Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My legs give out and tire so fast
- I’ll look up and realize I’ve been frozen in the exact same position for three hours straight without shifting once
- I straighten up for about thirty seconds and then I’m slumped right back over
- Sitting still to meditate just lets my mind spin, but I also can’t do anything jarring
- Years at a desk have left me hunched, with a weak back and rounded shoulders, and isolated gym exercises feel disconnected from real life
