End of Day Routine

Spine Mobility Exercise
Perform this seated spine mobility routine every day at 10:00am and 2:00pm to restore your access to neutral spine alignment. Then start the next hour sitting upright without back support hinged forward on your sit bones with a wide base of support as long as you can to start the next hour. You should have raised your monitor a few inches and transitioned to a saddle stool at this point of your neutral spine conditioning program.
