Quick Tip: When was your last Deskinetics check-in?
We're always excited about Deskinetics — a system to help combat the repetitive stress disorders so common for desk workers. (If you're new to the blog, check out past Deskinetics stretch + exercise videos like the Posterior Kinetic Chain Exercise and the AIS Pec Stretch.) But before we get moving at our desks, it's crucial to set up our workstations functionally. Check out this week's Quick Tip to make sure you have all your angles right. This can save you so much trouble later on! And as usual, if you're in pain from working at a desk, looking to consult, or want...
Read MoreQuick Tip: Will you fight deskworker syndrome today?
These days, many of us spend more time at a desk than we'd like. And those of us without desk jobs still find ourselves walking down the street, heads bent over our cell phones. As you know, these habits take a toll on our bodies, sometimes leading to upper crossed syndrome, back pain, or a host of other issues. For a long time, we've offered bodywork and quick tips to prevent these harmful patterns — and to treat them when they occur.

This week’s Quick Tip is a Psoas favorite. Join co-owner, Scott Schwartz, as he guides you through a simple, yet amazingly effective exercise to balance out your deskworker posture! The Psoas YouTube channel has over 125 Quick Tip Videos, which our massage therapists use daily as a tool to help clients continue their bodywork at home. Out of all of our videos, we recently discovered that the most suggested is an exercise, not our usual stretches that we suggest. It’s called the Posterior Kinetic Chain Exercise. Why we love the Posterior Kinetic Chain Exercise: Everyone can...
Read MoreQuick Tip: Posterior Kinetic Chain Exercise @ Planet Granite
This week we bring you another Quick Tip that was filmed at Planet Granite and it is part two of three that aims to give rock climbers (although these are good for everyone, especially deskworkers,) a few exercises to improve your performance. Who needs this exercise? The Posterior Kinetic Chain exercise is a common exercise that Psoas Massage + Bodywork gives to many of our desk workers. This exercise is extremely useful for climbers as well because the forward, rounded posture of climbers mimics the posture of desk workers. This exercise helps your upper back stay toned and ready to combat...
