12.01.2022 What is the best posture for SITTING? With lots of people working from home right now this is more relevant than ever. The old fashioned view was that we had to sit perfectly straight, with everything in line.... This makes sense. But in fact is not supported by research at all. Time after time, research comes back showing that theres very little association between how you sit and the pain you experience. **The truth is that there is no one perfect way to sit** Slouching is OK Sitting with your head forwards is OK Sitting with crossed legs is OK So instead of focusing on how youre sitting, just try to change it up. Change your posture. Get up every so often. And make sure you inject some exercise into your day. Key takeaway: If you get sore sitting, simply change up your posture www.betterexercise.com.au

10.01.2022 FREE WEBINAR: Supporting Loved Ones in Pain This 30 minute presentation is for anyone that has a loved one that is suffering with persistent pain. This may be a child, partner, parent or friend. Their pain may be caused by a specific condition or it may be difficult to diagnose. ... All that matters is you want to do everything you can to support them. ------------------------- About your speaker: this webinar is run by Chris Neason, Exercise Physiologist and owner at The Healesville Wellness Factory. Chris has spent the last 10 years working with people in pain to help them better manage and live life on their terms. Chris will teach you ways to better support your loved one based on the latest evidence and research. We know that pain is a complex condition and how we interact and support with our loved ones can have a huge impact on their experience.

On the other hand if you do it well you can become part of the solution, helping them manage and overcome their pain. This is what this presentation aims to do. Instil you with the skills and knowledge to support your loved one. It’s free and it underpins our vision of 'helping people in pain live life on their terms'. We all need someone to lean on for support, especially people suffering in pain.
