Gave the Seated Neck Glides a shot during my lunch break. Ten reps later the headache I usually get from hunching over my laptop just… lifted. Felt good enough to skip the Tylenol and finish the day pain-free!

I had a hard time standing today. Finally decided to do some supported squats. I did them three times this week, and I can already start to feel more stable on my feet!

Did the Gentle Hip Opener lying in bed last night. First time in weeks I rolled over at 3 a.m. and didn’t wake up the whole house with my ‘ouch’ soundtrack.
