How To Care For Your Body While Working A Desk Job

What does somatically-good computer use look like? I professionally resolve chronic pain and structural issues, so I made this class. Desk work is so common, and with poor form it can be huge bodily stressor, but it doesn't have to be.

Hi, I'm Elena, a machine-learning-engineer-turned-bodyworker! I'm developing my own modality called "regenerative touch," but I have roots in massage therapy and craniosacral. And before that, I have roots in academic math and physics research, and software engineering.

Topics we will cover in this class include but are not limited to:

• The effect of desk work on anatomical structures - "becoming desk shaped" as muscles and fascia dynamically reshape, and how to move to counteract this.
• Why "good posture" might not feel accessible to you - if it feels like straining or effort
• How to read our bod's language of internal sensations - what does sluggishness mean, versus pinching or pulling

P.S. In addition to resolving pain and structural issues, I'm also a relaxation professional. You can see more about my bodywork practice here: https://www.elenalakebodywork.com/
