Come Check Out Our FREE Neck PainWorkshop
JAN. 12 FROM 10–11 A.M.
Let’s face it: Most humans spend the vast majority of their days sitting. You do it while eating meals, navigating the nasty commute to work, responding to hundreds of emails, and binge-watching episodes of your favorite show on Netflix. So by the time you sprawl out on your bed to catch those precious eight hours of rest that your body desperately needs, many of you will have spent approximately 13 hours sitting in a single day. Interestingly, according to a survey commissioned by Ergotron, a company devoted to helping workers increase their overall mobility, 86 percent of American employees have to sit while working. Of that sitting population, 70 percent absolutely hate it. Some of this disdain may stem from the physical toll that this sedentary position takes on the body. The medical community recently coined the term “sitting disease” to discuss some of the possible negative side effects linked to sitting for prolonged periods of time, such as diabetes, certain types of cancer, and cardiovascular disease. This tendency to spend more time sitting increases as the weather grows colder during these winter months. It’s harder to get outside and stretch your legs when the temperatures make your teeth chatter.
For many of our patients here at Gilbert Physical Therapy, the increase in sitting hours during the winter combined with the lack of full-body stretching leads to severe neck pain. If you are experiencing new pains in your
neck or upper back area, or if you notice that the cold weather is causing an existing injury to flare up, call our office to register for our brand- new workshop. It’ll help treat the pain, teach you techniques to assist with your range of motion, and offer more information about helpful therapeutic exercises.
