We are sitting more than any time in history - and it's wrecking our bodies.

82% Of People Suffer From This - Are You One Of Them?

Are you sitting at a desk right now? The body is simply not designed to sit in a chair for prolonged periods of time, and yet 82% of us spend the majority of our days seated at a desk staring at a screen. While more and more studies confirm the risks and negative effects of a sedentary life, sitting has become the new norm as we move from the computer chair, to a vehicle, to the couch. Inactivity is toll it's taking on our bodies such as: 

  • Tight hips and a bad back
  • Weak legs and glutes
  • Poor posture
  • Sciatic pain
  • Weight gain
  • Brain fog
  • Low energy
  • Varicose Veins
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis 
  • Stiff neck and shoulders 
  • Digestive issues & constipation
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Increased risk of depression and anxiety

Why is sitting so bad for the body? 

Human bodies were designed for movement and varied physical activity, not for the static posture of sitting in a chair for extended periods. This sedentary behavior conflicts with your biological blueprint, which thrives on regular movement and a dynamic range of motion. When we sit for long hours, it disrupts the natural alignment and function of your skeletal structure, leading to imbalances in muscular strength and flexibility. This static position also compresses your internal organs, affecting circulation and digestion.

The general lack of physical activity reduces metabolic function, contributing to various health concerns like obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. Essentially, the human body is akin to a complex machine that requires regular, varied movement to maintain optimal health and functionality, a requirement starkly contrasted by the modern sedentary lifestyle dominated by prolonged sitting.

Fix the Root of the Issue

  • Eliminate knee, hip, and back pain 
  • Correct lower crossed syndrome and pelvic tilt
  • Restore muscle balance and a healthy range of motion
  • Establish proper posture and alignment
  • Increase mobility and joint health 
  • Decrease muscle and joint stiffness
  • Feel stronger!

Have you heard of adaptive muscle shortening?

There is a condition that most people, and even doctors, are failing to identify, but if you suffer from:

  • WEAK & TIGHT HIP FLEXORS
  • TIGHT HAMSTRINGS
  • POOR POSTURE
  • NECK TENSION
  • KNEE PAIN
  • BACK PAIN

...then you most likely have adaptive muscle shortening.

Adaptive Muscle Shortening Is a Result of Sitting Too Much

Your muscles are the engine by which you move, impacting every aspect of your body whether you realize it or not. Unfortunately, muscles do not naturally maintain their healthy or ideal range of motion on their own. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Muscles will change their functional resting length to adapt to the length at which they are habitually used or positioned.

This is bad news for most of us.

Sitting can result in weak hamstrings and glutes, with tight quads and hip flexors. This combination causes a rounded-forward posture with a pelvic tilt. Unfortunately, even 30 minutes of exercise a day does not fix these muscle imbalances, and can make the problem worse. Not only will shortened muscles impact your posture, but they will eventually lead to pain and injury.

 

Skeletal Degradation & Adaptive Muscle Shortening

Prolonged sitting puts excess pressure on the spine, particularly the lower back. This unnatural position can cause adaptive muscle shortening which can cause: chronic back pain, weakened abdominal muscles, and tight hip flexors. The lack of movement also contributes to muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

Increased Risk of Chronic Health Conditions

Sedentary behaviour, is associated with an increased risk of several chronic health conditions. These include obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even some forms of cancer. The lack of physical activity adversely affects metabolic health, leading to increased blood pressure, and abnormal cholesterol levels.

Impaired Circulation and Brain Fog

Sitting for long hours can impede blood circulation, particularly in the lower extremities, leading to swelling in the ankles, varicose veins, and increases the risk of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis). Poor circulation can also contribute to fatigue and decreased concentration, affecting overall productivity and mental well-being.

We're not just talking about a bit of body stiffness, sitting for extended periods of time can cause a multitude of problems such as:

  • Poor posture 
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Low energy and brain fog
  • Circulatory issues
  • Weight Gain
  • Back Pain
  • Metabolic Syndrome 
  • Digestive Issues
  • Hypertension
  • Increased Blood Pressure 
  • Abnormal Cholesterol Levels
  • Anxiety and Depression

If any of these sound familiar to you, don’t worry, because you’re not alone. Tight or shortened muscles affect nearly everyone. But before we get to the solution, we have to take a look at the root cause of the problem.

The Root of the Problem isn’t what you think…

Each of us has our own pain points, whether it be tight shoulders and neck, hamstrings, quads, etc. However, what we may not realize is the root of these problems is all connected through one muscle–one you’ve probably never heard of, let alone trained or stretched.

