compared to 30 or 40 years ago. Millions of people spend several hours each day sitting at a desk, without bothering to get up to do anything other than visit the restroom. When you’re younger, you may not notice the effects of sitting all day, but boy oh boy, as you age...we promise you’ll start to realize the impact this habit has on your body! People who spend much of their day in a sitting position are at a higher risk of developing serious conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Many of these individuals may also be at risk of suffering from repetitive use injuries. Luckily, there are various stretches that can help combat the adverse effects of sitting for 8 hours a day. Try these 3 stretches next time you’re feeling stiff! Rotation Lunge — Take a big step forward with your right foot into a lunge from a standing position, making sure your right knee does not extend past your toes. Hands should be placed on either side of your right foot. Lift your right arm toward the ceiling while turning your gaze upward. Exhale slowly and try to rotate a little deeper. Repeat on the other side. Shoulder Opener — Stand tall and straight, with a towel or belt in each hand behind your back. Raise your arms behind you as far as you can without getting out of breath. As you lift the towel, pull your shoulders back and together. Low Cobra — Lie facedown on a foam roller or set of yoga blocks with your ankles resting on them. As you raise your head up and back, press your forearms into the floor and pull your shoulders back.

“Absolutely amazing! They were very attentive and thorough during our consult and able to pinpoint exactly what was causing pain in my neck and lower back, something that no other practice was able to do. My hips were out of alignment and her plan of action helped me feel so much better! I had more energy, mobility, and no pain. I’m so happy I found Restore and I highly recommend anyone there!” —Asjarai — actual 5 Star Google Review We Want to Hear Your Success Story By sharing your success story you can help us reach more people in our community — inspiring someone to find relief from pain and become stronger and healthier.
