Fun fact about your spine π
Those chunky bones in the photo? They're your lumbar vertebrae, and they carry most of the load when you sit. Every time you park yourself on the couch for a few hours, the pressure on those discs actually increases compared to standing.
Here's the thing: sitting isn't the villain. But long, unbroken stretches of it can quietly tighten your hip flexors, load up your lower back, and wind up the muscles through your neck and shoulders. The longer you sit, the stiffer you feel when you finally stand up.
The fix is simpler than you think. A short walk between Netflix episodes, standing in the kitchen while the kettle boils, even a gentle stretch on the floor. Movement doesn't have to be a workout to make a real difference.
If things have been feeling a bit stiff or niggly lately, come in and let us have a look.
