Sitting is toxic and absolutely pervasive. Entrepreneurs, knowledge workers and digital creators are building magnificent brains (even second ones), but their bodies are breaking. We've digitised the solution and the protocol is as follows:


Optimal Healing and Recovery:

  • Without priming for healing, the rest of the steps are irrelevant. As a bare minimum, we deal with sleep, stress and refined sugar.


Spine Ergonomics:

  • Leaving our body in any single position for long is stressful - we use postures with the least stress, and for the spine it is neutral. Pay attention to those natural curves.


Spine Stability:

  • A lifetime of not supporting our own spine has left us unable to support our own spine. We develop the skill and strength to support sustainable spine positions in many activities.


Hip Mobility:

  • Decades of flexed positions have left them incapable of many other positions. This mobility must be restored to move our hips more than we do our lower backs.


Shoulder Mobility:

  • Excessive forward rounding of our shoulders has left them rounded forward. We restore mobility to avoid using our spine when we should be using our shoulders, and to take the pressure off our neck that forward shoulders create.
