Is this course for you?

As a busy professional, do you sit for the majority of your days?
Have you seen in the news that "sitting is the new smoking" and are you concerned as to what sitting is doing to your health?
Are you stiff and sore by the end of your day?
Do you suffer from low back pain, headaches, shoulder pain, or any other musculoskeletal conditions?
Has your doctor told you that you need to sit less or perform anti sitting stretches, but not sure where to start?

Are you a busy professional who sits in traffic on your way to work, works all day sitting in front of a computer, gets home after dark and does not have the energy to do anything else but sit on the couch and watch T.V.? Has sitting all day, made you feel sluggish, and zapped your energy? Has your sitting job created health problems for you like weight gain or pain in your body?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are absolutely not alone. The vast majority of us sit all day long and have no real way to fix the issue. You may have recently heard that "sitting is the new smoking" and can cause all kinds of health issues. But what in the heck are we supposed to do? Many of us have tried exercise as a way to counter act the effects of sitting only to get injured. Fads, scary news, and the fact that life is just dang too busy can become extremely overwhelming, confusing, and stressful.

Meet your teacher:

My name is Dr. Michael Weir, and I am a wellness based chiropractor with over a decade in private practice, helping my busy, professional patients reach their fullest health potentials. My practice is in Bellevue, Washington home of Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and the vast majority of my patients sit at a computer all day long, some for as many as 12 hours a day. I was recently asked what the main problem is that I help, and my answer was "SITTING".

My back ground and post-doctorate education is in the field of "chiropractic neurology" and postural restoration. Poor posture has become an epidemic in our culture creating problems such as headaches, low back pain, mid back pain, shoulder discomfort and hip pain. Sitting is the main issue creating poor posture in our current culture. Not only does sitting create the poor posture related to pain, these postures are unsightly, make us look fatter than we actually are and reduce our overall confidence.

One of the things that greatly separate me from some other teachers is that I am still in daily private practice working one on one with my patients just like you in the real world. These principles in the Sitting Solutions are the principles that I have been teaching my patients one on one, for the last 12 years. I understand the struggles of sitting, because I hear the struggles that my patients deal with on a daily basis.

Why did I create The Sitting Solutions for the Busy Professional?

After over a decade in dealing with the struggles my patients have with sitting I found that each person who sits for too long deals with very similar issues. I have taken 1000's of x-rays of these patients and found that each person presents with varying degrees of the same problem. I have also found that the correction of these problems is also very similar in each of these "sitters". These patterns lead me to develop the specific correction plans that make up The Sitting Solutions.

This has become my expertise and I want to now give the gift of how to fix these issues to you. I have taken the education that I teach my patients on a one on one basis and recorded video of how to do each step of the process. This is a process that my patients will easily pay well over $1000 for. I want to make it accessible to anyone who sits the majority of their day.

What is The Sitting Solutions For The Busy Professional?

Sitting Solutions is about demystifying the steps necessary to fix the damaging effects of sitting. You see it on Facebook, Twitter and even in the news now that sitting is bad for you, but they don't give you solutions for how to fix it. Some websites may give you a few ways to help with the sitting effects, but do not give the entire process which leaves you feeling "half way put together". Its four simple tools to help you fix your body in a simple, uncomplicated way. Sitting Solutions gives you the tools, the knowledge, and the motivation to make fixing your body a part of your life.

Why Sitting Solutions For The Busy Professional?

I have found in over a decade private practice that if my busy patients did not make simple lifestyle changes there was no way that they would be able to 1) feel better and 2) even if they did start to feel better they had a terrible time sustaining those changes. That is why I wanted to make a program and a course that was easy to make into a life style. I wanted to make it something that you look forward to instead of dreading.These reutines should be very easy, take a short amount of time and be something that you need very little space for. It should also be something that you could do at the office with ease, and this is all what The Sitting Solutions does for you.

Don't forget that with The Sitting Solutions For The Busy Professional, you have the Udemy 30 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Is The Sitting Solutions For The Busy Professional Exercise Program?

Not in the traditional sense...The Sitting Solutions is more of a movement program designed to specifically counteract the effects of sitting on the body. There is no cardio, no weight lifting, but we will be doing some stretches, and some strength building to break the stiffness and muscle imbalances that sitting creates.

Introduction to the Sitting Solutions

Welcome to The Sitting Solutions for the Busy Professional, your guide on how to completely reverse the terrible effects that sitting is having on your body. If you are watching this course you probably sit most of your days. Sitting is having a tremendous impact on your physical body, both your back and neck, as well as most of your organ systems (as we will see shortly in an upcoming lecture). To counteract these effects (which I call the sitting effects) and reverse the damage that has been done we have to develop a strategic plan of movement. This is what we will be covering in detail in The Sitting Solutions, is the strategic plan developed by Dr. Weir over 12 years to help fix your body, increase your vitality, and skyrocket your health and wellness!

We hear it all over the place...in the news, on facebook, from your doctor..."Sitting is the new smoking". The question is, how can we say that? Is sitting really the new smoking? Where does that come from? In this lecture Dr. Weir walks us through what the research says about sitting. Is sitting really the "new smoking" and is it really effecting your health in a negative way? Take a look a what the research says and you decide!

In this lecture Dr. Weir walks us through how The Sitting Solutions is organized and how to use this course to get the most out of it. The Sitting Solutions is organized into 1. Assessments (which tell us where to start, and which program, beginner, intermediate, or advanced is right for you) 2. Warm ups and 3. The Sitting Solutions for the hips and back, mid back/shoulders and neck. Please follow the corrects steps while progressing through The Sitting Solutions as they will address if your body has any problems we need to be careful of (in which case you will start as a beginner).

Sitting has huge effects on the musculoskeletal system (the bones, muscles, joints, discs, etc...). In this lecture Dr. Weir shows us how these negative effects can show up as pain and symptoms in each area of the body. From headaches to sciatica sitting can be a nasty thing.

In this first assessment of the hips we find out your mobility pattern and if there is any pain. Again, please work through each assessment as they will direct you where to start The Sitting Solutions.

This video was recorded in March 2020 for Dr. Weir's patients in response to the COVID-19 crisis. As I'm sure most of you are, most of Dr. Weir's patients are working from home and he wanted to give them a resource for setting up their home work stations.
