The Physical and Mental Health Benefits from Moving Regularly

Over the past few years the working landscape has significantly evolved which has enabled flexible working environments and a significant promotion of hybrid and work from home opportunities. Whilst employers providing flexibility has quickly become an essential for employees and provided so many positive outcomes, there are some challenges this new way of working to consider. 

Some of these challenges include the physical ergonomic set up for some work from home offices. Not all households were set up for work from home offices and in some instances needing to accomodate a number of people in the same house working from home, often sending a member to the kitchen table or other impromptu offices. The physical set up can also be composed with other elements such as screen setups, lighting and chairs. 

With working from home on the rise we have also seen a significant decrease in general mobility and step count through the day. Working from home reduced the incidental walking that you may encounter with travel, collaborating with colleagues or attending meetings through the day. People are often stationary at the desk for long periods and missing the general movement you may experience in the office. 

The benefits of regular movement are not only limited to those working from home, there are many health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle which can be experienced with long periods of sitting when in an office . These health risks from people who sit for long periods throughout the day with little activity include; cardiovascular disease, diabetes type II, hypertension/high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low back pain and neck pain. 

Melanie launched The Good Move drawing upon her experience working as a physiotherapist, clinical pilates instructor and more recently workplace injury managment. The Good Move is a series of short pilates based videos that are designed to promote regular movement and include office friendly options. The benefits of regular movement throughout the day decreased the health risks associated with sedentary behaviour. There are also mental health benefits by having brain breaks and resetting through out the day. 

Employers offering this services as a health and wellbeing benefit for their employees is ensuring their employee benefits are also in line with hybrid working by being an online service. The importance of health and well-being is essential to ensure we keep employees engaged, reduce the incidence of workplace injuries associates with sustained posture and sitting and also promote the mental health benefits from regular exercise.

won’t comment this on the same post because it’s probably not what they want to hear rn but i know that some people HAVE “cured” their CFS, or rather have been able to manage it and return to moderate activity levels, by essentially “gradually building stamina.” but the approach and mentality behind the pacing approach is SOOO different than what the average person assumes “gradually building stamina” must look like, and always errs on the side of MINIMUM activity because of the seriousness of PEM. like it sucks to have the 3 mile walks you were once accustomed to suddenly make you bedridden the next day. that’s why pacing would mean, for a very long period of time, going on… a five minute walk, if that’s where you’re at. a one minute walk around your living space a few times a day. or ten seconds of standing, if completely bedridden. but if you’re not bedridden and are doing things around the house, even just if sitting up to work at a computer, pacing ALSO means laying down flat and having a full body rest multiple times a day, scheduled throughout the day. it means not just allowing rest, but ENFORCING it. the barrier to people with CFS slowly building their stamina back up is usually this idea that part of that endeavor involves willpower, that if you can just will it hard enough, try harder, the CFS will go away. how could you possibly need MORE rest when you’re doing nothihg? when this mentality is the opposite of what CFS needs. people who’ve successfully gotten their old lives “back” after CFS have done it by respecting PEM, erring on the side of caution, being so gentle with themselves and careful not to send themselves into a flare-up.

Ok so. I have chronic tailbone pain from a break 25 years ago that never healed right. My tailbone, according to the PT who saw me earlier this year for pelvic floor issues, is bent into my body at almost a 90-degree angle. Last night these stretches kicked the chronic pain from a 5 to barely a 2! You better believe I'll be reprising them tonight! To be fair I already did child's pose and happy baby for 10 long breaths each, I've done a less effective variant of the supine figure 4 for many years, and I can't do the forward fold or adductor opener thanks to my vertigo/balance issues, but the combo of everything I could do here was so damn effective! Sharing here in case it helps someone else.

Embracing Water Walking Aerobics for Healing

How often do you walk or run? It’s been a while since I’ve been able to walk comfortably. My back just won’t let me, and every step feels like a reminder that things aren’t quite right. Walking on land used to be part of my routine, though admittedly, it never lasted long. Every year, I’d start off strong, determined to walk more, but after a few months, it would fizzle out—walking on land just…
