If you’re sitting in front of a computer for hours a day—this post is for you 🙌🏽

As a Physical Therapist, I’ve seen a noticeable rise in aches and pains that are directly linked to prolonged sitting and low daily movement.

For this 6-week protocol, we used the Incline Walking Treadmill alongside to track key health metrics.

We didn’t focus on intensity— we focused on consistency.

By adding daily walking and gradually increasing time, we saw:
↓ Resting Heart Rate → improved cardiovascular efficiency
↑ Heart Rate Variability → better recovery & regulation
↑ Average daily step count → more consistent movement

Along with these trends, we also saw improvements in energy, motivation, and a reduction in knee and back discomfort. 🙌🏽

You don’t need a perfect routine— you just need opportunities to ✨ MOVE MORE ✨

Reducing sedentary time even in simple, repeatable ways can make a meaningful difference in how your body functions and recovers.

That’s why I appreciate tools like the walking pad, it makes movement easier to integrate into your day and lifestyle.

Work better, live healthier

So many women are told discomfort is “just part of pregnancy” but it doesn’t have to be! 💥

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy during pregnancy can help with pain, better movement, and smoother recovery.

If you’re pregnant and I popped up on your algorithm— this may be your sign 💗🤲🏼

I took the Pelvic Mechanics for Professionals workshop and it was so refreshing to learn from the GOAT of birth professionals! 😍

As a pelvic health physical therapist, I’ve treated so many mamas prenatal and postpartum. Being completely honest, prior to this course labor and delivery itself felt like the in between mystery. It was so game changing taking this course to connect the pieces with movement, pelvic mechanics, and empowerment 💥

If you’re interested in learning more, I highly recommend checking out !
