If your back sounds like bubble wrap when you finish writing, gaming, or working at the computer—this episode is your rescue plan.
Mobility coach and Body Nerd Show host Alex Ellis joins us to talk repetitive strain, and how a few minutes a day can change everything. No yoga mat, gym, or guilt required.
I also introduce a new segment where I ask my guests a very important question…
You’ll learn:
• Quick 1-5 minute fixes
• Why flexibility ≠ mobility (and what to do instead)
• How to hack your dopamine addiction to build habits
• The only hard-and-fast fitness rule you need
Whether you write books or emails all day, this episode will help you move smarter, write longer, and feel human again.
