Working at a desk comes with some common areas of stiffness and discomfort, like chronic headaches, neck and jaw tension, low back pain, hip, knee and foot tension and pain.
This 4-part series will give you a foundation of techniques to alleviate the stiffness and discomfort that comes along with working at a desk all day long.
Unpacking the Chair Baggage (UCB) Part 1 is the perfect place to start and will give you a few tips you can do right at your desk to stop the headache in its tracks and somethings you can do to break up all of the sitting!
UCB Part 2 is a sequence to empower you to alleviate headaches, neck, shoulder and jaw pain, as well as de-stressing your entire body.
UCB Part 3 is an incredibly effective sequence for alleviating tension in the lower body--back, knee and hip pain, as well as decompressing the joints and re-energizing the muscles of the lower body.
UCB Part 4 features stand-alone techniques that you can do at your workstation, intermittently throughout the day or at the end of the work day when you don't want to do ANYTHING, but can still sneak in something passive and easy that will help you alleviate tension in your spine and hips.

Your Instructor
Hi there! I'm Danielle Beller. I've worked in the wellness industry
since 2001. I've been a Manual Therapist for over 19 years, however, 10 years
in I began developing overuse injuries from the postures required for
working on my clients. What began as
aches and stiffness developed into debilitating pain, so severe that it
threatened my livelihood and my quality of life. Out of necessity, I
began down a path of exploration seeking out techniques to allow me to
continue the work I love and to preserve my ability to live an active
and pain-free life. And what I
discovered was a new passion for helping others do the same for themselves.
Fast forward a 9 years and I have now had the pleasure to teach
hundreds of people simple self-care techniques to help them relieve
pain, reduce stress, make dramatic improvements in their athletic
endeavors and take an empowered approach to their health and well-being.
I deeply believe that as a society, we're moving away from only relying
on medication and surgeries to deal with pain and ailments to a more
empowered place. Integrating self-care techniques into our daily lives
can not only address issues as they arise, but also serve as a
preventative. Maybe you live an active lifestyle and simply want to
prevent injury, so that you can continue to be active and independent
into your golden years. Or if you have chronic pain, maybe you are
searching for a way to help yourself heal, so you can get back to the
activities or hobbies you enjoy. Or perhaps your occupation requires
repetitive motion and your livelihood depends upon your ability to
perform those functions. Our classes are the perfect place to
begin to learn where you hold stuck stress, to learn simple techniques
so you understand how to restore the natural healing response of the
body that often gets interrupted by daily and chronic stresses, and to
proactively stay ahead of aging, injury and many common ailments.
