March Madness Time
Hello lovely people,
With only a few weeks left of ski season, get after it! The days are numbered, but we’re still going strong and the season isn’t over yet.
Lately in the clinic, I’ve been noticing a common theme with clients who work at a desk and are dealing with pain or discomfort. This may sound familiar. While I often go over ergonomics 1:1, here’s a reminder in case it’s slipped.
Your desk setup might be contributing more than you think—neck pain, back pain, even that feeling of a collapsed torso or “bad posture.”
If you’re at a desk 20+ hours a week, your setup 100% matters.
What I recommend dialing in:
• Sit/stand desk
• Supportive chair
• Monitor at eye level
• Split keyboard (if you’re typing 10+ hours/week)
When sitting, make sure your body is supported:
• Hips slightly higher than your knees
• Feet fully on the ground
• Screen at eye level (to avoid “tech neck”)
What would you be able to do differently feeling 10% better?
Try a few of these changes and let me know—what percentage better do you feel once your setup is dialed in?
As you’re reading this… how are you sitting right now?
Are your hips higher than your knees?
Are your feet grounded?
Or maybe this is your moment to reconnect back to your body.
Check out the YouTube video below, that I made, on how to sit!
In February, I took a continuing education course focused on the legs and feet, with a deep dive into the knees.
We covered things like ACL injuries, meniscus issues, and lingering problems from old ankle sprains—looking at how these patterns show up and how to work with mischief in the lower extremity.
I’m feeling freshly tuned and excited to bring this work into my sessions.
Peace,
Katie Franzmann
