If you are hurting during your office work day, or sitting at the computer after work trying to relax, you are in good company. Even though I don’t have chronic pain any more, my neck and shoulders often hurt at the end of the day from poor posture. When I found Undulation Exercises my body immediately said:”YES”. As as dancer these feel familiar, and yet so simple that anyone can use them. Anita Boser, a Hellerwork practitioner is offering these easily accessible and important “exercise” moves. As Anita says in her instructions, even the smallest movements can be helpful, indeed, slowing down, and just noticing which part of our spine moves easily, which part is stiffer, are important elements of doing it “right”.
Download a handout with several excercises you can do right in your office chair. And please visit her website, with many articles, more videos, and her books and CDs are discounted at this time.
Here is Anita in a video showing how to loosen up hands and wrists.
I hope you will enjoy the fluid movement inspired by this information. For me it is not just the knowing, but the remembering to do them. Did you see my post Just pause? Well, what a great combo, pause and undulate.
