We consulted with Dr. Bryan Lang of Whole Body Health Physical Therapy and asked him whether he could devise some exercises that could be beneficial to our creative audience, especially as we are all transitioning to working environments that are different from our regular ones (anyone else working at their kitchen tables during the shelter-at-home time?)
Dr. Lang immediately produced this series of short videos that won’t take more than a few minutes, and can have a powerful beneficial impact on your personal health and comfort. “I think that physical therapy (and I know I’m biased) is one of the most underutilized health providers with some of the best tools to help people with their musculoskeletal aches and pains. If physical therapy as a profession can have more opportunities to share our knowledge with people all around the world, we can create some serious change for a lot of people.”
