she/they/it // powerlifting the pain away
I mean, in that it requires you to go out, be somewhere in person, and makes it easier to do something else on the way back home. Not a lot better but if your movement is otherwise unstructured it’s better than nothing.
setting up for some simple movements at home can really go a long way though. and definitely wish more offices had some simple weights, mats etc on hand (excluding the offices that have a gym to encourage you to be at work all the time)
is there a name for the reverse of this? like making a change for yourself that works great for your needs, but then assuming that others just need to do the same thing?
personally I like them a lot for cursors, it takes some getting used to but ig I’ve used laptop track pads a lot and I find it very comfortable and natural to use my thumb for it. definitely haven’t used it much for e.g. camera control in a 3d game though, feels awkward every time I’ve tried.
absolutely this!
I also think static stretching has its place in injury prevention for day-to-day sprains and injuries. Longer, more pliable muscles = not tearing your hamstring if you accidentally fall into a split. They can be great teaching tools too, and can incorporate some core training.
But otherwise foam rolling, banded distractions, dynamic warmups get the job done just fine. Even just starting right into a warmup set if the motion feels good already.
congratulations on your progress, being able to get into alignment is a huge milestone!! on a similar journey myself, it’s a daily struggle but these things really can get better.
