A 4-week program for the chronically tight
Designed specifically for people who sit at a computer for most of the day. This program works through the full desk-worker compensation pattern: stiff thoracic spine, shortened hip flexors, inhibited glutes, and locked-up cervical spine. Each session is 15–25 minutes and requires no equipment.
