Each and every year, more and more of the nations work force is moving behind the desk into office related jobs.

The hours spent on these jobs are increasing as well. Typical workdays require less activity as technology and automation take over the most basic manual tasks.

Today’s population is no longer using free time away from the office to engage in physical activity. We have become an inactive, sedentary culture at work and at home. The decreased work related activity combined with less basic daily activity is causing serious musculoskeletal dysfunction in our bodies. We can’t function like we are supposed to.

Couple this trend with the current food industry, which competes for our dollars by offering value in bigger portions. We live in an environment where we are constantly surrounded be easily accessible food that is inexpensive, tastes good, and is served in large portions. It is easily understood why two-thirds of Americans are overweight. We eat more and move less.

The result of our technology enriched, sedentary lifestyle leads to muscular dysfunction, postural distortions, ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder injuries as well as chronic low back issues.

This degenerative deconditioning is costing businesses approximately $120 billion dollars in lost work time alone*.

Our current environment and lifestyle produces inactive and non-functional people which leads to muscular dysfunction, postural distortions, and chronic injury.
