Cut through the confusion and take control of your health

Welcome!

Do you spend a lot of time sitting. Maybe at a desk, in the car, or on the couch?

If so, you might be dealing with Sitters Disease (yes, it’s a real thing). It shows up as tight hips, low back pain, stiff necks, and headaches. It can make even simple things like walking or sleeping feel frustrating.

​

But here's the good news: You can start feeling better with just a few small changes!

Myth vs Fact

The Myth:

You think "I'm just getting old, that's why my knees hurt."

​

The Facts:

Nope. Most of the time, it's not age. It's tight calves, quads and piriformis muscles pulling the knees out of alignment. Stretching and walking backward can relieve the pain quickly; often within days.

​

The Science:

When you sit for long periods, your hip and spinal muscles tighten. That stiffness pulls your whole body out of alignment. Your hips shift, your lower back hurts, and it even messes with your neck. It’s all connected!

Quick Win

If you're suffering from achy knees, hips, back or neck, try adding these simple stretches into your day.

Start at your feet & ankles and work your way up to your neck.

  • Calves
  • Quads
  • Hips
  • Glutes
  • Shoulders

What Your Body Needs to Heal from Sitters Disease:

​

  1. Mineral Support - Magnesium Sulfate is such a great supplement! It also helps calm inflammation, achy legs and supports healing from injuries.
  2. Real Salt - If you're only using plain table salt, your muscles are missing key minerals. Try Redmond Real Salt or Pink Himalayan Salt in your water. It helps your body hold on to the hydration and minerals it needs to relax and repair.
  3. Additional Help - If you're dealing with chronic joint pain, consider adding Glucosamine, Chondroitin or MSM to your routine. These work beautifully alongside magnesium to help your joints move smoothly and pain-free.

​

​Magnesium Sulfate​

Most people with muscle tension are low in magnesium. Magnesium sulfate (like what's found in Epsom salts) is amazing for relaxing tight muscles without the harsh laxative effect in other forms of magnesium.

Start slow! 1 pill twice daily for a week or so. Then bump up to 2 pills as needed.

Client Story

A client in his 40s came in, convinced his knee pain meant he was “just getting old” and he'd have to give up running as his favorite exercise. But after adding a few simple stretches and walking backward daily, he was running again within weeks. No surgery. No prescriptions. Just natural healing.

Foundational Habits

In addition to the stretches mentioned above, try walking backwards! Yes, really.

Walk up your stairs backward twice a day. Or take a few steps backward on the grass. It strengthens your knees, realigns your legs and helps knee pain. Clients are shocked by how quickly this works.

Your body wants to move and feel good. Let’s give it the minerals, movement, and support it needs to bounce back from sitting too much.

​

Here's to progress, not perfection!