Introducing the Hidden Muscle that is the key to unlocking your full potential.

The psoas (so-as) is the muscle that connects the lower body to the upper body.
It is one of two muscles that makes up the iliopsoas, and is the bridge between your upper and lower body. Almost every movement involves the psoas, making it not only one of the most important muscles in the body, but also the secret to unlocking your full potential.

When the psoas is healthy and functioning correctly it creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizing the hips and supporting the lower back and abdomen. When it is unbalanced or tight, there are serious consequences in almost every part of your body, showing up as a pelvic tilt.

What causes the psoas to shorten?

Sitting, whether it be at a desk job, driving, or on the couch, will eventually lead to a shortened and underdeveloped psoas muscle.

Why isn’t everyone talking about this?

Diagnosing the root cause of symptoms can be tricky, and many health professionals struggle to pinpoint this muscle buried deep in your hips. Understand, that this is not your fault! However, now that you know, it’s up to you to do something about it. That’s where we come in.

Unlock your full potential through our sequential method.

Lengthening and strengthening the muscles, especially the psoas, needs to be done in the right order, with balance and intention. Concentrating on one muscle before the other can actually add to the problem, rather than improving it.

This is why so many people give up when they don't experience results within the first few days. The reality is, lengthening the muscles takes time, but our plan will have you feeling the difference within a couple weeks.

While many of the exercises may be ones you already know, doing the exercises in the right order and combining static with dynamic movements will make all the difference. Our goal is to help you unravel all the tissues including the muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and finally the joint itself.

The Shocking Truth of Adaptive Shortening

Adaptive shortening is muscle tightness caused by a muscle being forced to remain in a shortened position for a prolonged period of time. Whether it be driving, sitting at a desk, or on the couch, the cumulative time spent in these positions have real consequences on our muscles and the skeletal system. 

This shortening causes a reduced range of motion, a feeling of tightness in the muscles, and added stress on the connected tendons. However, most symptoms will not show up until the muscle has already shortened a significant amount. The results are postural distortion and the replacing of normal contractile elements with non-contractile tissue.

Chances are, your muscles are already unbalanced.

The earlier the intervention, the faster and better the results!

In every movement there are four main functions of the associated muscles:

  • Agonists - the muscles being exercised/worked.
  • Antagonists - the opposing muscles acting in contrast to the agonists.
  • Stabilizers - muscles that hold the joint in place.
  • Assistors - muscles that help the Agonist muscles.

Muscle Balance speaks primarily to the agonist and antagonist muscles in any given movement. It is important to have balance to prevent injury, which is why stretching is so important for everyone, not just athletes. When one muscle becomes tight, it’s antagonist will also be effected, and can even be injured as a result.

You see, our muscles are the engine through which our body moves. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk, and run. When our muscles become shortened, it causes problems in otherwise healthy people. 

 

Here's the truth:

Most people don’t realize that the cause of their problems is tight or shortened muscles. The impact tight muscles have on the whole body never occurs to us until we start to experience the symptoms. This can show up as a nagging injury, or in poor posture caused by upper and/or lower crossed syndrome. 

Shortened muscles and the resulting limited range of motion in the joints affects nearly everybody, but few realize they impact every aspect of the whole body. Diagnosing adaptive shortening can be tricky. Chances are, you won’t discover the problem until it has already limited your range of motion. The good thing is that it CAN be reversed.

Hitting the Gym for an Hour Isn't Enough to Reverse the Effects of Sitting

Knowing you have adaptive shortening in the muscles is one thing. Knowing how to take steps to reverse it is another challenge altogether.

We like to think that hitting up the gym for an hour before after work is enough to counteract sitting all day, but unfortunately emerging research suggests otherwise. Prolonged sitting creates a unique set of challenges that can't be fully reversed with short bursts of intense activity. It take a multi-faceted approach and targeting mobility, strength, and stability work to being to restore muscle balance and maintain joint and skeletal health despite having to sit. Life is busy, so for most of us the idea of piecing together a combination of activity, posture correction, and stability work is overwhelming - that's where we come in. 

Our mobility program has been designed to make the most of your time, targeting problem areas in a specific sequence to attack muscles from a variety of angles. Muscles have to be unpacked and balanced in a particular way to have the desired result. We also work on strengthening stabilizing muscle to ensure there is a strong muscle base for your movements. 

It is a combination of practices maintained over time that will help your muscles lengthen and sustain a healthy range of motion, especially as you age.
