Sometimes, after a long day hunched over my laptop or sitting through meetings that seem never-ending, I catch myself thinking—*my spine feels like it’s been compressed into an accordion*. The simple act of standing up straight feels… not so simple. That’s when I discovered something that has since become a game-changer in my daily routine:…
Ever tried to grab something off a high shelf and felt that weird twinge in the middle of your back? Yeah, me too.
