Episode notes

Dr. Lindsay sits down with returning guest Dr. Friede Kiernan from the Healthy Families clinic about why desk work often causes discomfort, even when it feels “comfortable.” She emphasizes that the real issue is sustained, static positions and lack of movement, rather than perfect posture. Dr. Friede describes common complaints among desk workers (maybe you recognize your own pain pattern?) and explains how forward head and rounded-shoulder posture can strain joints and muscles, reduce motion, and contribute to dysfunctional breathing patterns. She gives some recommendations to combat these issues, and discusses how chiropractic care can help joint motion and nervous system input to support desk work.
