Feeling stiff through your hips after sitting too long?

Vanessa shares why giving your glutes a bit more attention can make a real difference 🤍 Tight glutes are common when we sit a lot, and they can contribute to hip discomfort, lower back tension, reduced mobility, and even that feeling of being a bit off-balance when walking or standing.

In this reel, she shows a simple seated stretch you can do at home or in the office — an easy way to release tension, support better movement, and help you stay comfortable through your day. Small, regular habits like this can really support long-term mobility and help prevent those niggles building up.
